Dammit. I had some hope.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.
'Get It Done'
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Orphan Black:
Oh, my, I love Sarah and Mark in reluctant alliance. While it lasted.
I might love Helena's helpful imaginary scorpion better, though. I need to get in touch with my inner scorpion. Pretty weird when stabbing someone in the brin with a scalpel is an act of mercy, but good for her.
Alison getting everything incriminating into labeled plastic tubs and out of the house is just so Alison. Fuckin' Ramon. I like the old boyfriend thing, that's interesting.
Cosima needs to hang out with Felix a lot.
Oh, no, poor Gracie.
I don't really get why Johanssen's clone would be more valuable than the Castor clones. Just being a different line from the same source so different copying errors, I guess?
Fine I will read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell as soon as I have finished The Casual Vacancy. How did I become a person whose reading is driven by what is coming on TV?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Did anyone else watch the Once Upon a Time two-hour finale?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Yes, sort of. My attention kept wandering.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't really get why Johanssen's clone would be more valuable than the Castor clones. Just being a different line from the same source so different copying errors, I guess?
I think the idea was that the Castor and Leda lines were significantly modified from the original genome, but Johanssen had created a straight-up duplicate of the original, so that genome wouldn't have the health problems introduced by the synthetic DNA. (But apparently had health problems significant enough to die as an infant, so...other risks, probably!)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Did anyone else watch the Once Upon a Time two-hour finale?
Not yet. It's on the DVR for tonight.

Did anyone else watch the Once Upon a Time two-hour finale?
Yes. At first it reminded me a little of Superstar and The Wish though not nearly as good, then it veered into rehash territory of that Back to the Future Episode where Emma has to get Snow and Charming to fall in love, but I did find the resolution
of Henry becoming the new author somewhat satisfying.
Sadly, watching a Henry-centric episode of OUAT is always painful as that poor child actor is just not very good, not even compared to Jennifer Morrison who becomes harder to watch every season.

I did notice that Hook's eyeliner seems to be a permanent accouterment.

I haven't watched yet. Probably tomorrow since TCG was home today and doesn't watch it.

I just finished the OuaT finale and am pretty well satisfied.
