I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Jenny ,'Bring On The Night'


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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And here I was thinking that both Nina and Olivia had been swapped for shapeshifters, because the cut at the end to the two of them in the basement made it look like they'd both been there a long time.

The cut was weird, and, yeah, maybe there are shapeshifters, but why would a shapeshifter be getting Ourlivia's memories?

I am not thrilled about her being subsumed back into the original-timeline Olivia--amber Olivia has just as much right to her own life, and I feel like it's been taken away from her.

I agree.

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

I am not thrilled about her being subsumed back into the original-timeline Olivia--amber Olivia has just as much right to her own life, and I feel like it's been taken away from her.

I am not sure that I agree. This whole timeline was artificially created after Peter entered the machine. So it is a timeline that wasn't meant to be. Further, because there is bleed over, someone has been taking advantage of the original timeline to fuck up shit in amber. If amber were amber and didn't have bleed through, I might agree, but I think viewers are supposed to view amber as a situation that needs fixing.

I have to say I'm excited for next week. Fringe people have their own timeline for telling stories and I cannot believe a storyline started in the first season will pay off like 4 years later. WTF.

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

Thursday's Vampire Diaries was complete gibberish to me. To the degree that if they do it again, it won't keep filling the "crack" position it fills right now, because it makes me too angry and confused.

I'm not a fan fan, but i has been enjoyable enough. That wasn't.

Awesome promotional stunt for The Walking Dead.

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

I'm with le nubian.

And the next two episode titles are killing me.

Fringe Answers trailer.

Wow. So I'm guessing this is how Peter learns about Henry.

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

Thursday's Vampire Diaries was complete gibberish to me.

Yeah, that was both bad and nonsensical. The thing I always liked about TVD is that the plot moves right along at a good clip whether it's making sense or not, but it's not even doing that.

Oh, RIGHT. Damn, I'd forgotten all about him! And so, of course, has everyone else.
