Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Favorite Arrow snark from the latest I've seen so far (last weeks):

Sin: "You know your boyfriend's an idiot, don't you?"

Thea (straight faced) "It's my first thought in the morning, and my last thought at night."

Also, I mock the notion that there was any actual glorious purpose to the American Revolution, but, whatever.

Mostly you are right. Though Thomas Paine seemed to sincerely believe otherwise. Of course he was considered too radical by most of the other founders.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Abbachod is also a possibility as a portmanteau. But for sure, No Romo for me, either.

I'm crossing my fingers we get more Zombie John Cho, eventually.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yolabod.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Marvel announced that they will be producing four original series for Netflix, focusing on the characters of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. They’ll get thirteen hours apiece, screening through Netflix and, in a slightly Avengers-like fashion, culminate in a grand crossover, The Defenders.

I just had a nerdgasm.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Me too, Tom. ME TOO.

Just pray that the people producing them are not the ones behind the Netflix werewolf series that so sucked.

That's the genius of using these characters. Luke Cage and Iron Fist were created in the 70s as Marvel's response to Black and Kung-Fu exploitation films. If they're not a little bit cheesy, then you're not doing it right. All Marvel really has to do is not be racist.

yes. YES.

All Marvel really has to do is not be racist.

I am not sure that is a gauntlet I wan't thrown.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, old school terminology meets horrific new portmanteau.

I didn't even know about fandom in X-files days, but that is the only phrase I could think.
