Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.

'Trash'

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Interestingly, I'm seeing writers and creators of unrelated shows being pretty defensive on social media. I guess they worry that they're gonna get crap from fandom any time they do anything to a beloved character. And I understand that, and the whole weird interaction between shows and writers and fandoms.

But seriously, do the fucking math. Like that thing that went around Tumblr recently listing dead lesbian or bisexual characters and their causes of death.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yeah, I think I need to step back a bit. Stay out of this thread a few days, try to stay off Tumblr and Twitter awhile too. At this point it's like poking at a scab that's not even close enough to healed to bear touching.

Eventually I'll be able to do a cool, measured analysis of how the show progressively failed its initial premise and promise, with lessons on what I and other writers should NOT do to our stories and characters. Right now it's all much too raw.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

apparently Vikings killed 2 female characters this week and so did Empire, so it was a rough week on that front.

Oh no, did Vikings kill Lagertha?

Oh, good. I mean, not good they're killing off women, but she's my favorite character. I haven't seen any of this season yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Deleting SH from the DVR. Will pretend everything after S1 doesn't exist.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My viewing of SH has been spotty and I thought that was the reason that whole last episode kind of came out of left field. I figure either they'll slot Jenny into Abbie's place or (heaven help us) Busty.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

or (heaven help us) Busty.

How much did I miss? Did the show bring Betsy Ross to the present?

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

Yup. She's been stuck in the place Abby was stuck at.
