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 want both Charlie and Lincoln from the AU to come over and work with "our" Olivia.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

in order for that to work, we need to send two people from our universe over there.

any suggestions?

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

Really liked the FBI/what's an FBI?/the FBI has been defunct for a decade bit from the last ep, because I hadn't noticed she shouted it when she was rescuing the kid, so when he brought it up from his hospital bed, I was all, "Wha...? Oh!"

I noticed when she said it, but it didn't register as weird since I didn't know there was no FBI on the Other Side.

I also thought Broyles' (sp?) kid was played really well. Good job, actor kid.

Yeah, he was really good. With the tears!

ZOMG AAAARGGGH MESSAGE FOR PETER YAAARRGGH.

I really don't want this show to be canceled! It's one of my very favorite shows right now. My favorite show on network TV, even. (Favorite on cable: Terriers. Favorite on premium cable: Dexter.)

I just realized that this season of Fringe is basically like season three of Farscape.

I want both Charlie and Lincoln from the AU to come over and work with "our" Olivia.

Yes to this. I don't want to lose them!

My first instinct was to give them some politician I don't like, but I kind of love the AU so that would be mean to them.

Maybe we can give them our Bono and some other entertainer they don't have. Not that I don't like Bono - I do - but we've already gotten to enjoy him; they should get to as well. And he'd write some awesome songs about the Amber Tragedy. I wonder if they have Springsteen; maybe we can send ours over on a similar mission.

I just realized that this season of Fringe is basically like season three of Farscape.

I have had that thought and it worries me; I don't want Peter to have to watch Fauxlivia die. I like both Olivias too much.

"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

Santuary: I thought Henry and the Big Guy were in a romantic relationship. Was I wrong about that all this time? The subtext actually seemed to be screaming TEXT.

I think being asked about that in Season 1 freaked Ryan Robbins out enough that they backed off almost any onscreen personal interaction between the two characters later in the series.

Though how he could film multiple takes of Christopher Heyerdahl cradling his cheek and telling him they would go through his journey together and not pick up on the subtext until someone questioned him about it afterward is a mystery to me.

I'm not sure why that storyline was so unceremoniously dropped. I thought it was great, and very well carried out by the actors. That memory totally pulled me out of this latest episode. I ended up ffing to the Tesla bits and ignoring the rest.

Art Crawl!!!

Hey, I had a thought about the whole zombie movie/show tradition of not calling them zombies: maybe it's because to be zombies they'd have to have been called forth in that particular voudoun ritual and lots of "zombie" movies have walking dead type creatures that owe nothing to a ritual.

And I must say that I am enjoying that The Walking Dead only cares about how it's people are surviving and not so much what the hell happened. I do hope that this is not because they have no clue what happened - just that it can't be their concern yet.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I finished the first series of Doctor Who last night (the new first series, not the stuff from the 60s) and I'm LOVING it. So, thank you all for the recommendation!!

'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"

The Walking Dead -- so we still don't know what became of Merle? AND, Rick and the rest RAN back to the camp!? From downtown Atlanta?
