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.

Not aging is due to the curse, not the town. Baby boy was born in our world, so not subject to the curse. Suspect that is true of the kids in the school. Wonder if the town inhabitants that are born there are starting to notice that most of the inhabitants are not aging.

This makes sense, but time was not moving in the town before Emma showed up so that to me means nothing and no one should be able to age.

I'll probably give the show a couple more episodes. Mainly to see if they give Rumplestillskin anything interesting to do because I like the actor. However, the first two episodes only left me with a craving for hot chocolate with cinnamon.

I wonder if they're going with the conceit that EVERYONE in the town, except Henry, is part of the curse, even the little kids.

The "why is only one kid aging" thing would probably be answered with handwavium.

Maybe part of the curse makes the people in town not question weird stuff that happens?

Did anyone notice the smile on Regina's face the last two shots of the tree "pruning" scene? she was enjoying the challenge.

(Or there was slash in the air.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Did anyone see the first part of the new NOVA series hosted by Brian Greene last night? I feel like it should come to this thread, because some of the stuff they talked about, like the Holographic Principle, seems even too far-fetched for a Sci-Fi story. Whoa.

I did! But you know that. I gave you kudos in Natter last night for linking it, and then shared with Cass - well, and everyone, of course. I also blamed you for sending me down the awesome science rabbit hole for hours last night when I should have been writing or cooking instead. You know what? TOTALLY worth it. WHAT.
