'Just Rewards (2)'


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.

I had to rewatch the bit where he shot the Terrier, because I couldn't work out if this was a Han-Greedo scenario.

There is probably a Zombieland rule about shooting first, and not just for the zombies.

Thrive to spite them

How can Sam Neil not know about Beauregard if he was the official doctor at Alcatraz?

He wasn't hidden away somewhere, he worked on the guards as well. So there should be records and notes and stuff with his signature.

Unless whoever is behind the 63s scrubbed the records.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Do we know that Sam Neil isn't one of the 63s?

Thrive to spite them

Yes, that was in the first episode.

He was the young guard that came over on the boat to start the transfer.

I think it was supposed to be his first trip to the Rock, which means he wouldn't have encountered Dr. Beaugruard in person, but there should have been information about him in the files and records.

Me too. The Terrier had definitely grabbed his gun.

I thought I recognized the guy!

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

I was like "Fuck, was he seriously that proactively badassed?" but on rewatch he was reacting to a clear and visible threat, although he was definitely primed for it.

although he was definitely primed for it.

As well he should have been! Those guys were cree-pee.

Also, what kind of accent did large-non-Terrier-guy have? He didn't talk enough for me to pick it up.

I figured Rick was channelling his inner Raylan.
