Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

'Dirty Girls'


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.

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

Baseball.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The use of Rush's Tom Sawyer was brilliant.

Seconded. Perfect music for an "action" sequence. Although it was giving me flashbacks to high school (though Tempest was my game, not Missile Command).

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

Enormous honking Doctor Who casting spoiler news.

(I don't think there's any likely way even the most hardened spoilerphobes are going to miss this one, but I'm still being chary.)

I agree, Fay. I'd like to discuss this, here for preference.

What's the consensus?

ETA: very nice (SPOILERY!) interview here:

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'll whitefont just in case even mentioning this much is spoilery, but IMO, this falls squarely under the Summer Casting Rules and is not technically a spoiler.

PD: I can't believe some of the lines that they got past S&P this week. Seriously.

Also, when you're doing the clicker training thing - you click after the trainee has completed the task and then you treat.

So - command, task completed, click, treat.

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

PD: I can't believe some of the lines that they got past S&P this week. Seriously.
