Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

'Shindig'


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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And did they ever actually resolve the fact that Clara was going to turn into a eye-booger monster?

I'm going to say, not adequately; but I've seen suggestions that since Rasmussen had been lying about how it was spread anyway, and the carrier was actually an electronic impulse, Clara wasn't really infected in the first place. She got some dust in her eye through the Morpheus machine, but in terms of infection, it was sterile.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Did they actually stop the electronic broadcast. Because if not, the monsters won, and the human race was replace by eye booger monsters from the 30th century onward.

They did not. Which isn't to say that nothing else stopped it, but really, that was just your standard horror movie final "the end... or IS it?" plot twist thingie. Like the undiscovered eggs at the end of the Buffy ep "Teacher's Pet".

But if you would like an extra frisson of dread to go with that, Mark Gatiss has said that Moffat's already talked to him about writing a sequel.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Holy balls, The Flash gave us Gorilla City!

I squealed like Bobby Hill.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

On Earth 2, but still, there's actually a Gorilla City. I am so glad they've been willing to embrace the wacky stuff in the comics more and more.

Don't get me wrong, Batman Begins was a very necessary palate cleanser after the clown show of the Shumacker Batman movies, but I'm so grateful the DC TV division (if sadly not their movie division) has realized that they don't need to keep Nolanizing everything to be successful.

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

Grodd is my least favorite of all of Flash's Rogues Gallery, and yet I was right there with Teppy when they showed the city.

I love Grodd because of the animated JLU.

I just hope this means we'll meet King Solivar someday.

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

I'm catching up on iZombie while trying to get a cranky infant to sleep. So, I missed the reason why Blaine killed his grandfather? Also, are we still supposed to be rooting for Major in some way? Because I was pretty much done with him when he killed the zombie who was begging for his life in the trunk of his car.

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

anyone else disappointed that no one, in either episode, came out with the line "Let Zygons be Zygons"?

Now I am.

This is a thing of beauty!

Yes.

I fell too far behind in here to adequately comment on everythi. I'm sure the salient points will come up again.
