You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Willow ,'Sleeper'


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.

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

Where have I seen the FBI agent that got closed up before?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So Fringe has been getting really cool lately. Multiverse!

And Elder Bishop wrote the manifesto, it seems! No wonder Jones so wanted to meet him.

Art Crawl!!!

ita - didn't notice the FBI agent before he "got closed up." (Ick.)

I can't believe no more Fringe 'til April. Is that because they moved up Sweeps? Or is it somehow IDOL related?

BSG: What was Zarek and Gaeta's plan? I mean, what they heck were they going to do that Roslin and Adama weren't doing? It's not like they could settle on Earth.

Was Gaeta just reacting suicidally in a BIG way - i.e., if they get attacked they all die? And Zarek - he was just up for a power grab.

It's just nutty.

I wonder if other ships in the fleet are having similar hull problems to Galactica's. Admittedly they've done less fighting and jumping into and out of atmo - but most of them probably weren't actually meant for this sort of long term journey.

Galactica is really old - so I can see how that ship would be experiencing problems. It was supposed to be decommissioned like 3 years ago.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm enjoying Fringe a lot. It has a balance of story of the week and overall arc that suits my viewing pleasure. Sad to say that I rarely like Olivia, but my deep love for Dr. Bishop balances that.

sumi, I think for Zarek it was just a power thing always, but for Gaeta the Cylon acceptance was totally unacceptable. He may not have thought that Zarek would do a better job than Roslin, but he wouldn't let Cylons be in control and that was enough.

Also, I hope BSG has a big stock of duct tape around.

Laura is me. And I love the Bishop/Peter relationship.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Was Gaeta just reacting suicidally in a BIG way - i.e., if they get attacked they all die? And Zarek - he was just up for a power grab.

Alas, the "what do we do next" question has been the downfall of many an ill-conceived revolution.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I mean, what they heck were they going to do that Roslin and Adama weren't doing?

Kill all the rebel Cylons including the Final Four in the fleet. After that...I'm not sure they had much of a plan.

Victor is wise. They just bungled it all so badly. Well, Gaeta did. Zarek clearly had no problem dispatching problem people post haste. Note to self: next coup, don't be a Gaeta.
