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.

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

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

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

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.

Maybe Desmond is in the hatch punching in the numbers.

Sure you can. See, it's Sid and Marty Kroft's Land of the Lost and this is really Saturday Morning. It solves everything.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was pleased that they thought to work around the big paradox (i.e., going back and changing everything). Obviously didn't occur to them that they'd be screwing up someone else's future.

And how convenient that the nice, gentle, plant-eating dinosaurs come close enough to get friendly with but the mean, vicious, predators only come out at night and only seem to have a taste for cute, underdressed teenagers.

Art Crawl!!!

I hope that they know to avoid any red, green, black or other Crayola colored meteor rock.

To be fair, the slashers mainly went after the fully clothed boys.

It's pretty and the dinosaurs are good. But it is kind of like Lost ... with no hope of rescue.
