Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

Frank, the one thing I can't do so far is really binge-watch -- every episode is so intense, I wind up being really anxious. It's a fantastic concept, and Tatiana Maslany is just amazing.

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

I'm in awe of Tatiana - where did they find her?

Canada! She'd been in some Canadian stuff like Being Erica. And lots of other small things with critical acclaim.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Frank, the one thing I can't do so far is really binge-watch -- every episode is so intense, I wind up being really anxious.

See, that's what makes me want to watch the next one NOW! Like I had to watch the third episode tonight too, because of the way they introduced Cosima at the very end of the second. HAD to see what what happened next.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ugh, I am almost done with a marathon re-watch; the season premiere snuck up on me!

It's so damn awesome, but the Alison&Felix Show is gold. They're my OB OTP.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bonus: The opening theme is hilariously jaunty yet creepy.

Isn't it though? And the viusals too, quite beautiful but disturbing. I just finished season one this week. I still only recognise intellectually that some of those characters are played by the same person. While watching, it just doesn't enter my head.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I seriously can't relate one single person playing all those characters. Even when I see Tatiana interviewed, it still doesn't click. My brain will jump up and say, "Oh, I hope they bring on the actress who plays Alison!" and then I quickly realize, "Um... that is the actress who plays Alison."

I'm also thrilled that Orphan Black was nominated for a Hugo! “Variations under Domestication” is one of my favorite episodes!

And yes, I could watch Felix and Alison interact for hours!

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

I've never watched Orphan Black, but it's just gone in my Watch Next queue. I saw a poster for it and went, oh, hey, who are these actresses, why aren't they all named...wait, this is what? I looked at that and literally thought it was three different women.

BTW Boing Boing posted a full recap of tonight's episode this morning. I lost the link. But I'm sure it is easy to find if you want spoilers. If you want to avoid spoilers, and visit Boing Boing regularly, watch out for that post.
