'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.

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

Love this photo of a swashbuckling Amy [link]

She's holding a sword and wearing a pirate coat and hat, along with a miniskirt and pinkish-red tights.

Same outfit and sword, no background: [link]

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

Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller talk (a lot) about writing.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Thoughts on the new season of Dr Who:

- Since River had stomach pains in the first ep, and so did Amy, perhaps it's River+The Doctor's child, transplanted into Amy, as the Silents have more access to Amy.

- As for Rory falling out of the sky, I have this childhood scenario in my head: maybe some mean boys tossed his hat into a tree, he went up to get it and fell right in front of Amelia, maybe aged 10-12.

- There must be a Silent in my refrigerator, because I keep looking in there and forgetting what I saw.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I think the existence of Silents explains a lot about my life.

I was thinking the same thing. I think lately they've been telling me to stay home and watch TV.

Wow. I've discovered what will make me break up with The Event. It's "I'm so tough, hot, and tough" Sarah Blake (or whatever she's called--the gorgeous chick with the cheekbones) not taking the shot when Ritter Jr. told her to. Because she has feelings, as opposed to what she told them in their abortive heart to heart on the plane.

For some reason that's the really stupid thing the show did.

ita, but girls are weak and can't be trusted to do the tough things, don't you get that? Sheesh!

Lawrence Miles wrote a postscript to Day of the Moon:

"You actually said you should kill us all on sight? Into a mobile 'phone? Christ, why didn't you tell them to shag your sister while you were at it? It doesn't even make sense within the context of the dialogue, you twat!"

"Look, I'm sorry, all right? I was just... y'know... trying to sound hard. I wanted them to know we were going all the way with this. It's not like I meant to RUIN ALL OUR PLANS FOR WORLD CONQUEST."

"You're doing it again, Barry."

(Folks who generally like the show probably shouldn't browse around there much, but I thought this was funny enough to share.)

SJA ends with Lis Sladen. As is perfectly reasonable.

I'd have been appalled if it hadn't.
