Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cosima vs. Abed, the roleplaying wars.

Interesting--I just watched Dark Angel S2 because a) it was there and b) Jensen, and wondered about the stunting. Her fights are staged oddly, either sped up or slowed down, so it feels more athletic than martial. Pages 1 and 2 of the search say she did all her own stunts, and page 3 lists a resume of a woman who says she was her stunt double on the show.

Now, who knows who does what, but if she is claiming she did 100% of the stunts, is she fucking with someone else's CV, or is she just fucking with us.

(I started watching Buffy because they said she had a brown belt in TKD, so it's not like I haven't been fooled before)

Wow, this episode is hitting cry buttons I didn't know I had. The last time I had that experience was the movie HER.

And...as soon as we come back from commercial...Donnie grows a gianourmous set of balls. It's a damn shame Alison wasn't there to watch that.

Because books.

DONNIE! Holy shit, I love Alison and Donnie.

I can't quite believe this episode came with assbabies. Or, you know. Close to.

Also, SHIT. I did not see that switch coming, and I should have. Fucking Rachel. I think she's probably completely insane, after watching her watch the video (again).

Alison+Donnie 4EVAH! I forget, does Donnie have a job?

Rachel is very clever. Damn.

What was that line last week about Helena needing to do her own thing? That was pretty much Helena being Helena.

I can't quite believe this episode came with assbabies.

Heh. I didn't think of it from that perspective. Metahilarious!

I had joked to myself that Alison and Donnie were going to have the best sex of their marriage if they pulled this off, but I guess I was right.

And OMG Helena burning the whole place down. I hope she let the (non-human) animals out at least.

Well, um, we don't know EXACTLY where she inserted that do we? I think Helena might have been a little more eye for an eye, so to speak.

Oh yeesh, Frank, I didn't think of that. Well, too bad for him.

I was very worried Felix was dead. George R.R. Martin better never start writing for this show.

Any ideas what "Topside" might mean?
