You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

“Your husband is one of the world’s greatest—what’s the word—pussies.”

It sounds like that kind of pussy to me.

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

Well, it could have been another kind of pussy. I think there are at least three.

I guess it was ambiguous to get it through Standards & Practices.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wanted more of a happy ending than that for Sarah + Chuck.

But it'll do.

Oh, Nina, you are a sneaky bastard, and I do not approve.

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

Loved the triumphant return of Jeffster. The whole thing was sweet. I like that so many of the characters' endings we're really beginnings.

And then Fringe was all sad. What the hell is Nina up to?

'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"

My theory is that this Nina is a shape-shifter, just like the alterna-Broyles. Or maybe they're not, but in cahoots together.

I caught some of the Chuck finale, and thought it went off in great style and love for the characters. And yeah, what -t said: the endings were really beginnings.

I thought the Chuck finale was pretty sweet. I'm not emotionally responsive to most of the characters, but I thought they were all treated very well.

*However* Sarah's footwear made me irrationally mad. When she poked her foot out of the bag wearing those incredibly impractical heels, it changed her outfit from badass superhero costume to fetishwear. Which is all and good, but it has its place, which is not killing Quinn. By the team she'd fallen out of the plane and was walking on the beach, though, she was in more practical shoes. And for some reason that was more irritating, that they accepted her shoes wouldn't work for the scenes, but it was more important to have closeups in them anyway.

Hmmph.

Agreed! And when they went to break into "DARPA" She was in stiletto heels, but when she was inside beating up the five guards her boots had magically changed to flats.

And it's not just stilettos, but platform stilettos, which is a whole new level of precarious. Obviously Yvonne walks really well in them (and no doubt Paula Abdul could dance up a storm in them), but their tacit admission by re-shoing her before action scenes without allowing for the character do have done so---damn, people, you think she wouldn't have seen sexy in this silhouette?

It just seems like such a low opinion/high bar. Even Kate's shoes in Castle make more sense.
