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 a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm enjoying The Cape. I tend to have it on while I'm doing something else rather than really watch it attentively, but it has some fun moments.

I think the key to enjoying the new Wonder Woman will be to engage in some mental editing so every time a character says "Wonder Woman" or "Diana Prince" I hear "Power Girl" or "Karen Starr" instead.

Well, that and copious amounts of booze.

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

Adrianne definitely doesn't have the rack to be Power Girl. Christina Hendricks does, but she's way too short.

That's pretty much what I'm doing. Although I find it kind of funny that the plot for one episode's plot seems to be stolen from Kung Fu Panda.

It's not in reaction to Palicki's casting, but the script details I've read. Which makes me ponder whether Kelley has coincidentally "improved" Diana's story for public consumption in a way that is eerily reminiscent of Power Girl, or if this project was originally conceived as a Power Girl series and then he did a find/replace on the names when Marketing pointed out that WW is a much more recognizable brand.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The preview for the next Fringe is fucking chilling. [link]

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Wow, that's... something. Also, rather spoilery for the episode: I had had no idea that little Peter was trying to kill himself. Unless he was somehow thinking that the lake would send him back to his real world.

No wonder Peter had such a bad relationship with Walter. But I'm surprised he doesn't seem to remember much of this.

Tell me that's not another dead black witch on VD.

Also, why are we having a musical interlude? Is this Buffy?
