You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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.

Outcasts is the colonization one, right? With Hermione Norris? because that I'd watch: she's awesome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

find it hard to believe that the Doctor went another 200-something years without regenerating. He must have had a very boring time of it. Unless he was lying, which he might have been, as a way of warning them somehow.

Well he went around 500 years on his first body, so....

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

It's pretty uneven. She's cool, though. But it's not really very sci-fish there for a while.

So what have you been watching Bamber in that you're over him? Or is it just BSG?

Well he went around 500 years on his first body, so....

I'm guessing we know that's his first body, right? As opposed to where things pick up?

Well, It's been canonically stated that 11 is number 11 in "the Lodger," and in "The 11th Hour" they showed Hartnell as his first image. He's been shown as the first doctor in most references, and in the first season, the doctor said he was about 450 earth years old.

There are, as usual, some discrepancies here and there.

Just BSG, yeah. I blame Moore, really: the end of BSG left such a bad taste in my mouth that it extended to much of the cast as well.

As for Callis, I loathed Baltar, and his stint on Eureka didn't make me like him any better, I must admit: the character was sleazy and I thought his accent wasn't very good.

So I look at District 17 with a bit of a jaundiced eye; I'd be happier if someone other than RDM was producing it.

I think I'm the only one who rather liked the finale of BSG.

I despised the end of BSG, but it doesn't affect my view of any of the cast. And I fault my dislike of Baltar entirely on the writing. I don't care whose charisma you throw into the role.

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

I loved Bamber on L&O:UK. Looking forward to 17th Precinct, but I am wary of the speculation in that write-up about "a long-term plot about the nature of magic vs. science". I very much don't want that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I think I'm the only one who rather liked the finale of BSG.

I didn't hate it, but I can see why other people did. Baltar was badly written, I agree.

I didn't see Outcasts. I should catch up. Also with Misfits.

Clarification edit.

You are a better person than I am. I also can't read Orson Scott Card anymore, either.
