'Objects In Space'


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.

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

He started out by saying he couldn't feel pain, and the condition he named was idiopathic neuropathy which is hugely general, and from googling doesn't match his life.

It's wildly ill-considered and I find it very irritating.

I did like that the French chick left--not him, but Haven. I see why people stay in Eureka, despite the calamity of the week. It's wonderful as well as weird. Haven just looks like a waiting room for absurd death, no matter how picturesque.

I do think my reaction to the sincere belief that I was living in a cursed town where people can die in freaky supernatural manners at a moment's notice would be to move away from the damn town.

Out of morbid interest, I looked up The Colorado Kid which was published by King in a short-lived paperback original series of hard-boiled crime - not one of his well-known properties.

Anyway... the points of correspondence it has with Haven ? A) Female protagonist who B) comes to a small Maine coastal town and C) works as a newspaper reporter intern for the two old journalists who run the local paper. And they tell her about the one mysterious death that occurred many years ago and that can't be solved.

And that's, literally, all that it has in common.

On the Eureka front - they said last night that in 2 weeks it will be the season finale. Is that just the summer season, or is it the season season? And if the latter, have they been picked up for a new one?

Summer finale. Colin's shooting 22 this year, if memory serves.

Haven works for me when the insomminia fairy strikes, and I'm so tired that Golden Girl reruns are too intellectually demanding.

I think ita, Cindy and I are the only ones watching "Haven."

Not the only ones. Me too. I just don't have anything to say about it.

That reminds me, when does Private Practice start back up? I've been having some trouble sleeping, and that show works as well as chloroform. Plus, brain cells only shut themselves off in protest instead of dying!
