My tumblr feed was MUCH more flaily about the scene where he rescued them because he lifted her out of the sealed box and her feet were dangling and that has been written in fics a ton. Ppl are obsessed with the height difference.
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.
Doctor Who: I've been watching a First Doctor adventure, The Gunfighters. (They head back to Tombstone shortly before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the Doctor gets mistaken for Doc Holliday.) That leaves just one classic adventure I've never watched (leaving aside missing adventures). And of all those adventures, there have been a number I've not much enjoyed, or even actively disliked; but the Gunfighters is quite possibly the only one so far to have given me the screaming irrits. They keep stopping the action every three or four minutes for this musical voice-over, some appalling western tune they wrote specifically for the episode. Various lyric snippets, all of them completely annoying, and repeated multiple times during the adventure. Oh, and in case you weren't utterly sick of it on its own merits, the Doctor's companion gets to sing it repeatedly at the end of episode one. At gunpoint; I felt rather envious of him, his excuse for singing it was far better than mine for listening.
I would rather sit through a marathon of Little Drummer Boy, Twelve Days Of Christmas and It's A Small World After All than listen to the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon ever again.
Never gonna give you up, bt.
Wow.
Just caught up on Arrow. One thing I laughed and laughed at (Paraphrased)
'We have only one play'
"Its the last resort'
'We have no choice. We have to tell the TRUTH'
Yes, I can see how that would be a last resort for team Arrow.
I dunno, I keep waiting for the island to have a damned point this season.
OMGWTF POLAR BEAR!
Grimm:
Yeah, I thought as much.
I didn't see that coming at all.
Spoiler fonted comments below, though does not officially need spoiler fonting.
Body taken away after she is shot by darts? Always assumed she was alive. I think, BTW, that Juliet being gone showed how much I underestimated the part she played on the show. I don't know how define her role (in literary as opposed to acting terms) but the with her gone, the cringe factor went waay up.
Supergirl:
Gah! The tech stuff was hurting my brain this episode. If Dirk Dastardly was foolishly using his CatCo email account to plot his takeover why didn't Winn just pull his email off the server instead of putting Jimmy through the pointless spy shenanigans?
Also, why would you print off reams and reams of Cat's emails to search for problematic ones instead of just sorting through them electronically?
I'm used to hand-waving hacking and computer repair stuff in TV and movies but this just bugged me. (Speaking of bugs, I didn't get a clear enough view of the innards of Dirk's "computer" to tell if he actually had an all-in-one or if Jimmy was only bugging his monitor. And did they go back and recover their bug after they got their evidence? If not, the authorities just seized it along with Dirk's electronic devices.)
Supergirl
Ha, yeah, the tech stuff was kind of a mess for the reasons you said, but whatever, because this show is great and Melissa Benoist is fantastic and CAT FUCKING GRANT figured shit out and there is lots of flying around and shooting lasers and superpeople fight without destroying half the city and Supergirl actually bothers to save civilians and I want a new episode next week.
