If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Buffy ,'Selfless'


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"

Yep -- I faded before the halfway point with little regret.

(Listen, if a vent that is situated that low starts spewing gas, I immediately get two of the people in the room to take off their jackets and manually jam them up against it to hold back the spewing to buy us time.)

Our wings are not tired.

Yep -- I faded before the halfway point with little regret.

Same here, but the clip part made me not even feel bad about it at all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm twenty minutes into last night's SGA. I don't think they intended it to be quite this funny.

Art Crawl!!!

Me too.

I mean that I faded when I realized it was a clip show.

It's hysterical.

"You let Michael loose in the galaxy!"

"Well, yeah, but we're chasing him! And now he's dead! Probably!"

"You let Michael loose in the galaxy!"

"Well, yeah, but we're chasing him! And now he's dead! Probably!"

Especially in light of the content's of in-two-week's preview.

"You collaborate with the Wraith."

"Only a little!"

"And our fingers were crossed!"

"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

Any halfway intelligent person could have played that so much better for Atlantis' side. Like anyone outside Atlantis' command structure would know that they're the ones who reactivated the Replicators, or that Michael was an intentional experiment gone wrong. What, are either of them supposed to havebeen chatting with villagers over coffee?

How about "those mysterious intelligent machines came after us first, boiled the ocean of our planet. And when we escaped, they went on a rampage destroying the rest of the galaxy, human and Wraith alike. We finally had to work with the Wraith and the Travelers to end the bloodbath and prevent every human world from being wiped out." Or "we invented a virus that turns the Wraith into amnesiac humans, and wiped out a hive with it. But somehow one Wraith escaped, and decided to avenge himself on us by poisoning worlds all over with the Hoffan drug. We've been running our medical personnel ragged trying to help affected communities, and pursued the responsible party to his death."

Obviously, their first mistake was letting John argue the case. I imagine Teyla, Ronon, and Rodney were sitting in the cell arguing about exactly how doomed they were.
