'Serenity'


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.

Sad, but not unexpected. I am in the 'if I like it, it won't last' club.

I do hope the actors get more opportunities.

Thomas Dekker, as much as people didn't like the John character, really is an actor. Have you seen him in interviews? That voice! High-pitched and anxious...not John at all.

And I really did love BAG's work. Reminds me of how Patrick Dempsey and John Cryer were relegated to teen idol status in the 80's and have now made good. Kudos.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Just seen first writer response. They're moving to Fringe as they just landed a job on it. FOX and Warners kept them completely in the dark, they read it on Variety. Josh says it's not being shopped to other networks.

I think Summer may be doing a Joss project shortly. Thomas is movie'ing. And gettin' naked. [link]

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

They're moving to Fringe as they just landed a job on it.

Well, that's good that they got gigs! And on a show I already watch and that's been improving, which will only be improved more by their presence.

FOX and Warners kept them completely in the dark, they read it on Variety.

Yeah, that's fucking lame.

I saw that possibly drunken thank-you to the fans he posted to Youtube and my immediate thought was "If his manager was so paranoid about his image back when he was on Heroes, she's going to need a defibrillator when she sees this!"

I thought towards the end of the season they started showing John being JOHN CONNOR. It made for a nice arc from emo boy to resistance leader.

I agree. I was frustrated at how long it took to get any growth for his character, but I really liked where they were going towards the end.

Oh gosh, me too.

I thought they did a great, if laborious, job developing that character.

I can chalk it up to Teen Hormone Syndrome, and it doesn't bother me at all. Granted, it was about as much fun as living with a teenager with THS, but there were distractions that were worth the pain.

That is exactly the video I saw that made me go, whoa. He was sweet and gracious, but that voice!
