Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
Oh, shit. Sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tatiana Maslany just blows me away. Every episode I have to remind myself that all those people are her. And I have to say, Orphan Black is the first show in a long time that keeps hitting me with OMGWTFHSQ moments and yet none of those moments seem to come from nowhere just to shock the audience; it's all organic to the story. As if the writers had a plan or something, IDK.

If they don't have a plan, they are really superb improvisers. Evidence for this: in one of the early episodes, talking to the representatives from the Koreas, Rachel referred to the Supreme court that kind of Jossed a lot of the implications of the copyright claims in the DNA as the completion of the first tranche of results achieved by their lobbying. Nice save, show. Well played. Minor example, but the fact that they pay attention to that level of detail is telling.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've heard they have a three-year plan. The Supreme Court was nice improv, though.

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

That was hilarious. I'm also still incapable of not hearing "motherfucker" in my head when I read or hear the word "namaste".

Orphan Black: Man, that Sarah-Helena road trip was everything I hoped for AND MORE.
Also, I love that Ms. S is all up in EVERYTHING.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, I guess I've seen all of this season of Metal Hurlant on Syfy. It's not good. Heavily reliant on twist endings, and they are not that twisty. But it's fun seeing the same actors pop up again and again, and that occasionally gets used to clever effect.
I like it in a junk-food way; like eating a sugary cereal you loved as a kid, even if it isn't tasty anymore it reminds you of the enjoyment you used to get from it.
