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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

vampire detective - who knew that THAT would actually get enough shows to become its own genre?

No shit.

Of Moonlight I've only seen the one ep and came away quite unimpressed, so I have no comments on the rest of your post.

The show didn't set itself apart from the rest of its genre, and it's not an automatically compelling genre that means I need to get my vamp detective fix one way or another, dammit.

Moonlight: Oh, I would totally watch it for the fun and not take it too seriously.

SJA: I didn't have trouble following her perse - just couldn't get what she was actually saying in terms of words. (Does that matter?) But they had ZERO explanation as to why she and Maria were no longer friends. Perhaps they're going to different schools? Also - I would love to know whatever brought together Maria's parents. They just don't appear to have anything in common.

The expanded Time Crash bit was so charming! (I'm on a Mac right now and and I can't figure out how to cut and paste. I feel so inept! And everyone who could help me be ept is asleep. Woe.)

OK, those are interesting points about Cally. Then that would mean that two Cylons could reproduce, eh? Interesting. Yeah, Tory was enjoying her spacing of Cally a lit...ot too much. Freak. I mean, yeah, she annoyed me, too, but seriously! Kara is boring me to tears right now. Am interested to see how Lee and Roslin end up. Be a little sad if they ended on bad terms.

So sad that the Sixes and the Sharons didn't realize they were flying into a trap. C'mon, Cavil suddenly sees the light? Tchyah. Ah, well.

Ooh, over at TWOP a couple people mention seeing Orion's Belt in the scene where the basestars jump in to massacre the 2s, 6s and 8s AND in one of the Cally scenes. (Where she's looking out the window.)

At this point I'm hoping Being Human gets picked up for the novelty of a vampire lead character who works at a normal job sweeping up and has no connection to law enforcement.

Oh, and for some reason I wasn't very strongly affected by the deaths of Tosh and Owen on TW. I don't know if this means that it wasn't well down. .. that it was overly telegraphed by last week's episode or that I was too distracted by a new knitting project to really feel it.

What did you guys think?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was gutted by their deaths, sumi, so my only conclusion is that you have no heart...

My heart was consumed by trying to figure out knitting in the round with doublepointed needles.

Well, Owen clearly couldn't go on forever. . .although I didn't expect him to go that way.

I don't know. Last week's episode certainly demonstrated that Torchwood staff have a shorter than average lifespan.

It was the knitting! Had to be. I had the tears, you see, so it must have been the knitting.

Ha!

This doublepointed needle knitting in the round thing is so damn cool. Try it - it's totally excellent.
