It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Oh, jeez, I can't believe I forgot to post this the other day.

So, I'd been watching Torchwood: CoE on the laptop while I did chores and puttered and whatnot. Occasionally, the Punk would wander by and ask questions, like:

"What's that thing in the box? Why is it squirting goop? Dis-GUS-ting!"

"Who's that man in the jacket? Why is he kissing that other man?"

And I'd answer honestly. You know: "That's an alien named 456 and, yes, the goop is disgusting." "That's Captain Jack Harkness and he's kissing the other man because they love each other" etc. etc.

But I hadn't really clued into how much she picked up until a few days ago. I go downstairs and she's been painting and paint (thankfully, watercolors) are everywhere. I say "Emeline! Didn't I tell you to be careful?! Look at this mess!"

She looks at me with wide eyes, glances around wildly, looks at me again...then goes glassy-eyed, points over my shoulder and says "We are coming! We are coming! We are coming!"

I helped her clean up the paint after I was done being crippled with laughter.

Never let her get her hands on a gas mask.

Or, you know, a camel, if she takes after her mother.

Maybe Emeline should start small, like with an alpaca or guanaco?

I'm just glad she didn't see that part.

Alpacas are much smaller than llamas, small enough that uninformed zoogoers assume they are lively baby llamas.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Maybe I'm an angsty emo junkie, but I'm kinda sad that Jack's guilt over his part in Kim's death had been erased. Or that there isn't more leakage of memories/emotions.

Oh don't you fuck Henry over. Please be more than just forcing Henry to lose Kim again. If you kill the copy, please be awesome in post.
