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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

What happened after hottie blonde V girl walked through the silver door smiling smugly?

She tells Anna that Erica's son is the one, and they should use him. Anna tells her she's proud of her, to which she replies, "Thank you, mother." Dun dun DUN!!!

I just watched "Living in Harmony." Ahahahaha what the fuck??

The original (1960's) "Living in Harmony"? Yeah, if that is WTF wait until you see the series end.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because Fall Out just clears everything right up?

I think he meant that it is even more WTF than randomly turning your show into a Western for an episode.

Well, you've also got The Girl Who was Death coming up, which also begins in a completely random place. I think that one at least has the usual credits, though.

MacGoohan had always wanted to do a Western, and they had a 17 episode allotment to fill. This is the part of the season where they started scrambling for story ideas.

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

So the Vs have been around for 20 years, huh?

I think I need to see a little more ground gained by the resistance--I was glad the fifth column was duping Wash, because the Vs were seeming too impregnable, and that takes away from my enjoyment of the story. I also didn't know where they could go with Erika being revealed to them so soon. So this makes more sense.

The son is still a waste of bandwidth. I'd be surprised if whatever nefarious plan they have in wait for him can change that.

Only one episode left until they rework it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Okay, how did Erica know the combination to that room?? I mean, she is clearly awesome in many ways, but there has to be a reason.

There was an establishing shot of her watching a V enter the code with a minimum of stealth.
