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

Not having seen such programs, I'm just left wondering whether or not he got the former chief of police drunk and date raped him before the murder.

Speaking of Sam Tyler, we've been watching Ashes to Ashes series 2 and just started series 3. What has been aired on BBCA?

I have to say, I couldn't get in to A2A the first season, but I picked back up with it in the second. Outright misogyny had given way to more nuanced machismo by then. (disclaimer: I only watched the first episode of series 1, but was wearied by it.)

But series 2 was awesome and series 3 is just bananas!

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

BBCA just aired episode 7 of series 2.

US Who... Bill Nighy!

Wait, that was Bill Nighy as Vincent? I TOTALLY did not recognize him.

Nope. Bill Nighy was the museum docent. Big glasses and all.

OK, that makes a LOT more sense. Didn't recognize him there either, but at least I can connect him mentally.

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

i found some of the accents on that show hard to understand at times, but i still adore it. especially Sam.

Thank goodness for subtitles. Though sometimes I still have no idea what they're saying. I'm in the middle of episode 2 and totally in love but I already had a thing for Simm so it's not surprising.

"Do you remember people? You used to be one."

heh

The soundtrack is so very awesome but some of this stuff I had no idea went this far back. I can't believe Dark Side of the Moon is older than my roommate.
