Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
FWIW, I've been known to pause and slo-mo my way through the opening blipvertsflashes, because they're carefully chosen by the producers so they run out of context or just give you a quick and perhaps wrong idea of what is coming.
Totally different when it's stupid SciFi Channel spoiling next week.
Oh, I love the Poundry Drums of Spoilery Doom. They promised excitement, and the episode delivered.
Mo Ryan interviews Mark Verheiden and then gives her impression of "The Oath."
Also - what if Ellen isn't the fifth?
And the fifth, still in shadow, will claw toward the light, hungering for redemption that will only come in the howl of terrible suffering.
It was pointed out on TWOP that this could be a good description of Gaeta.
I strongly suspect Ellen isn't the Fifth. It's not enough of a surprise, given that she's already dead. Also, the only one to whom she's important is Tigh, and there's a very good chance he's dead.
Still and all, it does fit an apparent tendency for even unaware Cylons to seek each other out - Boomer and Tyrol, Anders and whateverthehell Starbuck is, Tigh and Ellen.
But I agree, I don't see how you bring Ellen back with no Tigh around and have it mean anything. And we've already seen that Tigh has episodes where he has trouble distinguishing between Ellen and Six.
Maybe Ellen's a Six.
No, this is not an elegant theory.
That line about clawing reminds me of Yeats "Slouching Toward Bethlehem".
Also, who the heck is Narcho? I keep picturing one of the PCH gang from Veronica Mars (was his name Nardo?) but I know that isn't it. I don't think I have watched the episodes and talked about them enough to keep track of the minor characters.

Chardo.
I don't think I have watched the episodes and talked about them enough to keep track of the minor characters.
Me neither.
I dunno--I think having anyone other than Ellen be the fifth is overthinking it. BSG doesn't lie, does it? I mean, it doesn't have a history of presenting information like that and changing it later.
I type that and then think of them retconning Nicky's parentage, but you know what I mean--a deliberate misdirect of the facts.
