Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Willow ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

^^Like.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

IDW publishing is launching Orphan Black Comics: [link]

I suspect they'll talk about it more in Comic Con. Everything I've heard about SDCC tells me it'll be like the ninth circle of hell for me to actually experience personally, but I *am* pretty keen to see the news and trailers and other cool stuff to come out of the con.

In an ideal world, they'll live-stream the popular tracks on video so that those of us at home can watch stuff from the comfort of our living rooms (either with a nominal fee or with ads). Some music festivals do this already and it's the best thing ever.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Looks like the Orphan Black panel is 6pm Friday. Start checking YouTube shortly thereafter.

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

Anyone watching Extant? It feels very artificially drawn out.

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

That looks so fucking awesome, I can't even.

I can't say anything not spoilery so I'm gonna just sit in this corner and flail quietly.

Also coming out of SDCC -- the Clone Club presented this to Tatiana Maslany during OB panel, which made my heart grow three sizes bigger: [link]

Look at those matryoshka dolls of the clones! Fans are so talented.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can't say anything not spoilery so I'm gonna just sit in this corner and flail quietly.

Is it spoilery to say "Oh, flashback wig. Never change."?

Otherwise, I'm just squeeing like Bobby Hill over here.

I *can* say how freakin' happy I am that they changed the colour filter of the flashbacks. Ugh, the gray-green island palette was the WORST.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I got my season 2 DVDs of Orphan Black and watching the bonus bits, I found it hilarious that while the 4 clone dance scene basically took two days to film, plus some choreography and reshoots, that the confrontation between Sarah and Rachel in the first episode of the season (I think it was the first, but early in the season anyway) took way, WAY longer because it was actual clone-on-clone contact and closeups.

It does make me think that the little hand contact between Cosima and Sarah may have taken almost as much time as the dance scene. It also sounds like the person who had to do the most running around choreography wise was Felix in the dance scene, since he had contact with everyone except Helena.

Aha! So the Arrow folks initially wanted Ted Kord and was told the character was unavailable (hmmm) which is why they went with Ray Palmer : [link]
