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.

BTW, who played suicide girl? She looked really familiar, and I'm thinking I've seen her on Doctor Who before. She reminded me of the girl who left the Big Brother house with the Doctor, or a less-refined Madame du Pompadour.

I didn't recognize her.

Meanwhile - enjoy an amusing Lost/BSG picspam.

This must be suicide girl - in which case I should have recognized her from The Innocence Project.

She must just have a type of face that rings a bell with me, because I've not seen any of those shows listed on her IMDB entry. She really does have a strong resemblance to Mme. Pompadour, though.

Thanks, guys! I think it must have cut off right at the end.

Darn it:

I asked Moore about the rumor that Joss Whedon had been tentatively lined up to direct one of the final episodes of “Battlestar.” Moore confirmed that “Buffy” creator Whedon, a big fan of “Battlestar,” very much wanted to direct a “Battlestar” episode, but it looks as though he probably will not be able to do so, thanks to his commitment to a new Fox series, “Dollhouse.” “He really wanted to do it, but I’m dubious that it will work out,” Moore said.

From the same interview:

Filmmaker John Dahl, who had been lined up to helm an episode before the strike, is still directing an episode of “Battlestar”: He’ll work on Episode 13.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Even in her old job, Gwen couldn't have said, "I'm going to be working long hours preparing a raid on a big drug ring operating on the wharf." Just the long hours part.

All these speculations about dynamic guns-blazing cop things are making me giggle a bit. Not to say that Cardiff doesn't have a problem with drugs (I'm sure they do), but I keep remembering Gwen's nice blond partner in that first ep: "They should do CSI: Cardiff! It's be all about measuring the velocity of a flying kebab!"

Also, I'm so glad to hear Rhys is getting some love! I do heart Rhys enormously. (...er, my mental image of him tends to be as he's drumming out a tune on his arse, while meandering out the room butt-nekkid.) And, yes - much like my love for The Chief! (Except The Chief has a bit of SpyDaddyesque Do-Not-Fuck-With-Me going on, along with the whole cuddly teddybear thing, which is also v. v. v. hot.)

Whoa, I just saw the latest REAPER and if you hadn't told me that was Jamie Kennedy I NEVER would have known that. Also, Ray Wise gives good evil (though I think we knew that).

I recognized Jamie Kennedy immediately. I really don't like him, so I spent his scenes cringing and praying that he wouldn't start his schtick.
