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 do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

so i just made a friend who has very similar tv tastes as me watch Life on Mars. he said and i quote, "Life on Mars was good. Not great, but good. Don't know if I would have stuck with it if I were watching it on TV, just like the remake.

Sam was too much of a righteous dick. Gene was great, but I don't know if he would have been enough to keep me around."

basically, i had to restrain myself from saying whaaaaaaaaaaaaa? i told him i'm going to have to rewatch because it's been so long since i watched. i don't ever remember seeing anyone say Sam was a righteous dick though. i'm kind of baffled!

Teen Wolf: Does anyone know who played the guidance counselor? She looked familiar.

Bianca Lawson, known in these parts as Kendra the Vampire Slayer. No, she hasn't aged a day since 1997.

Hangs my head in shame for not recognizing her. I was thinking, why is the guidance counselor a teenager herself.

It's probably harder to make the connection without the Rastafarian Leprechaun accent.

Another big thank you to ita for the Stargate sale link. I am currently reveling in the Nox and loving every minute of it.

That's right. I said it. I heart the Nox. That's the way I roll.

The very young do not do as they are told.

bonny, have you not watched SG-1? You have lots of fun ahead of you! Plus, the awesomeness that is Teal'c. And, eventually, Cameron Mitchell, the ultimate SG-1 fanboy.

bonny, have you not watched SG-1?

Oh no, I totally have. It's just that my love is so pure, I can watch it over and over.

Since it's been off rotation on Hulu, I haven't seen it in a while. Soooo. I'm squeeing over the dvds.

I fell into watching SG-1 because Theodosia stayed with me one weekend and had to see the current episode, which was some season 6 thing with Jaffa and Tok'ra. It was entirely impenetrable to me, but somehow that got me interested (possibly Jack O'Neill was hot) and I started watching the SciFi reruns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jack O'Neill remains the only male character who can compete with Dean Winchester in terms of me loving them through even when they write the character inconsistently, because he's just *so*...so very when written probably.

In my head, they spend lots of time together--if not our O'Neill, maybe his younger clone.

Oh, my. I had not followed that thought through properly. This might preoccupy me more than Dean/Stiles just was.

Heh. I forgot about that toaster I earned.
