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.

Loved Lee's reaction to his dad macking on the President (and how glad am I that his hair wasn't all foofy for this ep! It was getting rather big for a while there, and having that coupled with an action sequence would have been beyond ridiculous).

So, did I miss something, where did Starbuck's new purpose in life come from? Or, if not purpose, then feeling great about herself.

I think just the action of the day - nothing like attempting to quash a rebellion to put a little spring in your step.

I agree - Starbuck thrives on action.

ION, read this over at TWOP:

"Thursday, February 5 at 4:00pm, a 60 second trailer of Torchwood’s highly anticipated third season, Torchwood: Children of Earth, will be available to U.S. media outlets by BBC AMERICA."

I assume that is 4 pm Eastern.

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

Oooh. I want trailer.

So Gaeta kinds sucks at revolutioning. Adama and Roslin should not still be alive in a sensible revolution.

More from the BBCA news release:

The trailer will be released in the UK simultaneously, uniting fans across the pond for a sneak preview of the brand new season of the award winning drama. Fans attending New York ComicCon will see the new trailer on a jumbotron and monitors throughout the Javits Center.

Why was no one "taking care" of Roslin? It wasn't a secret where she was staying, so why not have a crew arresting her?

I can't believe that they just left Roslin in Adama's quarters. Surely, they would, at least, have taken her to the brig.

I don't think the bad guys knew where she was. As for that Torchwood stuff--so they'll air the promo then? I need to know where to be!

I assume they'll air it. I hope so.

And then, I hope, it will appear in places like ScifiWire, youtube, spoilertv etc. shortly thereafter.

Since he mentioned a pen, I assumed that the Gaeta/Baltar secret was about when Baltar was forced to sign the execution order back on New Caprica and Gaeta lied about.

ETA: At least I hope so. I don't want to have to watch webisodes to follow major plot points.
