This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Buffy ,'Potential'


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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm with Dana. The bickering in the car scenes are the highlight of the show.

The Wall has been mentioned several times, starting with the pilot, there just hasn't been much emphasis on it until recently.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight. The show probably doesn't belong in this thread, but I thought I'd mention it since Kyle Killen's last show (Awake) did. I wish it had something less mindless for a lead in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't been able to decide if I am intrigued by Mind Games or not. I dislike that one guy, and I might be over Christian Slater, so it all pretty much depends on the premise, and I don't think I know what that is.

It seems like Leverage, but with psychology. I'm mainly going to watch because I loved what Killen did with Awake and because I'll know many of the actors since it shot in Chicago.

Yeah, the Leveraginess is what's appealing. And I did like Awake, mostly. Hm.

Well, it's not conflicting with anything tonight, I can record this one and I hope I get around to watching it before too long.

I feel like I should watch Mind Games, as a friend of a friend (and someone whom I've also met at assorted Browncoat functions) is one of the writers, but I barely have enough time for what little TV I already do watch.

Because books.

I met the guy who wrote the book that Intelligence is based on tonight! Great guy, although his book is actually YA (the protagonist is 16) and when he sold the rights, a LOT of stuff was changed. (Josh Holloway is in his 40s, right?)

I haven't seen it -- has anyone else?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's pretty standard network fare. But Josh Holloway.

(And it does sound like they changed a lot, because he's like ex-special forces super soldier.)

I think the book is about how he got that way, from the blurb I just read on Amazon. It's called Phoenix Island, by John Dixon, who is a super nice guy. I'd like to read it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I started laughing at the "I am blind!" reveal because OF COURSE.

INORITE! I mean, how long have you been stalking this chick and you don't notice she's blind?

I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight.

I am irrationally annoyed that it only comes on once. I forgot about it until now. I may not bother to get into it since it's up against Person of Interest and Justified (although I can watch Justified later), but I find that when I have these multiple time show, I get behind very quickly.
