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.

I hadn't realised David Fury had left Terra Nova. Now, however, most of the writers are gone, at least for now.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Just saw last Monday's Chuck. Frost said something after "Your father never wanted you to see this" that sounded like "Everything I know now about you is wrong". Is that what she said? WTF does that mean? And both Frost and Orion went on about Ellie curled up between them in the middle seat of the car she's now driving, and she doesn't notice that it has no middle seat? Ellie did not get the spy gene.

It would be nice to see Chuck be an effective spy without the Intersect. For an episode or two.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, no middle seat - noticed that but didn't connect it. I have no spy gene either.

TVD: So true. Also: how could they not behead the evil European vamp? And - why can't vamps see other vamps when they're using vamp speed? Makes no sense to me.

Fringe: Olivia - almost there! Does FauxLivia even know that she has a niece?

And I forgot this - Remember the Ambered.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, no middle seat - noticed that but didn't connect it. I have no spy gene either.

I actually paused the Tivo when Ellie was reading the letter and said to Lewis, "Something's not right. Mustangs don't have middle seats in the front. It was one of their hallmarks, the bucket seats."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, I wonder if Ellie could get the Intersect. Which would be fun for a couple of episodes, anyway.

I'm loving the alternate universe plots and world-building on Fringe. (North Texas?) But three weeks ago it made it a little hard to explain to my aunt just what was going on in the episode that I was watching when she only had a vague idea what the regular plot was like....

Oh my people discussing both Chuck and TVD!! I need to venture into this thread more often!!!

Tiggy, Damon reduced me to a big shmoopy mess at the end of that episode. I am fairly sure that I literally held my breath for the entire scene. Curse you Damon Salvatore, indeed.

Back to Chuck, I don't think that whatever his mother did to him removed the intersect. If there was an intersect-removing PSP in the basement the whole time, his father would have had a waaaay easier time removing it in S2. But, scrolling up, you all have already said that. Carry on!

i've probably watched the scene a dozen times, zuisa. guts me every time. someone youtubed it and i've watched it three times while i've been at work. when he's telling her he's going to say the most selfish thing he's ever said and his voice catches? gah.

for your viewing pleasure. [link]

AND now I'm all emotional again. Thank you for the link!! As soon as I saw him sitting in her room I knew it was going to be an emotional scene for me. I adore Damon and I basically just want him and Elena to run off somewhere and never speak of the other Salvatore brother again. Hah. I kid, sort of. I really love the show as a whole but Damon's relationship with Elena is definitely one of the more compelling (hah! I'm so witty) components.

His voice catching and single tear just slay me. The forehead kiss? So damn sweet.

Also, your tagline is one of my favorite scenes from the show.
