The American writers that stopped striking weeks ago all travelled over to Great Britian and destroyed copies of the second episode before they went back to work?
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

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

Which is odd, as it's usually the networks that destroy TV episodes ....

Is episode two really the only non-arcy episode? (I think I need to rewatch.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I don't think of PD as arc-y per se, but... Olive & Digby duet of "Hopelessly Devoted to You"! Emerson's Handgun cozies! The dandelion car! Chuck and Ned kissing through plastic body bags and Emerson saving everyone with his emergency knitting needle! Whhhhhhy would they skip it? I don't get it.
Maybe someone objected to the bulimia bits?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
No, basically, they have something far more important they want to show: football. It's like when the BBC would stop showing Buffy, instead showing Snooker.
SNOOKER, FOR FUCK SAKES. ASSCAPS OF DOOM.

The "Hopelessly Devoted" musical number was the single most awesome moment of television in the last year as far as I'm concerned.

Which is fine -- national past time and all that. What I don't understand is why they'd *skip* the episode 2. It's not like there is going to be a new ep until September at the earliest, plus there are only something like 9 episodes in total. Why not show ep 2 two weeks from now?

Ah, they have 8 weeks before football starts. So they're trying to cram all the episodes in before that - they've realised they need to drop one episode, otherwise they'll have to chop the finale (or air it later).

Hmmm, well dear ITV schedulers, why don't you... just air it at a different time, or something? Why let us wait until you repeat the whole series? Idiots.
Just as well there was a writer's strike, otherwise they'd have any number of extra episodes they'd have to skip.
