Willow ,'Showtime'
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.
Mulan's unrequited love for Princess Aurora makes me a little bit uneasy. On the one hand, good on them for adding TehGay at all. On the other, the one lesbian is the woman who goes around in armor, wielding a sword and basically filling roles normally reserved for men in her universe, and it still has to be tragically unrequited and apparently hopeless.
Enjoyed the episode overall.
Also, Prince Charming really should not be keeping his poisoning a secret. If nothing else, they should know so their tactics can allow for the possibility that he could be out of action in as little as a few days. I know this multiverse has no logic fairy, but I really wish important plot points would not turn on characters stupidly withholding information from one another.
I just watched the first ep of Wonderland. I'm interested so far, but the bad Meg Ryan lips on the Red Queen are really distracting.
Watching last week ep of sleepy hollow. Can I just say the lieutenant was a child when she 'betrayed' her sister. She and Jenny need to work it out - but the rest of the world should get it
So far I'm enjoying Wonderland. I'm not all that bothered by bad CGI. The special effect budget is what it is, and normally if the best thing about the show is the CGI my attention will wander quickly anyway. (Rare exception: Fantastic Planet where the imaginative animation more than made up for the Meh script.)
Re: Sleepy Hollow
The Roanoke colonists spoke early modern English, the same English found in the King James Bible. Also, there's really no mystery about where they went.
But this is so batshit crazy, I sort of love it. I also love that Ichabod is clearly Sherlock Holmes's ancestor in some way.
Old English sounded really Germanic, huh? Unless they're just making that up.
Old English, the language of Beowulf, was a close cousin of Old German. Middle English, the language of Chaucer, kept some German-like pronunciation. For example, enough ended in that strangled Germanic K. IIRC, the scholarship that determined how Old and Middle English were pronounced, based on things like rhyme schemes, post-dates Ichabod.
Also, there's really no mystery about where they went.
There's a point at which one needs to let an alternate universe be alternate, or you'll strangle it.
I think you mean universe, lady.
