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

Poor Fargo.

I'm glad that storyline is over. It was very clever, but I can't say I liked watching Jo and Henry be all evil.

I've heard that Boris Karloff was a charming man in real life.

My Mom did not know him, but says Bella Lugosi was a real sweetheart.

Poor Fargo.

This. Also, Beverly has a helluva sense of vengeance.

She does. Not that she did not deliberately murder innocents in the first season.

And poor Holly. Though, I'm going to convince myself that she survived but with a changed personality, disappeared, took on a new identity and the name of "Charlie".

And stupid. The surrounding world and all information about it in the siimulation was under the programmers' control, so why be so obvious and out-of-character in trying to keep the Astraeus crew from doing things they logically would?

Also, why would Jo put on the big seduction act for Carter when they were both supposed to be computer-generated NPCs? Were the glitches and memory problems because Senator Wen's cohorts were running subplots for their own entertainment apart from the stuff that interacted with the real people?

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

I wouldn't put it past them! How could they resist?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, why would Jo put on the big seduction act for Carter when they were both supposed to be computer-generated NPCs?

None of the NPCs know who the other NPCs are, just to be on the alert for suspicious behavior. So as soon as Carter started acting differently, NPC!Jo went on the offensive. Presumably if the programmers had been able to watch, they could have stopped her from being SO over the top.

If nothing else, once I watched Senator Kervorkian pull the plug on Holly I'd have made sure nothing extra beyond the planned scenario was running in my area of responsibility!

I'm sad for Fargo. Glad for the rest. Sad there was no actual mission to Titan!
