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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I was wondering - Walter unbuckled the seatbelt when he got into the car to examine it. If he had left it buckled, would she have gone flying out of the windshield?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh, that's interesting.

It's been bothering me since he unbuckled.

excellent observation of detail.

There was something very tragic about Walter and Rebecca. I don't expect good things from that.

I wonder how much angst went in to using the Twin Towers.

And yay, the Charlie thing is resolved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The American accents on FF sounded especially bad tonight. Fiennes sounded like Christopher Lambert. And Byrne sounded off too.

The whole Nazi thing was whack. I'm not sure how they let themselves be talked into it other than just knowing that they were fated to let themselves be talked into it, by virtue of the FF. At which point, why be irritated by how little it seems he gave you? He didn't play you, destiny did. And, boy, does it seem to be a quick flight across the pond.

At least there was a lot less repetition this week, and less relationship mooning between Mark and Olivia. Not sure what to make of Zoey saying she saw Demetri, though. Is she not to be believed? Or is this our first example of variant futures? And what leads Demetri to think he can get April 29th off work? Chances seem slim, but I guess it's not like he knows he has a job, or anything.

Did Aaron get a DNA test on the exhumed body, or did he just check the coffin for a body? Because that sure was fast too.

1) she said she saw him, but we didn't see him

2) I think she was dreaming or asleep at said hour

3) final possibility: I understand from other boards that white is the color of mourning in Korea, so someone speculated that she could have been attending his funeral in Korea. One thing is true, that sun was too high in the sky for it to be Hawaii at that hour. So, she was either dreaming, not in Hawaii and some place west of there, or the directors have little attention to detail.

She seems to think she was happy, so I don't think she was at a funeral. That's a lot of acceptance for just a month on. Maybe it was a dream.

ita,

I think we (as viewers) are supposed to wonder if the fiancee was dreaming since Fiennes AA friend got proof his daughter is dead. So it seems that he was dreaming on 4/29/10.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

1) she said she saw him, but we didn't see him

Right. And under my assumption that only what they show us is the truth, we can't take her statement at face value.

I think we (as viewers) are supposed to wonder if the fiancee was dreaming since Fiennes AA friend got proof his daughter is dead. So it seems that he was dreaming on 4/29/10.

But this is throwing me. Because there has to be more to that storyline.
