Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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.

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

I thought he looked like the same kid, only older than we last saw him. and that was what 2 seasons ago?

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

Which implies that Stark is alive? If so, odd that they'd hold off on making that explicit.

Unless that's a big reveal sometime later. I'm not sure Alison has had time to think of that possibility yet.

Also, what did Kevin say to Jack during the early scenes? I'm totally memfaulting and sadly deleted the episode out of habit when it was over.

The last thing Kevin said to Jack before the throw-back-in-time was "The day's not over yet", I think. I can't remember what Jack said before that.

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

Also, didn't he say something about "Dad"? Which implies that Stark is alive?

Stark isn't his father. Not that I heard him say "Dad." We don't know what he would have called him.

Callas was great, and he looked quite smart in that suit. Ooh, sexy as hell.

I agree that he looked fantastic, but I was a bit distracted by the way his accent kept shifing in and out. But yeah, I agree, I'd be happy if the guys dressed in those clothes all the time.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I was kind of pondering the possibility that Kevin sent them back into the past on purpose, because he needed it. Or because he needed to help his mom be ok.

Kevin mentioned the nanny was giving his sister a bottle before he asked if he could go to his friend's house.

All is well that ends in pizza.

As long as the nanny isn't Fran Drescher nor Hulk Hogan...

Okay, Jack as 1940s soldier is hitting more kinks than I knew I had.

oh yeah, that shot with him in the hat after he punched the MP was great (side note: why did they not buy themselves some time by tying up the major and hiding him so that he could not look for them?)

Because that would make too much sense, Vortex?
