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 make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I've been bouncing around the Interwebs doing comparison price shopping for Christmas presents, and I wanted to stop by and let you know that I just stumbled across Buy.com. An amazing number of their DVDs are priced lower than Amazon (although I think they may be affiliated in some way) and they also have free shipping if you order over $25 worth of stuff.

A few examples: Eureka season 3 - Amazon: $25.49, Buy.com: $18.04. Witchblade, the complete series - Amazon: $40.49, Buy.com: $16.99. Blood Ties, season 1 - Amazon: $22.99, Buy.com: $17.65. Blood Ties, season 2 - Amazon: $22.99, Buy.com: $16.95. However the complete Farscape series is not better priced at Buy.com -- there it's $89.99.

Anyway, it might be a worth a look for those of you who are still shopping. Oh, and a side note -- the Overstock.com free shipping offer doesn't apply to DVDs. Bastards.

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

I thought Olaf appeared around 60. She could have known him 30 years, I suppose.

Alice is okay. It's better than Tin Man but I'm mostly hanging out for the premise, not an unnatural liking of the characters or anything.

Though I do like the Jabberwock's head.

Art Crawl!!!

The Jabberwock's head was creepy.

It is better than Tin Man. Have we seen Harry Dean Stanton yet? (If so, I didn't recognize him.)

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

Andrew-Lee Potts acquitted himself fairly, I thought. I've only seen him in Primeval and a demon series with the dorky guy from Coupling where he plays a similarly dorky character, so this was the first time I'd seen him straight. He pulled it off, I thought.

I didn't notice Harry Dean Stanton either.

Better that "Tin Man", yes. But Alice's plan was to get captured and tortured by the bad guys? Not how her plan went wrong, but her plan? Or did she not consider that a lawless drug dealing tyranny which engages in kidnapping, long term imprisonment, and vampirism might torture?

Trust my rage

So, I have spent my morning watching the last of Doctor Who available via iTunes. But since Christmas is coming, I'm assuming there's another special due? Anyone want to let me know the best place to *ahem* non-aired TV? It's been years since I *ahemmed* anything but I don't wanna wait! (E-mail is fine if that makes people more comfortable.)

Do you have BBC America Stephanie? They're airing it the day after Christmas.

And they're airing the Fall special on December 19th.

Oh, cool. I didn't have that when we lived in PR but I just checked and we have it here in Colorado. Thanks.

I'm so happy we can talk about Doctor Who in this thread without whitefonting.
