TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know, I found Riley most interesting when he was just being Dr. Walsh's grad assistant and the nice prospective boyfriend. It was all the supposedly interesting and dark stuff that got added on later that bored me to tears.

Ward's sort of the opposite, only popping out of the background when actively being evil and dangerous.

I'm wondering what he knows about Skye's father, since he didn't seem to know it at the end of last season--or did he!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Maybe the thrashing May gave him jogged his memory, Fezzik-style.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wow, I did not expect the Simmons reveal (or not!Simmons reveal).

Dang, I really love Tripp.

Hate Skye's bangs.

I always love an episode with General Talbot, because it allows me to make Tom of Finland jokes. What a magnificent mustache!

And FUCK YES REED DIAMOND.

Oh, and I don't think Agent Xena is dead. The whole deal with the obelisk is that it "defeats death" or some equally dramatic phrase. She'll be back.

(Seriously, though, she had the worst day ever. Mystical obelisk destroys your hand and tries to kill you, your colleague cuts your hand off with a hunting knife in the back of a moving vehicle, AND THEN Absorbing Man shows up, turns to asphalt, and flips your SUV. Agent Xena CANNOT catch a damn break.)

Yeah, that'd be too easy to kill her now. I figured Creel would pick up the obelisk by Agent Xena's hand.

I did, too! I didn't count on his self-galvanizing hand.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm interested to find out if he can turn into obelisk-stuff faster than it kills him. Or whatever it does that killing is maybe a side-effect of. Gotta be tempting for someone who enjoys having new materials to become.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think a car hitting an asphalt lump would still flip but seriously deform the lump. (Asphalt is not all that stiff and unyielding, hence the number of potholes, broken off bits and whatnot.) Still, you work with the materials at hand, so to speak.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm willing to hand-wave that as "this makes for a cool visual." I figure he easily could have been carrying a tire iron or whatever and absorbed that for the same effect.
