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

I loved the new Sherlock. Not enough Rupert Graves for my taste, but hopefully there will be more of him in the next two episodes. But in general, really fun.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi there Boxed Set! I have missed you so. After a Doctor Who marathon this past week I am up to date. I skimmed the last 1200 posts and loved reading the comments and conjecture with the whole season fresh in mind.

And now Eureka! Loving the everything is new again. So many possible directions the show can go from here. Pure joy!

Sherlock will have to happen later.

DW: 9 is still my Doctor. I was not at all surprised that I took to 11 quickly. I thought he would make an excellent Doctor and hope he has an opportunity to grow in the role for years to come.

Great wacky energy. It worked so well with the popping back and forth to set stuff up right with the mailbox and sticky note, etc. There was much to love with the finale but mostly I am a total sucker for a happy ending. I liked Amy more too. Rory, totally world's best boyfriend/husband.

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

Is the new Sherlock sci fi? What's the premise?

No, not sci-fi. Just present-day.

Get it out of this thread, then, missies.

Art Crawl!!!

It's Sherlock Holmes - perhaps it should be in Procedurals. . .or possibly - UnAmericans.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

unAm seems like a good fit.

“Not dead yet!”

Apparently Jeffster performed "Bad Romance" at ComicCon.

I would have paid folding money to see that.

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

Barb, they showed a ridiculous dance video, and then the cast came out dancing. It was pretty fun, but not as epic as the "Fat Bottomed Girls" performance last year.

Yes, I wondered whether Sherlock talk should be in here. I decided that it might count, being Steven Moffat. But off to UnAmericans we go.
