Paging Dr. Who...I NEED YOU.
New special this Sunday!!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

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

Right!
At least that's something.
What's wrong with these Scifi writing kids today? Where has their gumption gone?

All is well that ends in pizza.
SGU wasn't bad. They got off the ship and a lot of people died.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
TJ broke me last night with her reaction to Eli.
And how much did I love that my trained expectation for everything to be wrapped up neatly with the press of a Big Red Reset Button was thrown out the window? "Oh, now they can get it right! Wait, what? More death? Cut to black mid-musical-cue what?" Awesome.
From the previews and, if I remember correctly, the lack of To Be Continued, this is it for this story? As in, we are left to imagine that they go through many more cycles and iterations until they get it right, and we won't see any of that? Also very cool. Reminds me sort of how Farscape would just start in the middle of the action, instead of tromping through all the normal set-up before the actual story began.

Tempting, but I don't know...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bet not enough people died to please me.
This week's Sanctuary was easily my favourite of the season. I found it very sweet, even though I figured out the who and they why ahead of time. Not much Kate and I really liked Henry. Him being too close to a woman doesn't bother me in the slightest if it's not Kate. But I am surprised "bros before hos" survives a murder attempt. Or he just is gay.

Chloe would need to outdo Captain Jack in that regard to really make my day.

Oh, I agree.
I was just hoping that, since they showed Big Guy embracing him in the previouslies, that they'd go less ambiguous and have him say something like, "We can't be together like that."
As I said, way up thread, I'm not one to seek the slash. I just liked how true Henry's feelings were last season and any natural, realistic relationship in pop media, regardless of orientation, needs all the support it can get.
Don't mind me. I'm still bugged by the writers killing off Tessa in HighlanderS2.
