I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Anya ,'Dirty Girls'


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.

I thought Chad was Scott Wolf?

Is Chad the kid? Isn't the kid called "Tyler"?

And when Ryan's gf told him she was pregnant - he seemed. . . disturbed. Perhaps he didn't think it was possible.

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

who knows what is in those heart meds she's been taking.

But the heart meds were from her regular doctor. The V clinic told her she is pregnant.

(And I'm not sure whether I trust that - I mean - did you think it was awfully convenient to have Chad in their debt re: the aneurysm? And she is Tyler's counselor.)

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

Sorry. I got my names mixed up. The only ones I'm sure of are Ryan and Anna. And I just learnt Ryan.

Still, whatever they want him for doesn't seem very organic to the story. I can't see what they need just one naive boy for. If they needed sperm donors they could find them by the hundreds.

Can Ryan's kid be the first? Tudyk's character said he had been in place for 20 years. Maybe her meds made a difference.

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

sumi, yes, I know the heart meds are from her doctor, but I'm at the point where I am distrusting most meds. If they have been here for years, fitting in, I think they could have corrupted the meds MUCH earlier.

Oh, okay - like the flu vaccine.

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

yeah. Ana didn't seem all that upset about the warehouse, so I'm thinking they have a plan b already in place.

So the V are the Wraith with better orthodontia and skin care?

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

And I'm not sure whether I trust that - I mean - did you think it was awfully convenient to have Chad in their debt re: the aneurysm?

Oh yeah, I was definitely calling shenanigans on that.

I wonder what walking around in human suits does to the Vs' sense of identity. Have they forgotten what they really look like? Who they really are?

Her henchman did, or was that more about the effect the explosion and the message would have on their people?

I wonder what walking around in human suits does to the Vs' sense of identity

Well, skinning seems to be a pretty horrible thing. I wonder how they get back to looking normal. In the original, couldn't they just peel off their skinsuits?
