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.
Oh yeah. Poor Fi.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

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

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/

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

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.
Finally caught up on Arrow.
Wasn't too thrilled with the finale. I mean, it was okay, and I liked the parallel Slade/Ollie fights and Ollie's speech to Slade at the end, but I didn't care for the Felicity/Ollie fake out and I found the "release the Suicide Squad to help us stop Waller" plan really ill-advised.
One thing I did like from the previous episode was Blood going on and on about how he was still going to fix the city after giving Ollie the Mirakuru cure and Ollie's incredulous "You think they're going to let you still be mayor after this?"

'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"
Goodbye to Warehouse 13, which went out in style. You have to admire a "clip" show where the clips are mostly new material. I'll miss the goofiness and warmth for sure, until my Eureka-shaped void is filled by a worthy show again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wasn't too thrilled with the finale. I mean, it was okay
Hey, me too. It didn't feel climactic. But maybe that's my level of fandom not reacting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Today I rewatched some old Doctor Who, The Pyramids of Mars. The actor who did the voice of Sutekh also voiced the Devil in the new series' two-parter, The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. Two excellent pieces of vocal acting.
For those who remember Pyramids fondly, and wondered what Sutekh got up to afterwards, the DVD includes this little extra: [link]
While I'm at it, I came across these two rankings of Doctor Who adventures. The first one just ranks the new series: [link] This one does both new Who and old, arranged in five categories. [link] (Only one new Who is rated Disappointing, namely Fear Her.) It's not completely up-to-date, but comes close.

Pyramids of Mars--where people die from being hugged by mummies!

I'm now imagining a Pyramids of Mars/Empty Child mash-up.

It took me a moment, billy. A moment I'll never get back, a moment of innocence.
