Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

Film and TV discussion

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Some other thoughts about Doctor Who this week. These are not complaints so much as maybe lost opportunities:

  • It didn't really feel that much like a race, as everyone was travelling together. They could've kept the cast split into two groups for longer and have them actually compete. (Plus, more opportunity for Yaz to get some lines.)
  • Some ideas in there that could have been developed further. (e.g. the TARDIS as a monument; the microbes in the water, especially on a desert planet; if this is a regular race, is there an audience?)
  • And of course the big one: they really should have titled this ep "Doctor Who and the Bedsheets of Death".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ooh, I like that one. Maybe for the season finale we'll get "Doctor Who and the Stroppy Baggage".

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

Well that was some white savior bullshit.

Not cool, Chibnall.

Ugh, people on Twitter are falling over themselves with love for this ep and I think maybe they just found out about racism?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There's supposed to be a new season for Legends of Tomorrow starting tonight, fyi.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Jessica, I have not watched this ep for that very reason. I suspected that it would be offensive to Americans generally, and POC specifically. When it started out with the bus driver carrying a gun I knew that they did not understand and it would be completely over the top.

Any general plot points I should know about?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The episode made me deeply uncomfortable.

Thrive to spite them

I forgot Legends of Tomorrow started today I'll have to watch it tomorrow if it's on CW app tomorrow. Tonight is The Voice and I don't want to flip between them and I don't think I can get Mom even partly caught up on Legends.
