Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

Thrive to spite them

It was recommended to me and I started the first episode, found a description on Wikipedia and was like HELL NO!!

But I watched the second one and liked it. While it had some disturbing elements it was no where close to the first episode. I haven't watched any of the others.

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

I am exceedingly fond of The Toast's take on Black Mirror. (I had "what if phones, but too much" as my tagline for a while.)

Personally, I thought each individual episode was excellent (mostly), but I started to roll my eyes at the overall themes pretty quickly. You know how it would be a good idea for someone to pull the Wachowski siblings aside and reassure them that, probably, the future of humanity won't be as a source of fuel/food for our inevitable overlords? I want to have a similar conversation with the Black Mirror producers, who seem to be deeply concerned that in the future, violent pornography will not only be everywhere, it will be mandatory.

I just worked up the courage to watch the second episode of "Black Mirror", I'm starting to lean toward the idea that this series might just be brilliant. (Very, very dark, but I seriously can't look away!)

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

I loooooove Black Mirror and tell people to watch it all the time. I was even on a podcast.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You think if I didn't see the first two Sharknados I'll be able to follow the third one?
