Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


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.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Okay, speaking as someone who long ago lost all ability to understand what's going on with Baltar...

You know, I don't even know what my question is, that's how confused I am.

Our wings are not tired.

Baltar has outlived his usefulness. He was good comic relief a long time ago. I can't buy his ability to lead.

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

The Ellen/Caprica melodrama is getting old fast. I liked Ellen better when she was more in control. Frak this!

Indeed quester... and yeah baltar should hang himself with his belt. Autoerotic asphyxiation seems like the way he should go.

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

Oh, god the word erotic associated with Baltar makes me queasy.

Hmmm, don't know what to say about that one. Um, certainly falling apart at the seams. I got that pretty damn clearly.

I feel a bit cheated that she had a miscarriage. They're going to have hard luck breeding if doubting love can end a pregnancy.

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

Definitely not as strong as last week's - I think this last run to the end will probably work better on DVD.

Still, I gotta love Jane E slipping in the Buffy reference with "Liam, it's short for William" there.

They're going to have hard luck breeding if doubting love can end a pregnancy.

I keep expecting the love thing to be explained away, and I'm starting to lose hope. I may just have to roll my eyes and accept that that's really the way it is in this universe.

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

I may just have to roll my eyes and accept that that's really the way it is in this universe.

It doesn't ping me that much, actually. They're biological machines. It strikes me as not implausible that they can, on some level, influence their own biological evolution. My guess is that love is what's drives the subconscious manipulation of their own systems. Or, more prosaically, what drives them to change.

Liked the episode just fine, and indeed, liked Baltar more than I have for a while. Thought the "... and guns!" was priceless.

Very disappointed there was no Helo this episode, as it ruined my back-to-back Helo jokes I was making during the "Dollhouse" commercials.
