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.

oooh, good point.

I can't remember: what happened to the original Bell from the Red side?

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

Red-verse Bell was said to have died in a car crash as a young man, before ever meeting Walter. Of course, it was Bell who told us that.

I like the way this week's Grimm twisted Cinderella. Pretty cute.

Anyone still watching Awake? I'm behind, but I just watched "That's Not My Penguin" and I am so impressed with this show. Of course it's probably not getting a second season, right?

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

I've been watching it. "That's Not My Penguin" is definitely one of the best episodes, but I'm not sure I'd continue watching even if it did get renewed. It's not really living up to the promise of the pilot for me.

I'm still liking it, but I don't have much to say about it. I'm not sure it's got answers ready for all the questions it raises.

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

I agree with P-C. I'm still watching the show, but can you imagine what they would do in Season 3?

That's fair. The hints of conspiracy I've seen so far have been my least favorite parts of the show and I expect that would eventually become a bigger part of the story. I'm just getting really caught up in the psychological stuff. Kyle Killen may be my new writer to watch.

The conspiracy is stupid and annoying and weakens the psychological stuff, which is definitely the best and most interesting part of the show. The procedural aspects are also sort of irritating because at this point the "connections" between the cases are so flimsy and incidental as to be completely arbitrary, which I guess is fine if they use the dream-logic excuse, but it's like...is that the one trick you have, show?
