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.

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

I'd be really startled if Eureka had already started shooting.

The Flick Filosopher went to the SciFi upfronts as well, and had some fun stuff to say:

...the silly stuff just can’t wait. I must report that I witnessed BSG’s Mary McDonnell (President Roslin) mistaking Eureka’s Ed Quinn (he plays Nathan, the sort-of bad guy) for a bartender. (All the best stuff happens at the bar.) Quinn is way taller than TV makes him look, and Colin Ferguson, the town of Eureka’s totally adorable sheriff, is shorter...

Oo, and I got Jamie “Apollo” Bamber to want to shake my hand when I approached him and BSG creator David Eick and thanked them for making science fiction cool. I explained about growing up an uncool geek (which I bet Eick understood, but probably not Bamber) but having been vindicated now that Rolling Stone or Time or whoever it was calling BSG the best show on TV. Triumph of the nerds! And Bamber laughed and shook my hand and congratulated me on my surviving my uncoolness. I think he was actually sincere, too...

Tigh is such a stick in the mud, but Hogan is a sweetie.

Unfreaking possible. Homeslice looms, and then some.

Entertainment Weekly does an episode guide for BSG Season 1 (including the miniseries).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. I'm watching an episode of Wire in the Blood, and Martha Jones' mother is on it.

How are her eyebrows? I was expecting them to be a plot point.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

and Colin Ferguson, the town of Eureka’s totally adorable sheriff, is shorter

agree on the totally adorable part, but isn't he like 6 feet tall? Not short anyway.

well, he did have that commercial.

Her eyebrows are...unremarkable? She's playing traumatized really well, though.

Six foot, six one. In a room with Jamie Bamber, I'm surprised anyone would come away with that assessment--unless Colin was hanging out with Ed the whole time, which would be totally plausible.
