I really liked Charlie. Rats.
*sigh* he's gone to the Francie place.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I received literature from Harvard the first page was reassurance that you need not worry about not going to Harvard because of financial reasons
All fine and dandy for you in-country people. They told me I'd have to bring my own money, but they'd be happy to let me in.
I hope that's not it for Jordan. We'll see.
I decided to let them slide on the pole reversal will wreck the world since a) at least it's not happening in 2012, and Colin finished the ep very strongly playing the puppet and then saying goodbye two his two blondies.
I'm also assuming that the reason the new magnetic pole was misbehaving so was because it was a baby and cranky. How irritating would it be if everything magnetic near the north or south pole flew to that specific spot.

Love this reasoning!

I'm willing to handwave that one of the benefits of being a Global Dynamics/Eureka employee is that your offspring get free-ride tuition to any college. Or Henry was thoughtful enough to specify that she'd need a scholarship, which is totally his character.
I'd love to see Jack visiting Australia. Or the inevitable "She's a Harvard pre-med, he's an MIT engineer -- together they fight scientific crime!" scenario. :-)

I love Zoe/Jordan Hinson to bits, but Lucas? Useful? Interesting? I'd rather watch Poochie and Fargo's hourlong hijinx.

Oh! I forgot that Fargo Got Some, and they both seemed very happy about it.
Perhaps it will all be explained that this is dream episode....

As soon as it was clear that somebody would be remotely controlling Carter's body, I knew I was in for some comedy gold.
I'm still kinda weirded out by all the continuity and callbacks to past characters. On one hand, ContinuityYay!. On the other, I'm too well trained by other shows that these things aren't brought up without a reason. These dead characters that new viewers would be confused to hear mentioned are studiously ignored unless something Really Significant was going to come to bear regarding them. So on that other hand I keep waiting for something to happen.

DH loved that part in particular. He compared the physical comedy to Dick Van Dyke. Fun stuff.

It was good to see them write directly to his broad physical comedy strength. The show's been good about writing to his strengths in general, one of the reasons I've found it a treat to watch, but he's very good at moving, and it hasn't played that up as much on a large scale as it could have.

Yes, I should have praised CFerg's moves -- Dick Van Dyke is a good comparison indeed!
