'Beneath You'


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.

Compassionately intolerant

Arrow = Doug Jones acting...not in make up! Good on him.

Bad me, I did not recognize him! Not exactly not in makeup, though.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm intrigued by the implications raised in the scene at STAR Labs, when Cisco realized that Deathbolt wasn't in Central City when the particle accelerator went kaboom.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have finished watching the first three episodes of iZombie, and I think it's cute but not my one true show. Perhaps I got my expectations built up too much. I thought the detective bought into the psychic thing a little too quickly, and I would like to see Liv try a little harder to resist the impulses of whoever's brain she has just eaten.

David Anders really is wonderful, as usual.

I'm editing an article on the shortage of organs available for donations, and juxtaposed with reading comments about iZombie, I have the giggles. Brain donation! It's a thing! Just ask Liv and Blaine.

Me too, Steph. I don't know what to think, but I am mighty intrigued.

I am extremely interested to find out if Liv keeps any of the skills she picks up from eating brains or if they are just temporary. Like, can she still draw? Does she remember random facts? DOES SHE KNOW KUNG FU?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I thought the detective bought into the psychic thing a little too quickly, and I would like to see Liv try a little harder to resist the impulses of whoever's brain she has just eaten.

I would agree with both of those criticisms, especially the first.

I am extremely interested to find out if Liv keeps any of the skills she picks up from eating brains or if they are just temporary.

Pretty sure it's been established that they're just temporary. She has to eat more of the brain to get a new fix (like with the artist), and when she's out, it's out.

I don't think the skills have been established either way, just the character traits.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It looked like they were going to go there when the detective asked her to sketch something the episode after the artist, but then they didn't.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I want her to combine brains for a meal and see what happens.
