'Touched'


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.

Seeing Felix's control slip was awful. He seemed so young all of a sudden, and so vulnerable.

I know what I forgot to mention before -- Gracie. I was not expecting the lips sewn shut thing, or her mother's absolute viciousness. That was horrifying.

Yeah, it was. I'm gonna take a stand and say I don't like that crowd.

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

That image is horror movie trope, but it shocked me in this context. Yeah - I don't like anyone who thinks that's a valid punishment. They deserve a visit from Helena even if Gracie tried to kill her.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Yeah, Felix going from "what are you gonna do?" To "Oh, god, what are you going to do!" hit really hard.

Devastating.

Ok, that sniper scene with Helena and Sarah and Art? As good as the final scene in Rachel's shower last week. Helena is a great character because she is a true wild card, and as a viewer, I can't assume anything with her thoughts or actions or reactions.

I mean, she didn't kill Gracie last week, after Gracie tried very hard to kill her. I do not understand why.

The different sex scenes shown were crazy opposite, and the wrong one got interrupted! On the one hand, fun, silly, sexy, passionate. On the other, cold, super fucking freaky (what was UP with her sticking her fingers in his mouth like she was checking his teeth?), kinda rapey, with control and power and rage issues everywhere.

I fucking love Art and always feel safe when he's in the mix. I am sure that assumption will get killed off horribly.

Cal, I don't know what's up with him. he might just be living off the grid mountain man, but I don't know. Felix doesn't trust him, and I trust Felix pretty well with that.

Yeah, but she never suspected anything of Siobhan.

She did tell Sarah that Mrs. S was lying, that night in the birds' nest when everything went to shit. I don't think that Keira picked up on anything else because I think that Mrs. S genuinely wants what's best for Keira and Sarah and that comes through for Keira.

In conclusion: this had too much (read: any at all) Paul and too little (read: none) of Mrs. S.

The fingers in mouth thing was bizarre and unsexy It looked like she was gonna pull out a transmitter or cyanide pill or something.

I am with you on Mrs. S, Nora. She knew more than she was telling, but I do think she's on Sarah's side.

I'm extremely curious where Felix came from. Is he camouflage or does he have some extreme secret background that necessitates keeping hi hidden, too?

Totally concur on this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, right? If Mrs. S were a regular foster mother, she could somehow end up with one science experiment and one regular kid, but I'm going to say that's not what happened here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh yeah. Poor Fi.

Thanks to Fay for the heads up: ABC is going to air a new weekly fairy tale musical comedy series to fill Once Upon A Time void until the winter season of OUAT airs. [link]

Not that the above link is direct to the trailer mp4 and will play when you click it. Not flash, so normal flashblock does not stop it. I don't know for sure when it airs, and what the time slot will be. But I'm going to guess at "soon" and the OUAT time slot/

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Tonight is the series finale of Warehouse 13. I'm going to miss it.
