What, you mean like a, a telenovela? Are you telling me we're all just a bunch of grannies sitting around watching our soaps?

Silly question: The self-sealing hot weld the Howling Commandos used on the 084 box in the opener. Is that an actual real-life thing? If so, what's it called?

I'm guessing it involves thermite.

Spoilers for 2.06 from io9:

quote:

Joining the cast in episode 2.06, "A Fractured House" will be Tim DeKay (White Collar) as Sen. Christian Ward, Grant's abusive older brother. [Zap2It]

Brett Dalton explained what this season's arc is for Ward:

The question is, 'Who is Grant Ward without Agent Garrett, without somebody ordering him around?' He's created kind of in Garrett's image and now that Garrett's not there, he has to really decide who he is and what he wants.

Wait...What! How why when? The gently caress? I stopped watching it a few years ago even with my totally healthy Stana Katic fixation. It's become entertaining again?

I dunno. I think it needs to either go all in on a major new direction or get taken out back and shot, one of the two.

I must warn you that the show is much like AoS in that it's pretty much horrible poo poo until like the last handful of episodes.

Something interesting about this week's episode is it looks like they're just going to pretend that Icers no longer exist. Like nobody brought them up when talking about taking down Ward.

Um, wasn't there a snarky comment in that episode about how one agent had a gun that would actually kill someone, and the other didn't? "You don't want me to shoot you, my gun will actually kill you" or something like that.

I gave up on BSG like four episodes into season 3 when it was absolutely clear nothing would ever go anywhere, yet I still see people talk about it like it was some great deep show periodically so I assumed I was in the minority.

If they'd just pulled the plug on the series when they were standing on the nuclear apocalypse planet, staring blankly out at the blasted, hopeless landscape, I would have been happy.

Is there any particular example that sticks out in your mind, or was your favorite instance of twin shenanigans?

When I was in college there was a brief period where some people called me by my middle name, which is boring, and my first name, which is cool but I got teased about a ton in school so I stopped using it. This led to an amusing circumstance in which some of my fellow students actually were under the impression I was two different people, which I discovered one night sitting in the computer lab. Another student left the computer lab to go to the bathroom; when he returned I had put on a sweater. So his eyes widened and he said "Hey, your brother was just there a minute ago..."

In the comics? Not anymore. That retcon just got retcon'd. They were never mutants now, just experiments by the High Evolutionary who were tricked into thinking they were mutants. Also, Magneto isn't their dad now... anymore... or never was... retcons. Probably because of Superboy hitting reality with Thor's hammer or something, I can't keep track.

Watch Daredevil, iZombie, or The 100. All three of which are better than the three shows you just named.

I already binged Daredevil, which is why I didn't list it.

I hate zombies as a genre, generally, but iZombie looks fun enough that I'm tempted.

I thought The 100 was supposed to be awful?

I didn't realize iZombie was based off a comic property, and by Mike Allred no less. I should check it out.

I ended up binging the first seven episodes last night. There are some issues, but overall it's a great show.
