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 guess I meant that they're trying to make us buy that there was a Plan in the first place.

I think saying "They have a plan" at the start of every episode accomplished that. And, well, there obviously was a plan. And it was a pretty good plan, given the billions of people they wiped out. But it wasn't perfect.

I definitely prefer that to claiming that from the start they intended to leave 50,000 people alive.

The cooties post you quote is from a site where deeply disturbed people gather. A random quote: (I refuse to link):

"Any strategy that does not take into account the Illuminati programming women will not work. "

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

That's ambiguous. Are they women programmed by the Illuminati, or Illuminati-programming women? Are we to believe the Illuminati are all women? Or that all women are Illuminati? ... Mulder?

From context: women are too simple minded to develop plans on their own and are programmed by Illuminati to bash men. (They are programmed by repetition, because women are much more vulnerable to repetition than men.)

No worries, Steph, no one will believe it. Women are too simple-minded, you know.

Yeah this group is nuts and deserves ridicule and contempt. At the same time, that is not to say they can't be dangerous. These are the extreme end of the "Mens Right Activist" groups. The guy who shot up the aerobics class was from another branch. (The shooter was from the "I'm oppressed cause I can't get super models to lay me" caucus, but similar in extremism, hatefulness and violence of the rhetoric.)

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

But are the illuminati men or women? Were there women in the illuminati smart enough to program the rest of us female simpletons, or is the men's fault we are this way? Or were the illuminati infiltrated by gay men?
