Mal ,'Shindig'
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.
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?
Have we ever heard about Tony at all before this point? I was so confused about him. I think I agree with a lot of the criticisms in the AVC review.
Don't kill off Cosima nooooooo.
We have not. I find it interesting that he was raised by his birth parents, if not his genetic parents, and, yeah, I really hope he ends up being fleshed out more.
I generally agree with that review, as well.
I don't.
It's 2 to 1, you're outvoted, we're throwing you in the Brig.
...Am I in the right thread?
I more or less agree with that review, too. I don't think Tony was as convincing, or as fully formed, as the other clones, and the fact that no one was questioning Helena's whereabouts seemed really sloppy.
On the other hand, I liked the intercut of Rachel's discussion with Ethan and her trashing her desk, but I think that was because I read it as Rachel being furious that her creators had so clearly decided her biological limitations, and taken away her opportunity to choose.
For the first time, I felt like there was a little bit too much going on for me to follow it properly.
I agree with the article in that I don't like that no one seems to care where Helena is and that the make-up department totally failed in creating Tony, but overall I still really liked this episode.

Even in the right thread, justice is not put to a vote.

Trial by combat!
In on-topic, I agree with sj and Amy.
