Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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!

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?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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."

yeah, I don't get it either.

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

What's the deal with Chad, I want to know. There must be something beyond just snacking with him. From what interview I read, the actress playing his alien GF doesn't even know what "The One" means. Maybe they want his sperm too.
