Willow ,'Storyteller'


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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm glad they have plenty of warning, so they can make a detailed plan for resolving all of the intricately plotted mysteries.

Think they'll explain how people from an Eastern Seaboard city are always popping over to visit a barn in Kansas like it's one subway stop away?

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

Strega, are you being sarcastic? It made me laugh.

We should run her statement through that new computer program.

Art Crawl!!!

A friend sent me an email from Rockne O'Bannon's twitter page:

Great conf call with B Henson yesterday, and we're meeting next week. Can't say a word about it. New and exciting. Oops, I said something.

Webisodes? Something else?

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

I'm going to take a bold step and post a snippet of the CW's season synopsis for S2 of VD:

And they’ll take their shirts off. Frequently.

Good to see the show understands this component of their appeal.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We've been watching Legend of the Seeker on Netflix. We just started Season 2. I dunno if I can take Charisma Carpenter in this role.

Compassionately intolerant

Hold on Laga. The burning doesn't last.

She was terrible.

Not that the series is a showcase of great actors but at least I don't recogniaze most of them. A fun game: count how many different accents you can hear. Sometimes you can score two or three from the same actor.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So FlashForward was basically a placeholder tonight? An episode of oh-crap-we-have-one-episode-to-fill-before-the-finale?

Meh.

So FlashForward was basically a placeholder tonight? An episode of oh-crap-we-have-one-episode-to-fill-before-the-finale?

And, from what I've read, they didn't know they were cancelled when they filmed the finale, so it may wrap up exactly nothing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

No "Fringe" chatter? Because that rocked!
