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.

I'm linking to this here because it has snippets of Dr. Who and Torchwood from a BBC trailer, but really it's chock full of British actory goodness, and everyone should get a taste.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Did anyone else respond to Olivia's "What's in the box?" with "The Doctor"? Just me?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Dude, Sierra's in Torchwood? Goddamn them.

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

Doctor Who Monopoly Limited Edition Limited to 5000.

Speaking of, have we ever had an explanation why Amy doesn't remember the Dalek invasion from a few years back? I had assumed that the cracks in the universe caused that part of history to be erased, but the show hasn't actually said what happened there, has it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right? That's what I said to Beau. Are you in a fucking 3rd universe now? Although, from the previews, it looks like he was kicked into the future a bit, so it might still be here, but in the future.

He landed in a universe where 9/11 happened and it's later than 2021.

I don't know what that means. My mind, she is blown, I can't form a theory. I'm just holding on to Sam Weiss saying the machine wasn't meant to be a doomsday device.

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

So did Peter end up in a third universe? Holy shit!

I didn't even think of that! I just thought he ended up in the dystopian future of our universe! I don't see why a third universe would be on a shifted timeline. I don't even know what the hell is going on. What does the Machine do, then? I thought it would just turn off or something.

Speaking of, have we ever had an explanation why Amy doesn't remember the Dalek invasion from a few years back? I had assumed that the cracks in the universe caused that part of history to be erased, but the show hasn't actually said what happened there, has it?

Isn't that what happened? I think that's what we were supposed to take away.
