This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

I love Monday nights.
Me too. Even if I don't get to see the lineup until Tuesday, if I'm lucky.
I was pleasantly surprised by the sexbot episode. Some touching moments, compassion towards the androids (and not all from Dorian), a clear connection between the exploitation of synthetic women and the exploitation of human women. Worked for me.

Also, glass armonica! Awesome!
I've decided it was the theremin of the 18th century.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was surprised by a huge instrument I'd never heard of. I felt shamed. I wonder if the guy who didn't know suicide knew this. Like, what does he know?

I just rewatched TNG's "The Inner Light", and now I think I'm going to be crying all day.
OMG yes.
In other 20 year old sci fi TV news, I have started Babylon 5 season 5. I bailed before Season 5 when I watched it 10 years ago. G'Kar continues to be awesome, and Tracy Scoggins's eyes and teeth freak me out.

I was obsessed with glass armonicas for a while, but that was rather a long time ago, so my factual recall is suspect. Ben Franklin invented them. I want to say Mozart wrote for them. Some people thought the sound could make you lose your marbles.
It's an awfully clever idea.

I just watched a B7 episode that got me--the one where Tarrant's brother figts on behalf of a realm of planets while Avon suspects it's rigged, and Tarrant is tapped into his brother's experiences, and Dayna is feeling the opponent's feeling and Avon is trying to block Servalan...and the brother dies while his bro is plugged in and...aieee! I didn't expect feels from Blakes 7! I thought they'd atrophied, at least.

Nora: I hated Tracey Scoggins SO MUCH. Season 5 of Bab5 was such a failure, I swear.
the cop that hates McCoy was complaining to a female cop, wasn't he? Or was he complaining to Minka?
He was complaining to Minka.

Nora, do yourself a favor and fast-forward any time the guy with the blond ponytail is speaking.
