Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

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

You mean the hackery stuff? That part I knew. It's the fighting and the weaponcraft, etc, that I look side-eyed at.

Man, I paid attention to the ep at the time, buy now I'm not sure if you might be referring to something else.

That's what I meant. I just thought you were implying that Chuck just wasn't competent without the Intersect.

No, just that he wasn't a competent spy. He was in Stanford for Comp Sci, wasn't he?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The "Piranha" bit felt too retconny. All this time he's been a legendary hacker and this is the first we heard of it? Or had it been mentioned before?

Once Upon a Time: I can't believe that they killed off the cute hunstman/sheriff with the adorable accent. Sad that we (probabaly) won't have any more hot sheriff/deputy kissage.

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.

Well we have unambigously seen magic in our universe. And Emma is going to figure out that Henry is right damn soon. I'd think next ep, but flashbacks could delay that.

So, was it significant that Evil Stepmother's father was named the same as Henry? Does that mean that Henry is really the father of Evil Stepmother making Emma her grandmother? Snow her great grandmother and her husband her great-great Grandfather?

Don't ask me why this popped into my head except that it seemed like they lingered on the shot with the name on the sepulchre (is that right?) overly long.
