Good luck with it. It isn't very often that I say this, but I literally wish I hadn't seen it.

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.

No, see, that makes me want to see it more. It's reached the point where morbid curiosity has kicked in.
Oh, wait. I just remembered that Espenson wrote it. And given her other Galactica efforts... maybe I'm not that curious after all.

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

Ahahahaha. I get this. It's why I don't regret seeing it even though it was SO FUCKING POINTLESS. I don't blame Jane E entirely because I'm sure she was given the broad outlines by RDM, but who seriously thought that 2 hours of exposition on plot points we already knew would be fun to watch???

I don't get the BSG finale hate--I rather liked it! I just handwave all the glaring WTF decisions at the end because it gets us to Hera being Eve, which is about the only thing that justifies all the "she is the savior of the human/Cylon species!" stuff that existed since season 1.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
However, could someone confirm for me one way or the other - there was a scene where Donna basically told the Doctor off that he was too dangerous to be around at the end of the episode (at least partly based on his fate for the Empress and her children). And didn't he ask her along (which I remember leading to the chewing out)?
yep, they cut out that whole exchange, which is BANANAS, considering how emotionally important it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anybody going to watch Demons on BBC America this weekend? Looks like a straight Buffy clone, with American Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister) mentoring a Van Helsing descendant who has to keep the supernatural in check in London.
The IO9 reviewer liked it, but the commenters didn't.

He looked unyum in the trailer. It's an atrocious attempt at an accent.
