Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Oz ,'Beneath You'


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.

I won't be at ComicCon either.

Yay new Farscape dvds!

I've never been to ComicCon, and likely never will be. Only significant face time with friends can tempt me to Southern California. Much as I love Ben and Claudia, watching them onstage for an hour from 100 feet away amid a sea of unwashed fandom just isn't going to cut it.

Having spent a lot of time both at various other cons and in comic shops, I can assure you that you'll be in the minority.

Does it compete with Day 5 of a Gaming Con?

I've probably got Comic Con in my future-- Abby's a budding comics artist and loves manga and anime and cartoons, so to her, Comic Con sounds like Mecca.

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

I love Comic-Con and am irritated that it always seems to fall on a weekend I've planned to be in Canada.

Does it compete with Day 5 of a Gaming Con?

I'm not sure that the locker room of the losing team of a Super Bowl could compete.

I dunno... Day 5 of a gaming con gets pretty ripe what with the boys who didn't bother booking a hotel room since their plans are to play nonstop, fueled by beef jerky, cheetos, and Mountain Dew Code Red until they feel the need to collapse, at which time they will cop 2 hours on the convention lobby floor or be carried out by the EMTs. Ah GenCon, how I don't miss you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Barb, DragonCon is a lot closer to you guys and has a ton of comics content.
