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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

something that stuck out to me was alt!Astrid callin Broyles "Agent Broyles" and not "Colonel". did they just miss that in filming/editing?

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

I finally watched the Legend of Korra episodes that are out. So good! It's just so nice to be in that world again. I am now seized with a powerful urge to rewatch all of A:TLA.

I checked that one a couple of times. It looked to me like a slip; that was def the Colonel Broyles version.

probably, but it also looked like alt!Astrid might have figured out that Broyles is a shapeshifter.

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

Jasika Nicole quit Twitter

I saw her "Twitter is not for me" tweet and thought "huh, bummer" but I had no idea there was so much drama around it.

The Red Universe doesn't have Batman!?!?!?!

Cause nothing says bad-ass like a flying rat? That whole exchange cracked me up. The writer's room was geeking out.

That is going to be one fucked-up, unhealthy relationship. THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF EACH OTHER.

Alt-Lincoln loved Fauxlivia. We never saw any indication that she felt the same way about him. Best friend? Sure. And the reference to him being a shoulder to cry on after her break-up with Shirtless Frank isn't enough to convince me of more.

Someone on MW called her Kickasstrid

I think Jasika Nicole started that.

There was some speculation at Mark Watches now that I've read the liveblog. That The Lincoln we saw delivering the shape shifter to Walter and Peter was Alt!Lincoln, and he's staying on "our" side..

Well, that would really change the vibe of that last scene, wouldn't it?

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

I would start watching Fringe, but I'm afraid it will go the way of X-Files and end up not making any dang sense.

Oh, I have no idea if it makes sense any more, but it's a hell of a ride. And X-Files comparisons are only superficially relevant.

'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"

At this point it's making much much more sense than the X-Files at the same length of seasons and plot.

Of course it helps that we've changed universes and timelines several times now so the writers don't have to worry about some small details not matching up.

Seriously, I'd highly recommend watching the series, and I felt VERY burned by X-Files. YDangSenseMV.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I second this. X-Files is a show that feels retroactively tainted to me because of how it ended up. Fringe's nonsense is a fun kind of nonsense, IMO.
