I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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

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 always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Pratchett had views on who should play some of the characters. The Patrician's description was based on Jeremy Irons (who played him in The Colour of Money). Charles Dance was very good as the Patrician in the adaptation of Going Postal.

He also envisioned Pete Postlethwaite as Vimes, but alas Pete is also gone.

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

I kind of always picture the Patrician as not far off from Monty Burns, personally.

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

Ultimately, the two eps are not similar, but this week's Who did put me in mind of Crackers Don't Matter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I see Supergirl was working around an absence of Melissa Benoist's. I wonder if this is when she was on Broadway.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I know I mentioned it before (a while ago), but here's the story about Colin Baker being left tied to a pole during filming Dr. Who.

That's a pretty awesome story, Toddson. Thanks for linking!

It SOUNDS like it was unintentional ....

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

Arrow: the flash forward was actually interesting this week. I wonder if it is taking place on an alternate Earth. There definitely seemed to be some hints in that direction tonight.

Thrive to spite them

I'm still not enthusiastic about Constantine on the team. I do want to know more about him and Gary. I want a huge fan of Amaya but I don't know if that was the actress or the character so I'm interested in seeing how this new character is.
