Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Tosh broke me, too, MM.

DH watched two episodes with me--including Fragments--with me. When he saw Ianto and Jack, he looked at me and said, "I know why you like this show--lots of Man Love."

"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

DH and I were also speculating that the final Cylon could be the Earth itself (since having it be almost any human character except Roslin would be a pretty huge letdown at this pont), in which case RDM owes the Douglas Adams estate some money, but wouldn't that be cool???

Hmm. It does have a tendency to glow when there's a lot of motion going on at night...

When I was rewatching last night I totally saw airlocked Cally floating past Orion's Belt.

I like the idea of Starbuck as the beacon. (Didn't Apollo already suggest this to Adama?)

But in what way would Cally be similar to Starbuck?

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

But in what way would Cally be similar to Starbuck?

They both unknowingly married Cylons.

Oh. Okay - I thought it was something more specific to their beings.

Do you guys think that Cavil knows who the final five are?

Oh, and speaking of Cylon husbands, I kind of adore the way Sam doesn't give up on Kara just because she wants him to. And how lately he's all "You came back from the dead! I'm secretly a Cylon! Hooray - finally we can fix our marriage!!!!" I just want to give him a hug.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Just how awesome is Ray Wise?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I usually don't watch DW on BBCA, but (1) Hubs is quite the fan of the show, and (2) I'm quite the fan of Kylie Minogue. So I saw the ep. And got the special added bonus of Richard from Keeping Up Appearances as the tour guide! I also felt a Poseidon vibe.

TW BBCA -- killing two regulars, very bold move! And Rhys learned a bit about what his wife really does, which may change his perspective next season.

One question that's been bubbling up in my mind for a bit is, and we may find out the answer soon, is how does TW choose its members? Is five a magic number? Does TW look for specific skills, or who's available, or some mix? (In other words, for example, did Jack approach Owen because the Doctor Position was open? Or because Owen was recruitable?)

Okay, so we don't actually know that there is going to be a season 3? Or - there's going to be a season three but it's going to be more like SJA?

Oh and I read a rumor that not only Martha but also Mickey would be joining TW. I assume that something that happens in season 4 of Who makes that even a possibility.
