We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Willow ,'Showtime'


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.

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

Anybody have an line on streaming Viva Blackpool?

I've got it sitting on my computer waiting to watch after Coupling. I think I got it from mininova or ishount.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Yeah, PC - I think they sold that whole 'fire and ice' thing in Family of Blood, partly because of the actor and partly because of the context. It worked. But Martha Jones's leaden fire metaphor, coming as it did straight after telling Donna that her (Martha's) mother, her father and her brother and sister had been tortured for a year because of the Doctor - I think that was lazy writing. That exchange should have been moving, not trite.

Dwelling on that point does get cheesy, but it is nice to be reminded of that fact from time to time.

See, I think that they're in danger of overdoing the whole Emo!Doctor thing at times, but on the whole I'm good with it. Still - showing's better than telling.

Fay, did you catch any of TomW's LOLWho's on LJ? I'm guessing not, since you may not be up to that point in the series. I don't have the link, but they were HILARIOUS on the subject of the Emo!Doctor.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And didn't you notice that the nuclear explosion was PURPLE? I don't think it was just a nuclear explostion. There was more to it.

I read that as "nuclear explosition".

Art Crawl!!!

Doesn't help that I mispelled. (Explosion. Explosion. Heh, sometimes word just don't look right.)

Maybe it needs to be all caps

EXPLOSION

or bold.

Explosion

or red and bold and all caps, and bigger.

EXPLOSION!

No, that's not it.

BOOM!

Better.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

About the Degree sponsorship in Eureka, that does not bother me so much as that corporate axewoman herself. So maybe it isn't as seamless as feeding E.T. some candies that just happen to be the amazing new Reece's Pieces, but I can kinda see it.

The meta of people gathered around to watch Lab 27 was cute, particularly as they appeared to be watching on the same model 'puter as I'm typing on now. I am going to assume that they aren't using the Leopard operating system - probably instead it's Mac's Eureka-special Sabretooth.

I'm really glad Henry is back. I missed him.

You know what else I miss? I miss CFerg coming around to comment on our comments.

Explosition is what Dr. Samantha Carter does before she gets more comfortable with guns. Nuclear explosition is what Major Carter did before they let her start playing around with Naquadria.

Explosition is what they had at the start of Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, with one character informing another character of things he clearly should know, even if we didn't. I swear, it couldn't have been any MORE "As you know, Bob" without actually having had the words "As", 'You", "Know" and "Bob" at the front of it. (And it's not like they didn't have a small child around who could reasonably have asked "So what is it you guys do?" and been told! No, no, he had to tell his employer what they do! Ack! Mind you, props for making it clear from the get go precisely how astoundingly bad the movie was going to be.)

Brendan Fraser was on screen. Who cares what he was saying?
