Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

Weirdly, I've just come upon an alternate universe episode that I don't actually remember. Given that I pretty much have the eps memorized, this amuses me. Perhaps I'm in my _own_ parallel universe.

Jack's a peach. It does crack me up that various characters are consistently contrary about things like pronunciation. It's a neat quirk of character building and directing.

Example: O'Neill insists on calling the Snakey folk "Gooolds"...like the mustard...while it seems the 'correct' pronunciation is "Go-Ah-ULd." I'm pretty sure he says that word roughly 10,000 times and never wavers.

And Bra'tac? Rules. Period.

Bra'tac is awesome. It was sort of horrifying to see him in the pilot of Continuum as a terrorist mastermind, responsible for the deaths of 30,000 civilians.

You just nailed why I don't watch that show. I was thrilled to see him working, but couldn't reconcile the characters.

(Plus, it's massively derivative and uninteresting to me.)

Anyone want to do a W&P for Korra this weekend?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wish I could! I'll be on the road, though. I dunno why the summer fundraising trip is not involving more Korra-watching time scheduled in.

Lost Girl: Why did Trick decide not to tell the Ash about the Bounty hunter. This shit wasn't their fault - why take the blame?

How did the Ash not know that something was up? The body switching must have been pretty obvious. I guess that the Ash didn't retaliate against the Dark because the guy was crazy?

Also so Bo is the great and powerful Kissaboo? Even on this show I must have misheard the name.

I thought it was Isabo?

Also was I supposed to recognize the severed head the Ash was talking to? Or is it a mystery we will learn about later?

I thought that it was the Ash, which seemed to suggest that whoever almost got assassinated was an impostor.

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

What Vortex said, I just forgot to say it myself.

I'd like to do a w&p for Korrra, but I can't guarantee I'll make it. Saturday mornings have a way of getting away from me.

Tom,

I am out of town, otherwise I would totally be up for it.
