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.

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

Is the assumption that werewolves turn people by accident? I'd assumed that it was a deliberate fuck you choice, not a fight he couldn't finish. No, not a recruit move, because she's not supposed to choose to live that way--I'm assuming he's bargaining on pretty much what we saw.

Without the flash of her eyes, though. Which is why it wasn't a particularly good idea, but it did seem like a Derek idea.

God, just thinking of the piss poor job he did tying his pack up that same night--Derek, love ya, but you need to hire Stiles as your personal assistant, and you can go back to being a (but not the) pretty face.

Man--was there any "we're on a break!" Scott/Derek? I'm not remotely interested in reading it, but I have to say I'm pretty impressed if that *never* took off, not even for a smidgen of inbetween with all the "Scott, you can't be with Allison and be a wolf" and the snarling at each other and the fights and them being the only two (for a while) who could really go all out with each other.

Call me burnt by Supernatural, but Allison would have been fridged (if given that much respect) in so many ways to have those two knotting each other butts, I don't even...

Hey--I have only read a few shippy Teen Wolf pieces, none of which had knotting. It well-represented?

Going for the threepeat:

It's hard to see how other people are watching things, sometimes. I got into a discussion with someone who felt the Argents were somehow isolated or small town, and Derek was part of something bigger than just Beacon Hill. He's a part of a larger supernatural world, but the Argents are a handful of family hunters.

Whereas, I see a kid playing house living in ruins, trying to recreate a family around himself, and the Argents represent something bigger in time and space--they go as far back as Louis the umpteenth, as far afield as France, there are other families, there are rules, there is enough influence to install a principal...how is blundering Derek who is bested by Stiles when it comes to raising a puppy reflecting a larger world? He's small town Beacon Hills, not the people who had a werewolf weakness named after them.

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

Wow, that's amazing and wonderful.

That's a lot of fun. NASA is for science and stuff, but that explains why people were watching Curiosity touch down all across the world. Because, really, so many of us want any of that.

Very true. I was certainly thinking about Curiosity while watching the video - it's all tied together.

Yep, same here. That was the closest we could get to something like this.

If it had ended with anything Curiosity-related, I might have had an allergy attack. Close call!
