'Bring On The Night'


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.

What Hub?

Well someone's got to come up with a new filing system!

Oh, I can imagine the issues with her and Ianto in the new space.

Ianto

The pronunciation of his name perplexes me. I hadn't heard it spoken until I watched Day 1, but on reading many MANY posts on LJ, I "heard" it in my head as "Ee-AN-to." Which is *sort of* how it's pronounced, with the Ee and the AN elided together really quickly. But to me it sounds like "Yanto."

(I have the same problem with Iago, which in retrospect should have tipped me off as to the pronunciation of Ianto.)

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

Well someone's got to come up with a new filing system!

And something to file.

I found myself oddly sad that the picture of Tosh and Owen was destroyed. I should have been thinking of the pterodactyl and whatever aliens they might have had in their holding cells.

Aw man, all those poor aliens!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

But to me it sounds like "Yanto."

That's the one. Welsh pronunciation - nearly as fun as Gaelic. (I did my undergrad degree in Cardiff. I had to learn to pronounce enough letter combinations to avoid embarassment at asking directions to impossible-to-say street names. It was getting depressing. Now I can even say "penblywdd hapus" and "pob lwc".)

I got a friend a present with the welsh bad wolf (Blaidd Drwg), and the site emailed me to make sure that there wasn't a typo

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think Welsh is a made-up language. I mean, not enough vowels is one thing (glares at Polish), but none? none of vowels? That's just crazy talk. Someone's idea of a joke.

(It is really pretty, though...if it was even remotely plausible to use or learn I'd like to take a course)

ION: I just watched the Davies "Second Coming" with Christopher Eccleston. Especially in combination with TW:CoE, it's very telling, I think, of the Davies ethos.

“Not dead yet!”

Hawaii ran off with all the vowels.

And true story. In high school, Lewis went on a trip to the UK with his best friend and family. Best Friend's dad, who was a theatre and language uni professor said one morning at breakfast, "Welsh is a dead language."

Problem was, he said it in Wales.

Guys, Grey was in cryo when the hub blew.
