To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I loved The Naked Time. I'm still hanging onto it on my TiVo, wondering if I should buy it in iTunes. So far my keepers include The Menagerie, The Naked Time, and that one with the cloud people.

It's interesting--they could be complex, but man, they could be so damned hamfisted and internally contradictory.

At first I thought she was storing flesh to repair herself--is she going to keep that cut forever?

I thought that she was just removing it to get to the endoskeleton.

My favorite was from Star Trek 3 when they informed Dr. McCoy he was suffering after-effects from a mindmeld and he exclaimed, "That green-blooded sonofabitch! It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost!"

I thought she kept the hard-drive.

I think my favorite Trek:TOS is Mirror, Mirror. DS9 only increased my irrational love of the mirror verse.

Completely rational! I share it, too.

Nana Visitor totally rocked the house as the Intendant. Sooooo deliciously evil.

She has the hard drive/brain, metal, and a whole lot of skin in bags.

As for TOS, what the hell is a yeoman when it's at home? I remember Kirk bitching about getting a female one, and in whatever was this morning's episode he puts his arm around her as they're about to go into an exchange of phaser fire. Totally inappropriate unless I get to see him do that to Spock too.

"Inappropriate" has a picture of Kirk next to it in the dictionary.

From wikipedia about "yeoman":

In the Royal Navy and the US Navy, a petty officer with usually clerical duties.

Oh, did she ever. I just adored the fact that mirror verse!Kira was essentially in love with her other self.
