Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'


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.

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

'suela, I may be right there with you. I'm loving this show. I would like John to be a little more savvy and a little less teen-angsty, but otherwise it's pushing all the right buttons.

I hope they go some place unexpected, like having the FBI guy ending up on the run with them or something. Next week looks intriguing. The only thing is, what do we refer to memories from a man from the future as - "flashbacks" or "flashforwards"?

Heehee heee!

I loved Garrett Dillahunt as FBI-Terminator guy. Really, really off.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is EMT ex-fiance guy ever going to wonder out loud why John doesn't look 8 years older?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. I figured that's one of the things fucking with his mind since he first saw PresentTimeButNotAnyOlder!John, but he hasn't said anything yet. Not that he's had much opportunity to....

Oh, anyone wanna place bets on if/when EMT ex-finance guy's wife gets terminated? Ya' gotta feel bad for her, but then again in this EP she was annoying....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Furthering reinforcing my crush on Kavan Smith, here's a great extensive account of his Q&A session at Pegasus 3.

I am chuckling that I voiced concern about the SGA producers deciding to kill his character via malfunctioning Ancient bidet about a week before that account hit the interwebs. Looks like it would take more than that to do away with him!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Torchwood and Doctor Who showrunner RTD: "I'm sorry to say this, all the science fiction producers making stuff in America, they are way too engaged with their fandom. They all need to step back."

Easy enough for him to say: by the time his stuff airs - it's all been shot so what would be the point anyway?

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

My god. I had a major insight about a Boxed Set show, but I didn't want to come in here yet because I wasn't up to date with SCC. Now I can't even remember which show it was.

Might have had something to do with sex though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So, Torchwood ?
