'The Message'


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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Maybe the bird could eat everybody, and the show could be all dinosaur all the time.

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

In W13, was the bomb fixed to the floor or something else immovable?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it was in the chair.

Could it be moved?

Yes - it was on the table when they were staring at it pointlessly, and it had been attached to the bottom of the chair before that.

Not outside of the warehouse because of the shield thingy, I think.

So why not put the bomb inside the shield instead of putting the people inside the shield?

I do not know. That seems like it would have been a better solution.

Possibly the amount of shield that could be diverted wouldn't have contained the blast? Not going to rewatch to figure it out this time.

Yeah, that second thing would be my answer. Guess. I mean guess.

OMG, what happened to the doggie?
