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.

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.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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

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.

doublepointed needle knitting in the round thing

That sounds HARD, dude. Also, pats self on back, I figured out how to cut and paste using a Mac just right then. Awesome.

Oh, so tired. To bed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I expected Owen to kick it (and for real), but Tosh? Damn. That just seriously depressed me.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Scifi is going to air the second half of each SJA at 7 pm Central and the first half of the new story at 7:30 so that each week ends on a cliffhanger.

Really? I thought that they were showing reruns at 7c and new episodes at 7:30c. But The Futon Critic agrees with you.
