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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I think the catch up was more because it had been off the air since November, more than the pacing. LOST has done similar, I believe.

And they're doing one for V too. Although I just watched the four eps that aired for the first time as they were floating around my DVR, so I'm fresh for the new ones.

“Not dead yet!”

x-posted with Natter:

David Tennant alert: anyone who gets HBO Signature, the film Einstein & Eddington will be premiering on March 23, starring David Tennant as astrophysicist Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington and Andy Serkis as Albert Einstein.

Tennant! In period clothes! Being all brainy! Which... okay, not all that different, really, but still. Also, bonus! Jim Broadbent is in the film as well.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Eeek -- don't know how I made a mistake on the timing. I blame DST.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

They don't list Fossils, which is the one Colin directed.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

FF: so the bad guy's name is Flosso? Really? Seriously?

hwæt

The psychiatrist on FF has X-Men action figures on her window sill. That's kind of random.

Do you recognize the actress? she looks familiar, but I can't place her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

FF: so the bad guy's name is Flosso? Really? Seriously?

My exact reaction was "Hey kids! It's Flosso the Clown!" and then made honk-a honk-a sounds and gestures, sort of like Harpo Marx, but without an actual horn.

I mean, *Flosso*?

Also, I have to admit, the show has re-upped my intrigue. The Hobbit has me hooked.

Not to mention Norrington. Hubba hubba. Between Jack Davenport and Courtney Vance, the show is nicely stocked with Yummy Voices. Guh.

Also, Bryce reminds me of Riley Finn.

And oh, my god, Gil Bellows! He was whatshisname, Ally McBeal's first-love-who-married-Allison-from-Melrose-Place! I'm both amused and cringing at his hair and Vincent Vaughn bloat.

More John Cho, please.
