'Sleeper'


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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm wonder what they plan to do about the meteor that killed all the dinosaurs.

I thought it was an alternate timeline or something of the sort so that they could do whatever they wanted, including not messing things up for their own futures (pasts). At least that is what I read when I first heard about the series.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I'm just pretending I'm watching Land of the Lost from the 70s. It's pretty good that way but I want to warn them about the sleestack.

The teenage girl said that in exposition to her brother, sj. They can do whatever and it has no effect on the alternate future.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm too busy nitpicking a "quarry" of "meteoric iron." How obliging of the meteorites to all fall into one place.

That's another thing that is like LOtL. When she opened that trunk of rocks, I was thinking now they just have to find the Pylons.

Alternate timeline! Problem SOLVED.

Also they apparently went back 85 million years, so they've got a while to plan before the meteor becomes an issue.

Also, SHOW PRETTY.

Oh, Jurassic Lost. Please don't get crappy right away, ok? Stay fun for a little while?

I was thinking this when the Sixers were contradicting that it was an alternate timeline. How do you set anything in motion and expect it to stay on the rails for 85 million years? Who knows at this point who is the reliable source of info in the show though, and why did I start thinking about and questioning this show? Just watch and enjoy, Theresa.

Maybe the quarry is on the site of a naturally occurring alternate timeline giant magnet that attracted all the iron meteorites.

I was thinking this when the Sixers were contradicting that it was an alternate timeline.

But if this is true, then I can't write off all the nonsensical stuff by shouting ALTERNATE TIMELINE! in my head. You can see the bind I'm in.
