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.

Oh, Carey Mulligan (Sally Sparrow) was in "My Boy Jack" on Masterpiece Classic last week.

i'm not sure it's based on anything more than wishful thinking, but then i stay out of the spoiler loop as much as possible. especially with the BBC and what they think is a spoiler.

me too! I'm just trying to determine how we feel about it. It seems to me that casting speculation is Spoilers Lite or whitefont, am I wrong?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, casting spoilers should go in spoilers lite, and I think that includes "I heard..."

Also, Jack handles being buried alive (with no COFFIN!) for almost 2 millenia really, REALLY well.

I guess maybe he got used to it after a few rounds of waking up and suffocating? (I can't think about it too much!)

Oh! I remembered something from the last episode (names escape me, the back story ep before the finale) that really bothered me. UNIT holding Tosh in a secret prison for the rest of her life with no trial. um...weren't they supposed to be good guys? I truly hope this is addressed next season. super disturbing.

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

Speculation != I heard. If you're making it up, it can go here. If someone else might have done the making up, get it to Spoilers Lite.

Two words -- Guantanamo Bay. Aren't we supposed to be the good guys?

Is what Unit did to Tosh any different than what Torchwood does to random aliens that wind up in Cardiff thanks to the Rift?

YES EXACTLY!

Also, true!!!

I wonder if it will be addressed at all?

Also, it would be nice if we saw them trying to "work" the rift so that they could start sending creatures back where they belong.

Well, that's okay because it's aliens, not people. We don't give any rights to aliens.

OTOH, I'd like to see some evidence that they don't lock up all aliens, just the dangerous ones.
