  1. I'm not convinced we won't find out that at some point during this episodes events Oliver did let Nyssa in on the plan. I mean, yes, she tried to knife him and he blocked it, but for all her "I would rather die than be subjected to this marriage" she didn't knife herself in the exchange. I think she is in on it.

     

    Of course, the rest of my crack!theory is that once Malcolm got thrown back in the cell with TA+ he let them know about the fake gas and they all put on a histrionic show for Ra's so he would believe that Oliver was truly leaving them there to die. That way everybody's at least remotely in on the plan again. I can even pretend that Diggle and Felicity's last exchange was because they weren't sure if this plan was actually working or not -- because it was such a huge gamble and they have never actually seen the effects of the virus firsthand.

     

    (But hey, at least the first part of my theory holds some water, right?)

  2. AyChihuahua, I honestly couldn't even make it through that episode of Angel (I just... no), but if they did that to Oliver, I too will forgive EVERYTHING -- just on principle. (Mainly the principle of a felt bow and arrows that will do any damage to bad guys.)

  3. So, I just spent the better part of an hour laughing maniacally and shouting, "THIS SHOW IS SO DUUMMMBBB!!!!!!" at my tv. I'm guessing that's not the response they were going for. (But who knows -- the way the plot's been this season, maybe that's exactly the response they were going for.)

  5. Count me in for Jaws, E.T., Dances With Wolves, Avatar, The Color Purple, Apocalypse Now and the Godfather series.

    I also skipped all the Harry Potter movies except for the last one (which I watched more as a joke with a friend than anything), and all the Fast & Furious movies (although I may break down and watch the last one for Paul Walker). Also, I don't do horror genre at all, so that's a non-factor for me.

    Some others:

    Man of Steel

    Pretty Woman

    Fight Club

    The Hobbit movies (I loved the LOTR trilogy, but no way was I getting tricked into a four-movie time-suck "based" on a book that was basically a short story compared to LOTR)

    Pulp Fiction

    12 Years a Slave (or most "Best Picture" winners/nominees of recent years -- too many to name)

    Breakfast at Tiffany's

    Casablanca

    Frozen

    I'm sure there are more that'll come to me later.

  10. I have no idea where I saw it now (I thought it was this thread, but I've missed it), but I saw someone recently throw out the idea that the reason Malcolm was so adamant that putting Thea in the LP was a bad, bad, bad, bad idea could be because he already tried that Tommy and it was a spectacular disaster (crazy zombie!Tommy disappeared into the wild, using the LP without permission was what set Ra's against him, etc.). I LOVE this idea, and it would explain a lot of Malcolm's motivation this season. PLUS, it would mean more (non-flashback) Tommy on my screen. Want. Need.

  11. I've said it before elsewhere, but the "Wishful Thinking" scene with the boys meeting Audrey and the Teddy Bear owns my heart for bizarre cheerfulness. I went through a rough period when all I wanted to do was lay on my bed in a fetal position all the time, and every time I would do that I would watch that scene and it would make me feel better.

     

    The first half of "Mystery Spot" is another favorite, as well as Dean throughout most of "Fan Fiction".

     

    Some moments that are just oddly hilarious to me are:

    • the boys first scene in "Sam, Interrupted"
    • the convo that the boys have in "Plucky Pennywhistle's" that starts with the ballwasher joke and ends with Shark Tank
    • Castiel's appearance with the sandwiches of solidarity in "Survival of the Fittest"
    • Maeve's deadpan reaction to Sam's "strange noises" question in "Fan Fiction"

     

    These all hit my funny bone at just the right spot.

  12. Any thoughts on why Felicity didn't look back at Oliver when she left?  

    My personal fanwank is that she knew she would not be able to keep walking if she looked back. She kept her left hand up near her neck/face as she walked away -- it seemed to me like she was covering her mouth to keep from sobbing out loud as she left. If she had glanced back and saw Oliver had turned around and was looking at her the way he was looking at her, I'm sure she would not have been able to handle it at all. She would have run right back to him.

     

     

    Or maybe I'm just imagining what I would be doing if Oliver looked at me like that. ;-)

  14. After spending several days in the last week deciding which new glasses frames to buy, you finally realize that narrowed your choices down to some familiar-looking rectangular frames -- one of which is the color of a certain pen you've seen a lot of lately, and the other which has the same ombre effect seen here: tumblr_nbrw92SIKI1qdlubpo5_500.jpg

    Either way, this is probably my last chance to vote for him, so fight on Henriksen!
