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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, frak me! This was an interesting episode. I thought from the beginning that someone should try to actually check Starbuck's story, rather than just assume she's nuts or a cylon!

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

The two Baltars nearly did me in.

Yeah, what the frak was that?

Art Crawl!!!

I loved that Baltar was talking to Head!Baltar - so excellent. I wonder if Head!Six will start talking to Caprica?

And man, when "Wander My Friends" started playing I started tearing up - -and that was when I was at work . . . so I guess strong emotional responses would be another reason to not watch the noon preview.

Did you guys think that Helo was going to be part of Starbuck's crew? Because I thought he said something like that and it surprised me. . .unless Athena and Hera are going with them. . .which would surprise me.

In the promo - did you guys think that Torry airlocked Cally?

Watching for the second time now. Interesting that the bullet Roslin shot went into the picture of her and Adama, fracturing it.

It sure looked like it to me, something to look forward to!

I'm watching the re-air right now. Totally teared up during Lee's good-bye. Like sumi, they start playing that music, I start crying. So predictable.

Kind of loving this latest iteration of Six. "They're not here to vote." Go, Six!

ETA: Oh, my. And she wasn't kidding.

ETAA: OK, that little glance by Adama and nod by Helo. That was a "Look out for her," thing?

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

I loved that Baltar was talking to Head!Baltar - so excellent.

That was great. And it's a perfect time because, as Vonnie noted, he's acting kind of "out of character." So what better time to need to talk to himself to sort out who the hell he is and what he should be doing?

Six is AWESOME. I love that even the fucking Cylons have identity issues.

I'm a little confused about the dissenting Eight. So "Boomer" was...Boomer, the original Sharon on Galactica who shot Adama? And got shot by Cally? And then became buddy-buddy with her Cylon pals while the Sharon from Caprica became a real girl?

Trust my rage

I thought that Boomer was the one who joined with Caprica Six to change the course of Cylon culture. (I forget what they actually did now. Were the responsible for the change from "annihilate the humans" to "make them our subjects and show them the light"?)

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

P-C and Stephanie, I think you both are both correct.

Boomer had become somewhat more disaffected though right? She was kind of mean last season.

So, what is the purpose of the Final 5 then? Why would they be programmed to give the Centurions enlightenment?

Is this symbolic so the skins start thinking of the humans differently as well?
