Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

Typo, I'm not consistently watching the Magicians, but I listened to the books and find the series to be of a similar quality.

I had the same sort of 'why do I keep on with this when I don't really like these people?' feeling about it, but was compelled to soldier on.

I think a couple of the character changes, and a significant time shift plot choice were really good decisions. The casting, except for some Hermoine-esque changes in Alice, were shockingly true to my images of the characters.

Not sure if I'll follow through if it comes back.

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

Holy fucking shit, iZombie. Talk about going all out.

All my hats off to Rob Thomas for getting the OTHER Rob Thomas to come on the show *and* become a zombie fodder. He must have been wanting to do that for a long while.

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

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

Darn. I thought I was going to have enough time to finish the last 3 episodes of iZombie before TCG's stepmom showed up, but I was wrong. I am halfway through the last episode and now I have to stop watching.

iZombie! That was awesome! The party scene with Rob Thomas where all hell broke loose was so very Buffy. Did I miss something or do we not know what happened to Peyton?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I finally watched Sleepy Hollow. Not wild about how they wrote Abby out, but I have to respect Nicole Beharie's wish to move on. Corbin's phoenix comment and Abby's dad's makes me think they'll bring in someone new next season, but she'll have some big shoes to fill. And much as I enjoy watching Mison, Beharie was the main reason I watched.

ETA: I hope that Hamilton/Sleepy Hollow crossover fic keeps going. I mean, it's already AU, so it's not like there's a compelling need to include the events of the finalé.

Blaine saved her, and it looks like LOVE TRIANGLE TIME.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oooh, there's one more chapter since the last time I checked!
