Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Buffy ,'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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Agreed on Glau's performance, which involved at least five different personas in the story by my count -- original Allison, amnesiac Cameron-as-"Allison", untemplated robo-Cameron, robo-Cameron freshly templated on Allison, and present-day malfunctioning Cameron.

Holy Sybil, Batman!

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

Raq, you have slain me! I am utterly vanquished! BLESS is too small a word! He outwoobies Zuko!

I think you should retaliate by drinking lots of tea, and trying to tempt him to play obscure boardgames. Yes.

Further to the Avatar love, I must add - tempering my gushing just a tad - that I got the impression that the quality of the artwork changed slightly in the final season. I don't think it's spoilery to say (and it's not a dramatic shift - just if you're mainlining them it might strike you) that they slightly cranked up the manga (not so much anime, but manga) elements. And I found that a little jarring, stylistically.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Am I the only one who dropped Sarah Connor in favor of Chuck? Last night's episode was solid, if more than a little heavy on the exposition. AB was awesome, and they seem to have gotten an upgrade on their fight choreography.

Oh, damn, I forgot Chuck is up against that. I'll have to DL so my roommate can see it....

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I watched Chuck last week on hulu, which i'll probably continue to do because there's just too much on at 7 pm on monday nights.

The Sarah Jane Adventures series 2 started airing yesterday in the UK.

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

Tom, I'm not dropping SCC, but I loved Chuck. Like tiggy, I watched it on Hulu. Are they going to have it up every week?

I've been watching both but I think one of them is about to go. And not the one with Adam Baldwin.

Art Crawl!!!

I actually watched Chuck On Demand on Sunday. And Life and last week's SCC on a friend's dvr. And let me tell you - SCC doesn't compare well to Chuck and Life. And I don't think that Shirley Manson is a good enough actor to handle the crappy writing she got - in last week's scene.

But Summer Glau rocked this week. That was very interesting. I (somehow) hadn't thought of there being a human being who Cameron was replacing. Very interesting.

Loved Chuck too - so many little things that were fun.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. I think SCC is a much better show than Chuck. Chuck has lost most of whatever charm it had for me.
