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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Bwahaha! I'm watching Buffy on Hulu and was just given a recomendation to watch the Highlander series. Like: "Erin! Most people who enjoy Buffy also enjoy this show!" Then a trailer. Hulu's marketers are really good.

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

I just did a rewatch of Fringe.

Opus the Peahen! Someone has probably already taken a screenshot and compared it to see if it's pulled from an existing Bloom County strip, right?

The look on Lincoln's face when Walternate confirmed the Olivia swap was so stricken. Seth Gable rocked that scene and the birth scene.

Any guesses on baby names? Peter or Henry would be way too easy. There was one shot with a sign in the background that said Oliver, but that would just be weird. How about Storm (William Bell's "a storm is coming")? Storm Dunham, future meteorologist and potential destroyer of worlds. Or William (for Mulder's father).

I'm a little punchy. I should stop.

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

I had to pause the DVR and stand with my nose an inch from the TV so I could get a good look at Opus the Peahen. I think the art was from an existing strip (ISTR Opus having a nose job at one point and looking like that), but the reference to Lindsey Lohan couldn't be from Bloom County, could it?

Baby names: maybe a male version of our Olivia's niece's name (which I have inconveniently forgotten)?

I didn't know that I needed to know the answer to this question, but I absolutely do.

-t, my money is on green. If I can ever catch Wyman on Twitter again I'm gonna ask. Maybe I'll get a "Ha. Green!" out of him.

Male version of Ella? Hm. I don't think we know if Ella is the full name or a shortened version.

Hm, Ella would be hard to masculinize. Maybe not.

Green does seem more likely.

Opus the Peahen [link]

It doesn't match anything in the Sunday Best anthology. I have to stop before I spend all night reading Bloom County and Outland.

[link] says the strip was "tailored" for the show by Berke Breathed. Not sure what that means.

Cool! "Tailored" to me suggests altered rather than "created for" which is what I expected anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hm, Ella would be hard to masculinize. Maybe not.

Eli is hands-down the most popular boys' name in Brooklyn right now.
