Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

"I shot him twice in the chest."
"How about once in the head?!"

Gold.

I hope it's also got the Cylons constantly fretting that the humans have a secret master plan. "They're staging boxing matches? Come on, this has to be a cover for something else. Dude, we are so boned."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I can remember the day when male sf fans would have sacrificed to the Elder Gods for anything that would get women to an sf event.

They still want us around, but only to look at. They don't want us to actually engage with the material or anything.

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

It looks like one giant retcon. Everything! It was all part of the Plan! Seriously! They were having these secret conversations the whoooooole time.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

They still want us around, but only to look at.

And to grab our boobs at cons without repercussions.

“Not dead yet!”

And to grab our boobs at cons without repercussions.

Preferably while they're encased in chainmail.

The male geeks I know don't object to me knowing about SF, they're just surprised, then they get interested in the conversation about the proper alignment of Batman and whether Kirk could kick Picard's ass, and why New!Trek is fanfic.

proper alignment of Batman

Chaotic good.

whether Kirk could kick Picard's ass

If they fight in a hallway, yes. Kirk has a mean wall-kick.

Really? I think it looks like the opposite of that. Given that at the start Stockwell is saying "The plan is that we wiped them out a week ago. But noooooooooo."

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

Kirk is sneakier than Picard. He fights dirty 'cause it's fun.

I guess I meant that they're trying to make us buy that there was a Plan in the first place. The trailer makes it look like basically a recap of the series with added scenes of Cavill bitching about the Plan.
