Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Red/Ruby is the wolf from her story, isn't she?

I assumed she was the big bad wolf from all the tales, since he is also the wolf from Peter and the Wolf. I could be wrong.

One more question, was the blue fairy the same fairy Rumplestillskin killed in the Cinderella story or was that a different fairy?

I think that was a different fairy, but I'm not sure. We didn't see her for very long and that was a while ago.

Back before we knew this, the guess was that Dr. Whale was the big bad wolf, because of being a "wolf" with women. But the name and the fact that the hospital he runs contains a lot of comatose patients, effectively swallowed, led to the guess that he is the whale from Pinnochio.

I didn't even realize that was his name. I think I'm only half paying attention when I watch most of the time.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

The Blue Fairy is alive and well in Storybrooke. She's the head nun.

So, we now know about 3 children who escaped into our world ahead of the curse, Emma, Pinoccio and Ruplestilskin's son. Since Pinoccio doesn't seem to have encountered Emma before as an adult, can we bet that the other kid might be Henry's father?

That makes TV sense.

I should really watch the latest episode before I speculate too much, huh?

Not at all -- I fully support blind speculation! Or semi-blind. Whatever.

I feel like Astrid is not going to to die, because of handwavium. Or surgery. Either way is fine.

You know, evil universe Spock was pretty honorable, so I feel like seemingly evil Bell will turn out not to be. Which is completely stupid, of course, but there you have it. My brain on sci-fi.

I kept falling asleep during my on demand watch of Sunday's Grimm, but I got the gist. I do need to rewatch to put all the disparate pieces together, though. And I think I also fell asleep halfway through my rewatch of OUaT. Conclusion: I need better rest, so I can stay awake through my rewatches. And because of health and stuff.

I think Bell will, as someone said above, turn out to be fighting against the Observers takeover.

Eureka tonight, yay!

That is my kind of logic.
