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.

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

While it probably will not top the Farscape mind switch episode, I'm LOVING this Eureka so far.

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

Leap shout out on Eureka!

That was great!

Sweet episode overall.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Anything inside a Faraday cage would be protected from EMP.

So stick your electronics inside an old Microwave oven...or a lot of them.

I assume a TARDIS corset is relevant to our interests?

'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"

Ha! I ADORE Body Switch Comedy, so I'm glad Eureka got that ticked off its Bucket List!

Points to "Zach" for the best Sheriff Carter impression.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

So stick your electronics inside an old Microwave oven...or a lot of them.

I wonder if washers and dryers would work, if you insulated the electronics from the metal.

I'm sure a lead-lined refrigerator would work, too. I hear those things can withstand nuclear bombs!

BTW, I want to give a delighted shoutout to the title of the episode, because "Jack of All Trades" is such a wonderful meta-pun.

OUAT: The one character we have not yet seen in our world is Rumplestiltskin's son. I wonder if he was the guy who impregnated and abandoned Emma? It is the kind of twist this show likes. BTW, does this OUAT qualify as a soap?

I think someone mentioned that possibility upthread. And, yes, I would say OUAT is definitely a soap.

If the speculation is true, that would make Regina's son the grandson of three of her chief "enemies", which would serve her right.
