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.

PD fans: Lee Pace does a very nice (and very romantic) job in Miss Pettigrew Lives for the Day.

Also, the trailers before the movie included a long ad for Torchwood as part of an ad for digital cable, I think. I was having cognitive dissonance, seeing Jack Harkness on the movie screen.

Somebody needs to keep a list of the unhealed injuries that Owen is accumulating.

They actually discussed this in the "Declassified", how they're going to be careful about the injuries that they give him. They are very aware that Owen will ALWAYS have to have a bandage on his left hand from now on.

They also decided against deathlike make-up because they didn't want to inflict 2 hours of sitting in the chair on Burn every morning and wanted to let him act it instead.

Torchwood 2.10: I agree with whoever it was who said the episode wasn't scary enough. Plus all the celluloid pseudo-science didn't really hang together. The most shocking thing about it was that they really did let all of those people die, including the cinema-owning parents and the rest of the little boy's family .

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sure he's grateful for that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's a pity they can't just pale him up like they did for DB on Buffy(I'm assuming with powder).

But then again that show had Southern California teenagers for contrast, whereas Torchwood has a bunch of Welsh characters that spend all their daylight hours underground. Tosh is the only one with any color unless Ianto is crying, which, please no.

Compassionately intolerant

Thanks to Kevin, this has been a lost weekend devoted to binge viewing TW, Moonlight and now moving on to Robin Hood S2. Which, since I'm waiting for my out of town guest to recover from some sort of funny tummy, is made of win. Except for the not getting anything useful done. Thanks Kev!

Lovely and complex.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

The thing that really struck me during my multiple viewings of this ep of Torchwood, was how lovely and evocative the music was. It really enhanced the sadness.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm head over heels in love with that SCC vid, not only for the awe-inspiring wondrousness of the editing, but also because it deals with the most fascinating aspect of SCC (IMO) in the juxtaposition of Cameron's behavior with everyone else's, especially Derek's.

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

Juliebird, my comment was that I loved how it showed the way Cameron is learning from a very odd set of role models.
