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.

That show doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry! It's like it never existed. Oh, wait, it's actually Cape Wrath. It was a British import. Huh.

It was disturbing, but cool. Both the housemate and I were sad when we realized there wouldn't be a second season.

Now I know where Showtime's Meadowlands came from.

I'm with megan on the Meadowlands enjoyment and being disturbed. I came to it from Blackpool for the Morrissey but stayed for the riveting creepiness of it.

Haven't mustered much interest in the Prisoner, but if it is like Meadowlands, I might have to reconsider.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Since (1) I never watched The Prisoner (though I know that's a reference), and more importantly, (2) I just watched about 7 episodes of S2 Buffy over the weekend, it makes me think of Ethan Rayne.

Robin Sachs would have made an EXCELLENT Number Two.

I am looking forward to what I have gathered is a pretty WTF-y finale.

A friend of mine said the show didn't just jump the shark in the finale, it got into a hot-air balloon and floated over the shark. I loved the hell out of it, but it is WAY out there.

The female Number Two is my favorite so far.

She was great. And was originally written as a man. They didn't really change the script much from what I understand.

Of the middle episodes, I'd say to definitely watch three in a specific order as there are some minor continuity glitches (since they weren't going for continuity) that make sense when seen in order: Schizoid Man, then The General, then A, B, and C.

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

Frank, that's how they are in the order I'm watching. Sweet.

Robin Sachs would have made an EXCELLENT Number Two.

Oh, he totally would!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fringe: "...an hypothesis." Hah. Of course Walter would use that article.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

FlashForward: the poker game? Well played. (I know that we *can* spoil, as soon as it airs on the East Coast, but I think I won't.)

More from Walter:

"...you may die a gruesome and horrible death. Thank you, and have a nice day."

Hee.

Flash Forward is available for viewing on Hulu, right? I missed it tonight, and didn't set up my dvr before leaving for work.
