This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Mal ,'Objects In Space'


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.

Fringe: Did you guys think that Bishop, Jr. was Bishop, Sr's first experience in curing the melting virus thingy?

"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

Note to Sheriff Carter -- if you have a choice of sending your daughter to 3 days of relatively SAFE yoga or have her hang around the ultra-dangerous town, think carefully about your options, 'K?

Oh Lord, that's a bigger issue for suspension of disbelief than all the super-science. Eureka's a town of about 3,000 people, of whom at least 30 to 40 get disintegrated, melted, time displaced, or otherwise killed every year—often right before the sheriff's eyes. The only place less safe that Carter could have chosen to raise his daughter got swallowed by a giant sinkhole in 2003.

I'm thinking Joss-verse L.A. probably beats them both at this point.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Fringe: So, is everyone in love with Olivia or something?

The interrrogation with scene with Peter smashing the guys hands with the coffee cup was awesome --"I'm gonna count to one!"-- but there was a shitload of emotion invested in those scenes that seemed above "someone who is important to someone I barely know is dying".

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

And interestingly enough, that scene was not in the leaked pilot.

(The only other new thing I noticed was the last few seconds; the leaked pilot ends with "Question him.")

Also, I could swear the helicopters were flying over the Q in IRAQ in the leaked pilot as opposed to the B in BAGHDAD in the aired pilot. But it's possible I mistook the B for a Q before.

And interestingly enough, that scene was not in the leaked pilot.

I almost asked if that was a new scene, but there was a chance that I had gone off to do something else and hadn't hit Pause.

Although I've never seen more than two minutes of Dawson's Creek, I have a deep-seated loathing for it's name and any actor that came out of it, and so I am fighting my crush on Joshua Jackson. And then SOMEONE has to go and say "George Clooney" and made it that much more difficult.

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

Oh, Pacey was the only reason I got sucked into Dawson's Creek. I washed my hands of it utterly when we were asked to believe that Pacey and Joey Potter, having finally got together and gone off to (literally!) sail romantically off into the sunset for a whole summer, had still not shagged.

For fuck's sakes. That whole Dawson-and-Joey2gethah4evah thing was all well and good coming from Dawson or Joey (dull, but, fine, teenagers)...but all the adults in town seemed to agree with them in their assessment! Craziness!

(But, oh, how I loved Spike watching the show: "Pacey, you blind fool, can't you see she'll never love you!*" Oh, Jossverse, how I love thee!)

*no time to check the quotation for accuracy, but I feel sure that better Buffistas than I will recall it perfectly

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

Don't fight the crush, Juliebird. It's well worthy.
