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.

Yes, there was a chunk of an X-Files episode playing on a monitor in the background a bit ago.

This, of course, makes it easier to recycle X-Files concepts. When they started talking about "They are here" last night, I laughed.

Megan, think about it. You get to maybe get pregnant by John Cho. Life could be worse.

Ah. I wasn't sure who the character was.

You're right. It could be worse. Much worse.

Parallel universes could also retcon some of the more egregious blunders on the X-Files part (and explain why Krycheck kept coming back from the "dead"). Not enough of them, sadly.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

My XBF said they'd planted Fringe firmly in the X-Files universe. Apparently there was a reference to "previous X-named departments" or something, I didn't catch it. But XBF reports that Chris Carter gave his blessing on the idea.

Yeah, "Fringe" seems to co-exist with both "X-Files" and "Lost," which means it's one freaky world.

It's weird that they also showed a bit of XFiles on TV. Documentary?

OMG. HE'S GETTING TELEVISION FROM AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!!!!

Also, "Millenium". And "Homicide"/"L&O" (The Belz was playing Munch on TXF, wasn't he?).

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

"Lost" is also set in the X-Files universe? I didn't know that. Makes sense. Insofar as anything makes sense in the X universe.

Wait ... that means, in an alternate universe, the Lone Gunmen didn't die an incredibly lame death? YAY!

The unholy alliance of Fox TV shows. All we need now is a reference to a forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In the Flash Forward pilot, a billboard for Oceanic Airlines is quite prominent in a bunch of the shots.
