Time to slay. Vampires of the world beware!

Buffybot ,'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.

I liked the parallel here between Cameron and Sarah: both of them have the opportunity to help someone for no benefit to themselves, and Cameron fails that test. And yet, dancing.

Yep. Who said it above? I'm joining in on thinking that the way they're going to prevent Skynet is to humanize Cameron. After her Velveteen Rabbit moment, though, where will they take the story?

Hey, look! A bandwagon! Hope I'm not late.

Just started watching Torchwood (Comcast On Demand has all five eps thus far. Yay On Demand!)

I am very impressed with this show. There's a lot that British TV seems to handle so much more elegantly than American TV ever would, and it's not bad s/f to boot.

Could go on and on 'bout specific eps, but I'd probably be repeating 500 posts worth of stuff. So...I won't.

Wish I could see the first season, though.

It's available on DVD, and iffen you can't go through Netflix/whatever, I have VHS tapes if you want to borrow them.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I live in fear that RTD's Joss fanboy-ness will result in a musical episode of Doctor Who at some point.

Replace "fear" with "hope" and Matt is me!

Oh look, turns out Dana is me instead.

Ah, magnetic media! How quaint.

Seriously, thanks for the offer, but when our last VCR died we went all DVD. We no longer have the ability to play tapes.

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

Actually, since we're off schedule with the UK airings, the conversations a bit disjointed, so I'd personally LOVE IT if someone w/could spark some discussion to what's aired in the US.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

Anyone heard anything regarding production for Eureka?

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

Last I heard there was no set date for going back. At least 2 or so months out, though.

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

Are people really getting worked up over time paradoxes?

Have you met us?

Hee!

But I was surprised when memfault mentioned that people got cranky about the menstrual crank disparity with Buffy continuity. I mean, 'kay, that would have been an awesome thing to retain - but it's not something I'd really expect of US telly. Plus - hello, whole different actress. I don't know - I kind of think that when you're looking at a different cast, it's already a different 'verse.

However, I do entirely appreciate that mileage varies on this one.

Also? I wouldn't put it past Rusty to produce an all-singing Doctor Who or Torchwood - probably as a Comic Relief special.

Yeah. We used to get that pretty randomly at the Bronze. I just mentioned it as an example because I found it so out of the blue every time someone asked about it, and yet? They did.

I'm pretty forgiving of a lot of things in movies to TV adaptations. But the Terminator movies are just so legendary that I have issues with tinkering with the dates set in the movies -- which, honestly, cover just what? Four days in Sarah Connor's life? It can't be that hard to skew closely to them.
