Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

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

Cape season finale not to be aired on TV.

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

At least they're going to release it. I wonder when in the process the order was cut to 10? Early enough to write in some approximate conclusion or not?

I never expected the show would do well, but it has grown on me. I appreciate the style. Live action comic book can't be easy on a TV schedule.

I believe they were shooting it when NBC said "Yeah, you can stop there." I don't think you should expect any closure.

Damn. But I'm glad it is going to be out there. The end of this week's episode was far too cliffhangery.

Also, AMC is going to run a The Walking Dead marathon on March 4th. And it will include sneak peeks of ii The Killing.

I'm backed up on both Justified and The Chicago Code, and yet I stay caught up with V. I must be infected or something. Do. Not. Get.

For the record, I dropped my V season pass a couple of weeks ago. You're in this alone now, Frank.

Sadly, no. TCG and I are still both watching. This is all TCG's fault, who is not quite ready to quit the series yet.

Well, I'm still watching too.

Hmmm, maybe I can blame my cat.

I don't remember dropping it from my queue, but it's not there and I don't really miss it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I really wanted to like V, but I hated the main character. I loved Morena Baccarin, but she wasn't enough. And then Jane Badler came, and I thought that would save it, but no. And then Marc Singer, but no. It's just too different (read: not as good) as the original and I think that many of us are feeling that.
