This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

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

I loved the Alice actress in Lost Girl. So I'm excited. Overall, I enjoyed the pilot.

The Alice reveal didn't make much sense to me. I just don't understand why she's so pissed.

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

That's the question. Why was she never found? She was a little girl. I mean, even Batman couldn't find her. What happened in the interim?

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

I am assuming she was found and raised by another villain, but I'm looking forward to finding out more.

I assumed she'd been found, not identified or no one believed her if she said who she was, and sent to the (abusive) orphanage. She knows who her family is and is angry that they never found her and is hitting back at them and all of Gotham.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The Alice reveal made no sense to me either, but I enjoyed the pilot, so I'll stick with it for a while. It's the kind of show I can enjoy but not get invested in.

Just as I was thinking about how ridiculous the tech babble has gotten on The Flash, they got an affectionate LOL out of me for Cisco finally pulling out the perfect music cue: Queen's Flash Gordon theme.

It took me a few seconds to realize what that music was ... then I laughed and enjoyed it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Saw an article today about a sequel series in audiobook format for Orphan Black : [link]

Read by Tatiana Maslany!

It's available on something called Serial Box. Have any of you heard of this, or tried it out? I'm tempted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I've been seeing ads for it for a while, and...I don't want to pay for another thing? If I could just buy it outright I might be interested, but I don't want another subscription. And I love the end of the show so much.
