I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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.

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.

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

Well, there's a blue and a red world - maybe Peter ended up in the yellow.

I haven't seen enough of season 3, so I may be completely off-base here.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah. Same reason she didn't remember what had happened to her parents, and any number of other little things. Presumably, it all came back at the same time her parents did.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I spent the Fringe episode loving Astrid. I hope this means she isn't going to die.

P-C is me. It reminded both TCG and I of the end of the SCC.

I kind of wish you hadn't brought that possibility up, Theo.

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

Well, at least it's only a 6-hour (or so) difference instead of, what was it last year? Two weeks?
