where did Air Force 2 crash? Was it near the WH?
The WH doesn't have a runway, does it? I thought it was just the Marine lines of helicopters that ran there.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

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.

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

Kate's really not helping.
Truly. I have high hopes for Druitt, Tesla and the core guys to overshadow the new elements. They should not have tried to fix what wasn't borked.
Didn't know if everyone had seen the ep yet.
If it's aired in the US, no whitefont.
Copy that.

“Not dead yet!”
I thought it was the Capitol that was crispy, not the White House. I'll go back and watch again tomorrow to make sure, but I'm almost certain it was the Capitol.

Of course it was the Capitol. It was a dome that was burnt. That makes a bit better sense, although I'd imagine large swathes of Washington would be no go zones.

This is true. We used to have a lot of small craft overhead. Not any more.

Defying Gravity:
Phew. The last episode was INtense.
I'm confused, but I don't seem to mind. I really do like Livingston. All the characters, really, except for Nadia who seems only to exist to be annoying.

If pilots and air traffic controllers were all unconscious for two minutes and seventeen seconds, isn't it possible that a plane could wander into and crash into a no-fly area?

I wish they'd just bring Tesla on permanently and put Jonathan Young's name in the credits. He's one of my favorite parts of the show.
I don't hate Kate as much as some, but I do consider a scene focusing on her to be a wasted scene. I liked Ashley somewhat better. And I'm not wild about the way the gender ratio on the show is skewing now. Maybe they could bring in some other secondary characters who are female? Amanda Tapping's great and all, but I'd like to see some more women doing interesting things.

That's what I was thinking, Jon. I wish I hadn't already erased it off my DVR, because now I want to go back and watch the blackout sequence from the first ep and see if they showed what happened in Washington or alluded to it in the newscasts that followed everyone regaining consciousness.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's probably worth noting that the original novel was written in 1999 before there was a no-fly zone -- if the crash is actually something that was carried over from the book plot, anyway.
