Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh, and also, I remember thinking, at the moment when 11 empties the glass to listen at the wall, "Wow. This guy has a great physicality about him. It was such a 'throw away' gesture that it probably didn't even register in people's minds. Subtle, but lovely.

Oh, and my favorite line of the whole shebang, which will probaby be tagged as soon as the US airing: Am I people? Do I even look like people? . The answer should be yes, but it is definitely no.

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

There was a car outside my building this afternoon with the vanity plate FARSCPE1. I seriously considered hanging around until the owner returned to tell them how awesome their car was.

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

They showed tomorrow night's Chuck at WonderCon. It is PRETTY SWEET. I look forward to the reactions.

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

Just rewatched Doctor Who. It cracks me up that we now have a steampunk TARDIS.

Oh, one thing that cracked me up on DW was Amelia praying to Santa. On Easter!

Flashforward likely to be cancelled, V somewhat less so.

Dammit. I'm assuming Demetri doesn't die, and I want John Cho to keep having a regular job where I can see him.

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

Of course, the better of the two series is more likely to be canceled. Will I ever learn?

Of course not.

Huh! My opinion has flipped on the two series since they returned, so I don't like this conclusion.
