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.
2nd Xbones was less good. The acting remains first rate, and the writers give good intrigue and double dealing. But the women were rather backgrounded in this one. Not that they were not important plot points, just not given much character development. (No, romance with the lead does not count as character development.) While trusted woman Lieutenant choosing not to have sex with Blackbeard keeps her from being shoved into the category of minion/mistress, her reasoning (basically if they have sex, he will lose interest in her) is kind of the old 50s "the women you really love are the ones you don't have sex with". Plus she still gets the traditional role of being worried about the risks he takes, risks he pooh-poohs.
One exception: the young women pirate, who I thought had a very tiny part in the first one is showing some character development - a little bit more than a Conan with tits.
One advantage of a pirate series, especially one that is only loosely connected to historical reality of the time is you don't have to lock women characters into traditional gender roles. After a promising start, it seems like they felt the the women were a bit further out of the box than they liked, and shoved them a step back in.
OMG, Orphan Black! This show! Fucking Tony?
I know why Pete and Myka got together on Warehouse 13.
Someone wrote a fanfic about them using an artifact.
Maybe a computer once owned by Steven Moffat.
OMG, Orphan Black! This show! Fucking Tony?
I did not see that coming.
Tony hitting on Felix - so very, very wrong.
Right? So disturbing. Sister kisser. Well played, show.
Also disturbing - Ethan saying Kira is the prize.
When I said
Donnie doesn't exactly gave a Mr. Wolf to call in, though. Poor guy.
I should have known that he does have an Alison.
Unless Alison sends in the clones (sorry - couldn't resist), that's not going to end well. At all.
eta Well or Felix.
So Rachel doesn't actually know he's dead. When she started telling people he'd had a heart attack I figured Dyad had found the body. I guess that was just what she was going to say to let him disappear.
The more I think about it the more interesting it gets. Beth knew of another clone she didn't tell Alison or Cosima about. Sadly I think the whole message thing concerning Paul is a "tell not show" on the part of the writers.
On a completely different note, why do I suspect there is going to be a monster influx of fanfic concerning Tony and whichever clone of choice?
Well, that was an interesting direction. Bless the writer's for having Fi do pronoun exposition. (I have issues with Tony's eyebrows, though they're not any more groomed than Fi's. But I've been noticing the clones' eyebrows lately anyway.)
We got to the last scene and I said, "Kira, you're gonna be creepy, aren't you? Don't be creepy." And then she was creepy.
And Rachel's reaction to the "Sarah's the one who turned out wrong" conversation...got some bottled-up feelings, there, have we?
