You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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.

Um, there was a glitch right before Zarek and Gaeta were executed: what did Gaeta say?

Promo: I thought all the goo ships were gone.

He said "It stopped," I think (or maybe, "It's gone.") He meant that the pain in his leg had stopped.

Poor Galactica - she's falling apart.

Yeah, I need to see Sam.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

After all this, I'm wicked sad about Gaeta's execution. I suppose that stems from shows that never end keeping characters around for longer than they reasonably should have existed, but I really had hoped there would be more fallout for Gaeta when the reckoning came due. Being bludgeoned to death with his own bloody stump? I can deal. Cold firing squad preceded by one last sad glimpse into Gaeta-as-a-normal-guy-just-wanting-to-be-understood? Fuck, man.

And, HELLO, Samuel Anders, please?!!!! I keeel you! The hell, I need some sign, even if it is still "on death's doorstep". It's like Ted Early getting arrested at the beginning of an episode of Life and then no further acknowledgment, only worse.

Thanks, Jen. That makes sense. (Or the itching. Guess imminent death is a good distraction.)


JenP - Feb 06, 2009 6:05:40 pm PST #6678 of 30001

Yeah, it was affecting at the end. But, I mean, that was kind of expected, I guess. Zarek, though? Pffft. Good riddance. Aw, good-bye Original Apollo, though.

Guess imminent death is a good distraction.

Right?

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

Doesn't it feel like a fire sale on deaths of named characters, though?


JenP - Feb 06, 2009 6:07:45 pm PST #6680 of 30001

It does, though I am thinking this might be it for a while. I don't know why. I just do. Well, maybe because the big coup is over.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, Richard Hatch had a good meaty run.

I should say, I enjoyed Zarek as a character - good riddance within the frame of the story.
