Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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 was thinking of the chamber at Hogwarts that appears when Dumbledore's Army needs to practice.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So these people just managed to find this huge area hanging about, suitable for Baltar-worship?

Yes, and that food supply everyone forgot about, and some spare water, and they've hacked into the unsecured wireless O2 supply of their neighbors.

You must allocate those fleet resources carefully! There's a Baltar Altar to light, you know!! (Although, how funny is it that it's made out of Christmast lights that don't blink in sequence? Maybe they'll drive Baltar mad before the end.)

BSG 401:

What I can't figure is this argument that the 4 new Cylons "always were Cylons". Because if that's true, how did they manage to not get blowed up in the original attack, and survive long enough to get themselves placed on Galactica? I can almost handwave that one by saying that there were multiple copies of each of them, and they're each sufficiently stronger/smarter/whatever better than ordinary humans that they'd (a) have a good chance of surviving and (b) end up in positions of some authority.

Except... then there's Tigh. Tigh's gotta be in his sixties. And the last Cylon war ended, what, 42 years ago? Tigh was already in the military when the Cylon war ended, and there weren't any human-form Cylons then.

So... Tigh can't always have been a Cylon. He's a changeling--but the other's aren't? I'm so confused.

The Room of Requirement.

There were probably a jillion copies of each, strategically placed all over the universe, such that at least one of each had to end up in the fleet. (Although, really, what kind of cracked-out luck is it that two of them worked in the same Dunder Mifflin butt-end of the military instillation! I need to take those guys to Vegas or something.)

I mean, we've already established that this universe is sorely lacking in facial recognition software. Somewhere, on a different ship in the fleet, four other Final Fives are sitting around right now going, "Wait, are you sure??" Except they're in food service so they're all wearing hairnets.

The Room of Requirement

Is that the name? I was sitting here wracking my brain, unable to come up with the right term. Thanks.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I don't know how official and set in stone this is, but apparently I was wrong about Torchwood - they're on about moving it forward to the early evening slot and cutting the episode order for next series. Boo.

Tigh was already in the military when the Cylon war ended, and there weren't any human-form Cylons then.

I don't think that's ever been explicitly stated by anyone in a position to know. It was implied, and certainly that's what the humans think. But...all of this has happened before. I think the Final 5 are the First 5 (and predate the Centurion models by a lot).
