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.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm not at all up to date on Sanctuary, but liked the Shanks visit. Amused by the love the hair comment.

Fringe is the only show I am up to date on. Glorious addiction. It is likely I will rewatch Fringe episodes before I catch up on other series. Walter, oh Walter. What a jewel of a character and actor.

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

Somehow I knew ita would be the one with the scene at hand! I think he looks good. I'm into the scruffy look.

Did anyone else see the belly pouch and think "Jafaa!"?

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

Kree! That is to say, every time. I'm sad they had to CGI his abs, because it looks like he's been keeping up his gym time.

My interest in Highlander just peaked some--All we are is dust in the wind--Tessa bought it. Still, a long way from Methos. But we have some Xavier St. Cloud to pass the time, and other worldly delights. This was one of my first fannish TV involvements.

His best shot was the still they projected of him. Very rrowr.

mmhmm. Very. I kept rewinding to that point.

I didn't have this thought but it brings up something that has confused me. Surely, because I just missed a critical moment my mad consumption of SG-1.

I never understood "snakes in the head" when the symbiont lived in the belly. Was it different for Jaffa vs. Tok'ra, etc.?

The Stargate wiki doesn't seem to have the answer.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

They were in the head for the Go'a'uld, assuming I've put in the correct number of apostrophes.

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

The Go'a'uld symbiote lived entwined in the cerebral system of its true hosts (including the To'kra), and just in the belly of the Jaffa pack mule.

Aha. Thanks for putting that to rest.

Not counting classic Star Trek, mine too.

Ahh, Methos. Like fine wine.

Yeah, me too. Except for devotion to Barnabas Collins when I was too young to be a proper fan, and an entrenchment in the Anne Rice books as a teen, Highlander marked the first 'must see tv' for me.

eta: I should add that I recognize it as serious fandom for me given the number of heartbreaks I was willing to work through in order to stay connected to it. Tessa's death, Richie (period), Darius' death (RIP Werner Stocker) and various explanations for things that were too dopey, even for this universe.

I suppose that fandom = pain is no secret around here.

I never liked Tessa, so her death mostly meant my introduction to a cheesy song. I never like Richie much, but was mostly pleasantly surprised he was an Immortal even if I get how they're spotted even less well than Potential Slayers. In fact, I pretty much stopped watching when Duncan killed him. I didn't like how they handled Duncan then.

I think Highlander was the first TV where I sought out other people's discussions of it. I'd only done that for comics and books before that.

Anyone watched the British series Invasion:Earth? I saw it recommended, but it's moving very slowly so far.
