I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The "dry run" on Chuck was unbearably sweet.

I loved the twist ties.

Not sure what I think about Morgan being the new Intersect, or this whole freelance spy thing, but I'll give it a shot.

Love that both Timothy Dalton and Linda Hamilton lived to possibly return in future episodes.

I know, right? Makes me feel like such a sap.

Timothy Dalton has been fantastic in every version of that role.

'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"

It was such fun to see both Dalton and Hamilton having such FUN with their roles -- Dalton getting much more to do. He is, after all, playing mostly-sort-of Chuck's step-Dad.

Wasn't the Intersect stuff something that couldn't be given to just anyone without their brain freezing up? Or am I thinking of Stargate with the Ancient Knowledge thingie?

Torchwood: apparently Starz has aired a new teaser with actual castmembers in it. Zap2it had it but it's no longer running but they also talk about rumors that there is going to be a Torchwood web series starring Eliza Dushku and written by Jane Espenson.

Interesting, no?

Teasing "Torchwood: Web of Lies," Espenson writes that she has "faith" in the project and that "it's tru" that there's "an echo" of her past work. For those of you in the know, these are the names of the three characters Dushku is best known for playing on TV -- all three series ("Buffy," "Tru Calling," Dollhouse") of which Espenson helped write and produce.

Wasn't the Intersect stuff something that couldn't be given to just anyone without their brain freezing up?

I think they fixed that but there were still problems with the last round of non-Chuck intersects. I'm fuzzy on the details.

Nikita has been renewed.

Yay! I only started watching with Kristen's episode but I went back to catch what I missed of the season and am totally sucked into it now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay for Nikita! Me too, on the Kristen sucked me in. I have a little tivo'd I need to catch up on, though.
