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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

No, basically, they have something far more important they want to show: football

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?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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.

Ron Moore's new show.

Ahhhhh, got it. You know, if they *had to* drop one episode out of the 9...

Aw, man. Can't do it. It's like Sophie's Choice divided into 9 equal parts. Like Fiona said, they could have done a two-hour thing on one of the nights (they do this stateside all the time) or aired an additional episode on a different night or something.

They are silly.

Wait - are they going to miss KC singing "Hopelessly Devoted"? (Or was that in the pilot?)

If so, I believe that the TV viewing public should rebel.

Perhaps pieing the tv executives. . . or something.

Man, Ron Moore has stepped out of the 80s, hasn't he?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Set up through Universal Media Studios, "Virtuality" focuses on the 12-member crew of Phaeton, a starship that leaves Earth on a 10-year exploratory mission. The ship has been equipped with state-of-the-art virtual reality modules that let the crew escape their constrained surroundings. Of course, when things start going wrong with the virtual reality, there are serious repercussions.

Soooo.... It's like a Star Trek Holodeck episode stretched out over an entire series?
