Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Mal ,'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.

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.

I thought it was interesting that Astra is the general, but none of the soldiers obeyed her order to stand down until her husband repeated it. Was that a handwave for narrative tension, or does she not control her people?

That struck me as odd as well.

ION, I had only the mildest interest in the Shannara TV series (never read the books) but it appears the male lead is played by the smarmy blond DJ/assassin from Arrow, which dropped my interest to zero. That and all the promo pics look terrible.

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

I watched the Shannara pilot out of loyalty to my 11 year-old self. It was pretty terrible.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Fortunately my 11 year-old self thought the first Shannara book was a cheap Tolkein ripoff, so I feel no urge to see how badly the SciFi Network can execute the story.

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

OK, I was kind of ambivalent about the X-files reboot or whatever it is but I just saw an ad and now I am full of squee!

I never saw the movie, do I need to hurry up and see the movie?

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

No, it was boring and terrible.

(I presume you mean the second one. The first one was good!)

Do I? I don't remember either one, but that doesn't mean anything.

You probably don't need to watch them, but Fight the Future is the good one and I Want to Believe is the bad one.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The second one is amazingly terrible, like, mind-bogglingly bad. The characterizations are all whack and the plot is frankly offensive as fuck. OK, I think it had a couple of nice Skinner moments (I love Skinner.)

I am tentatively psyched about the new series, but with apprehension. The X-Files is the quintessential Bad Ex-Boyfriend fandom.

Hey. New board.

Okay my brain read all of that as X Men at first and I was all "P-C hated Days of Future Past???" But all is fine.
