Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

the vampire kid's naive and awkward delivery while trying to be cool and hip was precious. And the ghost was adorable imitating his Missing poster. Love the dialogue (yes, everything sounds better with a British accent) but the humour and the writing was so sharp. And the scope of the school was impressive with the amount of students being students.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What I love about Chuck is that they know where the top is and like to go over it.

What an awesome episode.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What an awesome episode.

This is worth repeating.

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

So Being Human US is definitely going different places from UK.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

What an awesome episode.

I was just coming here to say the same thing. I was cackling with glee at parts of it. And I think I applauded when Chuck's plan came together.

Also - "Push It" in a maternity ward? Way to go, Jeffster! Stay classy.

Seriously, Tom. You nailed it. My jaw was on the floor at just how much fun this episode was at times.
