Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Why not? Iran and North Korea are both online.

Yeah, because they are fringe to a world economy which developed the protocol. That is why I followed up with thought that there was a different world power that developed it, and they just adapted it. Of course that is assuming some sort of alternative history that actually led to all this, whereas I suspect they are just thinking "Book of kings with tanks and skyscrapers!". Of course bible really is mostly a history of backwoods tribes. Egypt and especially Babylon are where stuff like the internet would be developed.

[Edit] You know, totally biblically appropriate for Babylon to the ancient nation that develops the internet.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oh, neat! Was he in the original? It's been years since I saw it; I only remember Winstone and um wassname, the scary guy.

Ben Kingsley was Don Logan (aka scary guy). McShane was the big boss who sent Logan to recruit Ray Winstone. Also a scary guy, but not in the same way as Kingsley's character.

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

I shouldn't get into an argument about spoilers in Facebook comments with someone I barely know, right? I should just let it go?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Ian McShane was on The Daily Show last night, if folks want to catch a rerun or check online. He mentioned that he just finished a Sexy Beast sequel with Ray Winstone!

Awesome! I love that movie!

Don't fight with the crazy people. Spend your Facebook time on fun and entertaining pursuits.

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

So Silas's son is gay? Or bisexual? He was giving his friend loaded looks while he made out with the nightclub chick, and his father described what he did afterwards as perversion.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yep, it definitely sounds like the tomcatting with the girls is a cover-up for what he does with the guys. And his mom is equally aware of his proclivities, as demonstrated by her "Oops, I can't find my cell phone! Oops, I found it in his car with my assistant's bra! Go ahead, print that!" bit with the press.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was a little confused by that. Did the mother set the whole thing up in order to get rid of the secretary and leak Jack's indiscretion to the press at the same time?

I think so.
