Yeah. He's my hero.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I figure that one of the kids on Sarah Jane Smith Adventures will be the next next Doctor.

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

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

What happened in the last minute of V? My recording was clipped. I saw the pull back out of our solar system and beyond to show another ship and then it was cut off. Was there anything more?

They showed a GINORMOUS fleet just waiting there, presumably poised to attack.

Art Crawl!!!

Right - they were waiting right outside our solar system. And then, for some reason, no V until March.

What is up with all the weird programming?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the gap until ??March?? -- why didn't they "position" this as a mini-series special or something?

Also, exactly WHAT is the V's plan? Did it get mentioned in any part of episodes that I missed or went into a coma during?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I believe they want to eat us. This has not yet been stated.

OK, so they have obviously ELABORATE biomedical science, can cure disease by waving techy wands over skin -- can grow complete living skin suits -- have tons enough alien tech that they can have a couple kajillion space ships waiting to invade Earth --
..

and they want to EAT us?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

I'm guessing they want the planet, and eating us is a gift with purchase.
