'Serenity'


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

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

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I found most of the performances in Bizarro Fairy Tale Land odd. The characters acted like they knew they were playing pretend.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

I'm putting that down to 1. Their real selves bleeding through and 2. Isaac not being very good at origfic.

Also? When Person A sacrifices not only their own happiness, but the happiness of the man they claim to love, in order to protect person B, I feel it makes a fairly strong statement about Person A's feelings for Person B.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Some were better than others, at least to the point I've reached (the swordfight between Charming and Hook). Robin and Regina do well, possibly because their characters aren't changed all that much. Rumplestiltskin has no depth, although that may have been intentional. I keep thinking that Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow in particular is having a little too much fun and may burst out laughing at any moment.

The idea may have been similar to some of the personality-switch episodes in Buffy -- give the actors a change of pace from playing the same old character every episode.

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

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

As it should be.

Jack Sparrow reference! I so want Emma Swan and Elizabeth Swan to be related somehow.

Rumplestiltskin has no depth, although that may have been intentional.

I loved him as the heroic night in the beginning. He's really the only reason I'm still watching this show.

Considering they're both Disney properties, I wouldn't be surprised to see this actually happen.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Suit ring!

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