Oz ,'Him'

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

But The Prisoner was, so that's still not narrow enough.

Or, sorry, is that your point? I've had 4 hours sleep so reading through here I feel like the conversation is happening through the semantic equivalent of a fisheye lens.

the only positive alien in a mainstream context I can think of prior was Michael Rennie

Well, there was this dude who was rocketed from a dying planet...

Heh. I was so focused on movies, I didn't even think of that (and of course, there were movies, TV, etc. for Supes).

Mainly though, I was thinking that many of the tropes in TDtESS were similar to those of movies where aliens = evil du jour, but then it turned out to be an optimistic film.

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

Or, sorry, is that your point

No, The Prisoner is still a good counter. I'm not sure I actually had a point...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Warehouse 13: Nope, the Kodak moment was still beyond the bounds of my weirdness-acceptance, the Lewis Carroll mirror only slightly less so.

Also, in finally watching the last episode, I saw Myka in profile, noted the overbite, and realized: aahhh! she's Bianca from Dresden Files! OK, everyone else knew that, but still. She's insanely gorgeous. I can't believe I didn't recognize her from the beginning.

I missed this! Thanks for posting that.

High fives sj.

Sadly, it looks like they are doing a "temporary derangement" thing with her. DAMMIT TINO!!!!

Yeah, it looks like they are faking that one though. Dammit!

We already know she's fantasized (or, well, dreamt) about him! Please kick Poochie to the curb. Seriously!!!
