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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Shouldn't Jack and Ianto been the only ones who could get in?

When they were having sex? Oh, they so totally planned to get caught at some point.

No, I mean when Gwen first found the facility on the island. She said that her authorization was Torchwood something something something. You'd think that it wouldn't work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Torchwood

The whole island thing was great foreshadowing for Jack getting back bug fuck crazy Gray.

The Captain's Blog entry for this episode is interesting.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's only "getting caught" if you don't want anyone to walk in on you.

And while I agree that Rhys keeps Gwen grounded in a real world, he needs to realize that she isn't working a 9-5 job. And that she can't know in advance when 5 will be 7, or 11, or next Wednesday. Though she should have called him so he could make other plans.

but her job may prevent her from doing that. Better way to deal with it would be for her to call to confirm plans. If she doesn't call, then it's off and he can make other plans.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Re. BSG: Bear McCreary is still doing the music on the show, right? I've noticed at least two distinct pieces of music that sounded new to me -- the disconcerting (and vaguely Middle-Eastern-sounding, which is an interesting choice) dark string theme played when Tigh was hallucinating his assassination of Adama, and the tinkly theme played when Baltar first sees his Camp of Acolytes. One episode in, I'm already chomping on my bits to get the soundtrack.

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

(and vaguely Middle-Eastern-sounding, which is an interesting choice)

Well, the version of "All Along the Watchtower" he used was vaguely Middle Eastern-sounding as well. Did you catch that he incorporated snatches of it into the score during the scene with the four of them discussing the Raider's retreat?

You can buy a dinner date with CKR - part of a Canadian charity fund drive.

And Bear McCreary blogs about the music in 4.1.
