'War Stories'


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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Peter's absence changed things for both red and blue so it is a different timeline, not a different universe. I think it is confusing because of the way different universes have been explained. It's hard to define the difference between a alternate timeline and a alternate universe.

I don't think Peter needs to split the universes/break the bridge, but after his trip to the future I could see why he'd see the machine as the solution to his timeline problem. I still wonder how involved the Observers were in his non-existence.

Man, would the hiatus have been until January 13th even if they hadn't delayed by two weeks?

I don't know if the return date has changed, but I do know one episode that was supposed to air this month has been bumped to Jan.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't realize that was Root's real wife -- she was great.

It was a very emotional episode, one of the best they've done for that kind of drama.

Here's something I didn't notice. [link] I'm inclined to think that is JJ's ring, not Peter's.

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

I agree. He was naked as a jaybird days before. Where would he get jewelry?

Yes, continuity error not a plot point.

I think snogging was as far as it went. I hadn't considered that he might be the other Blackwell offspring, kind of assumed that was Fay. It'd be really fucked up if it was John Connor.

On Fringe, I am doubtful that Peter is right that he has a home to get back to. And I think he's incrementally winning Walter over by being someone Walter wouldn't mind having for a son.

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

I think it would be cool if it were the black chick.

Shoot, I can't remember what we know about her parents.

Now that I think about it, Faye would be about the least interesting answer. Hopefully that crack about her mother being crazy about Blackwell is a red herring.
