'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I watched Justified instead. The ads being all about getting the annoying DIEDIEDIE! son back did nothing for me.

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

Liked the sting at the end where Anna showed part of her true face.

I noticed Nicholas Lea in the credits - I totally couldn't tell who he was in the episode. Was he Hobbes or one of the V? He's changed a lot if so.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Also, why is the Vs' sewing so bad? Shouldn't interplanetary travelers be able to sew a decent seam?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Watching V now.

Duhs so far:

Don't get rid of the dead V who broke into your house.

Anna is already creating a diplomatic incident by keeping a minor on her ship.

V fingerprint technology is admissable in an earth court?

We're irritating me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I couldn't find him either.

le nubian, I agree with you on the episode. I was really liking it before, but it felt like the show got a lot worse with the change in showrunners. I'm not sure anymore.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I did some net searching. here he is in a "V" picture. I think (judging from the photo) that he might be a character's father.

I like Lea, but I think I'm done with "V."

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, he wasn't actually in the episode. Although, could he have been in the kid's memories?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
