'Sleeper'


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.

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

I'm ridiculously excited for tonight's Sleepy Hollow premiere.

OMFG why am I still at work.

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

Doctor Who spinoff, Class, to be written by Patrick Ness!

I haven't actually read Ness but his books have come highly recommended. And I really liked the Coal Hill School kids, so I hope they get those actors back. This could be really fun.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm ridiculously excited for tonight's Sleepy Hollow premiere.

Me too! Just bummed that because of Stupid Time Zones, I have to go offline for the next three hours so I can watch it fresh. (Not exactly unspoiled, since I'm so deep into the fandom on Tumblr, but it's one thing to view all the clips and read the spoilery speculation, another to read everyone's watch-and-post.)

Limitless proved to be much much better than I expected. Has sci-fi premise, and also uses near-future breathroughs orthagonal to main premise as plot points but overall procedural elements are stronger and overall feel of show is more mystery-suspense than sci-fi. So an argument could be made for discussion either boxed set or procedurals. Will X-post rec in both places and in Bureaucracy so that where it goes can be decided.

Note: discussion as to where this should be discussed probably best Bureaucracy, though it strikes me as a close enough call that probably the first stompy that encounters the post in Bureaucracy might want to arbitrarily decide.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sleepy Hollow felt uneven, but I was good with it. I love Crane's haircut (I know it's because the wig was hell on Tom Mison, but I still love it). Love him shit-talking Benjamin Franklin every chance he gets. Loved him fixing the Colonial Times' cashier's hat ("You're not a pirate!").

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Sleepy Hollow - Just me, or does everyone else see C. Thomas Howell and reflexively assume he's the bad guy any more?

Love him shit-talking Benjamin Franklin every chance he gets. Loved him fixing the Colonial Times' cashier's hat ("You're not a pirate!").

Yes and yes.

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

I thought Sleepy Hollow was okay, but I feel like they just replaced Katrina with Katrina 2.0.

Not just you, Epic. I was sure he'd turn out to be a minion of the new Big Bad right up to the moment he bought it.
