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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dammit, I can't ahem on my work laptop, and my personal computer is out of commission. I need a laptop, stat.

Survey: Are you a completist, who wants to own every season of a show, even if you didn't like some of them, or do you only buy the seasons you liked?
I'm a completist. I don't have to buy every season, but I can't have gaps. So it doesn't bother me that I have Buffy 1-3 (that's what was on sale!), but I wouldn't want 1, 3, and 5. It helps that with most shows it's the early seasons you want anyway. Of course, I can't afford to buy many TV shows.
This is true of books too, I don't want vol. 2 if I don't have vol. 1. but I don't care if I don't have later volumes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I can dig that, megan. That would certainly make me more twitchy. Right now, I have several incomplete sets, but they're the early seasons, so I just haven't gotten around to finishing the sets.

When you just have the early years/volumes of something, you can justify it by saying "Oh, I got those before all the hoi polloi got interested," if you're the sort to use hoi polloi in a sentence.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'm about to go to bed, but initial thoughts on Doctor Who: Episode good, preview for next time even better (I am SO excited about guest-star-who-will-be-spoilery-if-you-didn't-see-preview). Interested in character development with the Doctor. I was discussing with The Girl why they didn't take him in a 'I rule the universe!' direction for more than two minutes, e.g. have him go a bit evil for a bit. She reckons it would be inconsistent with Tennant's Doctor's character, but I don't know. He pulled off Ultimate Time Lord pretty well for ten minutes or so.

Re: Completism: I am completist for shows that are *my* shows - Alias, Babylon 5, The Wire, a few others. The exceptions are that I haven't been able to buy either S5 of Angel or S7 of BtVS yet (I have issues), though I will eventually because I want to rewatch each series start-to-finish again.

I'm more likely to be a completist for books than tv shows.

I'm usually a completist. The most noteworthy exception for me is Nip/Tuck - I have the first three seasons, but there's no way I would spend money on the later ones.
