But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Because books.

Me, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They were the round kind with leather and sticks pointing out at the top. Did Colonials make tents that coincidentally looked like the teepees that Crane kept talking about?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Half-naked, tied-down, sweaty, writhing people worked for me. I appreciate that they did it to the fella too.

I kind of dug the Indian guy with a kitschy business having actual religious/spiritual/cultural inclinations. There is certainly rl precedence for that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I echo Trudy. I'm not expecting a lot, here.

I was really deeply hoping for more sensitive handling of ethnic diversity so to see the ball dropped that hard right out the gate after I'd been pointing at the black co-exec producer and wondering if he was mitigating shit...damned, that exact shit could have happened in New Orleans to black folk, in slave days to black folk anywhere in these fine states, to Jamaica to my mother right now...it is merely othering, and for a show that was pulling in so many others so efficiently it's a stark reminder that we are still others, even if we get lulled into a sense of comfort and familiarity.

I didn't previously wonder if they came from a voudoun/Santeria background, but you bet it's on the edges of my mind now...

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's not the scene I'm thinking of. There were teepees in the foreground, not the background.

I was remembering the scene in Daniel's picture.

Mostly I'm still thinking about Tom Mison shirtless, though.

Compassionately intolerant

I've rewatched all three episodes and I have to say, I loved the pilot, but enjoyed the second episode even more. The third just left me cold. I SO hope this is not a trend. Much as I love Ichabod...and I truly do...I don't know if he can carry this whole thing for me.
