Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'


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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hey, at least I don't watch Dancing with the Stars that ALSO airs at the same time. I know some Buffistas love that show.

I had to give up on HIMYM. I like it a lot, but it's too much to be thinking about three shows at the same time, let alone two, even to try to catch up on ahem-delay. Barney & Co will have to wait until the DVDs come out.

What with network cancelling things (PD *sob*) and some shows sucking donkey bollocks (Heroes), I'm now down to about one hour of TV a night, with plan to catch up on time-conlficty shows somewhere down the line (Chuck, SPN, Dexter). Much more manageable than when I was trying to watch gazillion things at the same time this time last season. Of course, there are stuff like British TV, but DW is on hiatus, so it's now mostly occasional period dramas and oh yeah, Spooks. I have to catch up on that.

Seriously, TV fandom is like a job, y'all.

That's a shame because last night was hi-larious. Season 1 hilarious.

And the sad thing is, you just know that some guy (or guys) is going to try naked man. Well, hope that you are not the third of 3. (although I think that Lily's shouldn't count)

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

Thanks for the Spooks reminder, Vonnie. I've fallen a few episodes behind. There's a show with no fear.

boo! bastards stopped it midseason on BBCA. Although I have to say that I liked the first team sooooo much better.

Not me. Tom, or whatever his name was, was the dumbest spy ever.

I'm still stuck in the middle of S6 (during Adam's emo phase) and I want to rush rush rush to S7 because there have been a lot of behind-the-cut-tag flailing. Not to mention the .... shit, I can't even say anything vague about anything, since this is the "oh, yeah, it'd do that. It's totally the do-that show" and everything is a spoiler landmine. I can't believe they are more than half way into season 7! Maaaan.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Not me. Tom, or whatever his name was, was the dumbest spy ever.

See, for me, it was All. About. Tom. It was the Tom show. He was the emotional heart for me, he was the vantage point of "what does this crazy spy-business do to our humanity?". I thought they were all bumbling idjits in those first few seasons. And then the new crew came in all cold and callous and Danny and Matthew MacFadyen's wife were phased out and I had to bail. I keep trying to watch it all and keep failing because of the no-more-Tom roadblock I keep hitting. If I push past that, is there some heart and soul that comes back?
