I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Angel ,'Sleeper'


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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Having watched two episodes of Gotham now, I'm still not sure what to think. It's like someone threw the 60's Batman show, the Burton movies and a hyper-violent gritty crime drama in a blender and then threw it against a wall.

That also seems to be the way they develop their scripts. Logic and coherency doesn't seem to be their strong suit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I know I'm fairly new to Sleepy Hollow, but I'd think that by now they'd have learned to run AWAY from the spooky incomprehensible shit, not walk toward it.

Well, their job is to fight the spooky shit.

And UST between Abby and Hawley would dilute some of the draw between her and Ichabod, which makes me nervous.

Well, now that it seems that her sister has hit that, it opens the door for way more drama in the future.

I really DON'T want that kind of tension between Abbie and Ichabod. I like them much better as destined comrades in arms.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes to that, please.

Hawley as Scully to Abbie's Mulder would definitely work.

What happened to her ex on the police department? Was he killed off last year or is he still around somewhere?

I think Irving's possessed daughter killed him.

I was just cheering that Katrina actually managed to do something in this episode.

I miss Irving and want him back soon.

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

ICHABBIE IS CANON

(I miss Irving too)

(I don't get the point of Katrina, but if she disappears, the expectation will be for literal Ichabbie, which I'm not actually down for, despite chants)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Actually, I kind of liked Katrina having a dark side ... and, actually, doing something ... anything.
