I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

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

Damn 'Suela, that is harsh. Probably not wrong, but harsh!

I dropped "Dawson's Creek" soon after the first season, so I am neutral on Pacey and JJ as an actor. I hadn't really considered whether I thought JJ wasn't the strongest actor in the world, but you might be right. I thought he did pretty well when he came back and had to deal with which universe he was in.

What's funny is that in Season 1, the viewers got the impression that he was really not a nice person. Now, his bad past is somewhat forgotten.

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

26-episode seasons for AtLA was probably too many, but I'm thinking the 10-episode Korra seasons are too short. It seems that they're trying to pack too many things in each episode,

Yeah, although your numbers are off. A:TLA had 20-episode seasons (except for the third), and Korra has 12-episode seasons. But I had the same feeling, like SLOOOOOOW DOOOOOOWN. I'm loving it, but it would be nice to not have this entire Asami/Mako thing in one episode.

It's one thing for her to see images of Aang, that makes sense--but why Sokka and Toph?

Well, if she's reconnecting with Aang and sort of seeing through his eyes, it would make sense for her to see the people important to him.

What's funny is that in Season 1, the viewers got the impression that he was really not a nice person. Now, his bad past is somewhat forgotten.

Well, yeah, there was a lot of characterization in the first few episodes that got dropped very quickly. Like, Broyles was a huge dick in the pilot, and he softened up almost immediately.

I see what you mean. That was dense.

I don't quite know how to react to Fringe. Gonna have to wait and see what happens next, I think.

It's always interesting when the character develops in a way the writers didn't expect, and they have to redeem the character some way. Boyd from Justified is another character like that.

I'm not sure Boyd has been redeemed. We (the audience) like him. But if you think about what he *does*, he really is still a bad guy. I'll discuss this further in Cable drama, but probably not tonight.

I keep hearing differing reports on whether they're actually screwing around with the schedule.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Anybody manage to find Korra:1x04 online?

Nick doesn't seem to be posting the episodes online anymore, but I found an ahem in the Bay of Pirates.

Yeah, I haven't looked in such places. I was hoping the legit channel would stay open.
