Brains and Bondage: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Dollhouse]]'' episode "A Spy in the House of Love", Echo is first shown imprinted with a dominatrix personality, and waxes philosophical to Boyd that it's about trust rather than pain.

* Implied in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' with the Doctor and Dr. River Song.

'''River Song''': Spoilers! }}

* Probably skating the line here, but in ''[[Farscape]]'' you have [[Wicked Cultured]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] Scorpius who ''really'' has a thing for black leather and masochistic tendencies. Yes ''that'' way. However, this being ''[[Farscape]]'', there are a ''lot'' of very intelligent people/aliens enjoying ''really'' kinky stuff. There is a reason it's been described as an American man's descent into the Australian BDSM scene.

** In the episode "Crackers Don't Matter," the mental clone of Scorpius implanted in Crichton's brain ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]), which had been previously encouraging him to slaughter his shipmates, advises him instead to tie [[Ms. Fanservice|Chiana]] up and " save her for dessert."

* Hinted at in ''[[Angel]]'' with Wesley, who has [[Encyclopaedic Knowledge]] of demonology. In episode 2.20, we get the following exchange (while researching how to keep together while going through a dimensional portal):

'''Wesley:''' "Well, I--" ''*pauses and looks uncomfortable*'' "--wouldn't know." }}

* In ''[[Sherlock]]'', a modern day version of the [[Sherlock Holmes]] canon, [[Femme Fatale|Irene Adler]] is a dominatrix who caters to the rich and powerful, using her "access" to gain sensitive material for blackmail and leverage. She's also, in [[Spank the Cutie|every]] [[Worthy Opponent|sense]] [[Batman Gambit|of the word]], the only one to ever [[Out-Gambitted|beat]] Sherlock Holmes, and much more thoroughly than in the original story. {{spoiler|For a while, at least.}}
