'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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Was that the season finale? Yikes!

Curing Blaine strikes me as pretty futile unless the cure fails and kills him. He has his customer list, presumably in his head. On that list has to be someone who is easy to control or easy to con. Or perhaps someone like Jackie (before he killed her) who is so sexually entrance by him to be loyal. So he chooses someone who will turn him rather than eat him, and gets rezombified.

I'm kind of hoping that once you're cured, you're immune.

If not, all Blaine would have to do is grab a zombie's hand and scratch himself with one of their fingernails. Disguise it as a vigorous handclasp to make a point in a conversation and they'd never have to know anything unusual was going on.

Then again, he seemed to be pretty into being able to taste food in his final scene. Maybe he'll continue to ride herd over/profit off the zombies without actually becoming one himself and taking on all the drawbacks? Major certainly proved that modern weapons more than equalize things in the hands of someone who knows he's dealing with zombies.

I think he was sincere about the drawbacks of being a zombie when he and Liv were commiserating at the morgue. It'd be interesting to see him wrestle with deciding whether to rezombify or not, and if so how to do it "safely".

OTOH, are the skills he picked up as a zombie mastermind transferable to human society? You would think so.

Oh, yeah? I will go ahead and catch up, then.

Just watched the season premier of Defiance. Pretty much all I remember of last season is that I never understood what was really going on, but that doesn't seem to matter for this season. I'm into the new scary aliens that just showed up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, is Defiance back? Yay!

It was two hours last night. I haven't watched it yet.
