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!

24 got, well, 24, but they kind of had to give that to them.

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

IIRC, even 24 structured their first series so they could end after 13 if they had to.

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know that. I still have the first season wrapped in plastic. Don't know if I'll ever get around to watching it.

The second half of the season was a mess. It was a really fun mess, but very clearly written with a "Oh fuck, there's more? Um...has Kim been kidnapped? She has? How many times? Fuck. Okay, has the wife been kidnapped? She has? Um, has she had amnesia? No? AWESOME!" kind of attitude.

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

At least there was no cougar.

Fancy icing gravy.

Ew.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

My Farscape DVDs arrived! The entire shebang in a compact little package! Except... err, it does not seem to have "The Peacekeeper Wars", which is NOT RIGHT. Harrrumph.

Art Crawl!!!

I know!

Of course, I already have "The Peacekeeper Wars".

Yeah, that was annoying. I bought it separately for like eight bucks.

The package is SUPER compact, though. I was impressed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

One of the reasons I never got into watching Farscape (and it's too bad, I think I would've loved it if I'd gotten in from the beginning) was that I saw a couple episodes in rerun, and then I saw the last episode, and they DIED. I couldn't go back after that.

Not that having the main character(s) die is necessarily a bad way to end a story, but it was depressing.
