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.

Hmph.

I still have feels.

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

Did Stiles land a kick or a punch in two seasons? He didn't, did he? It's okay. I love him for his sexy brains. And it's good that he's so light--he's easily tossed out of the way of fights.

Why does anyone put up with Jackson? I know they gave him some adopted angsty backstory, but adoption is not an excuse for being a douche. He's usually pretty nice to Danny, and he's flipping back and forth with Lydia (who has her own politeness issues), but they're decent people (well, Lydia is now, isn't she?)...why do they put up with his jackholery? I guess Danny needs to be more of an asshole, and Lydia...I don't see how she has her season 2 turnaround and goes back to him after he treats her so abominably. I mean, okay, teenaged girls, but still. Her redemption is pretty broken if she's...man, when Willow had her yellow crayon and Sam had his Impala, the other person involved was platonic. And the bond was unquestioned.

But we're asked to come around on her as well as entertain Stiles' campaign, and I don't get how he's not going to look like an actual loser or a Nice Guy if this goes on too much longer.

Good god, 22 seasons next year. I'm drunk with the possibility. I hear there are casting concerns about someone who's appearing in a network show, but I hope they don't overlap.

Oh, and their fight coordinator is for shit. None of these fights make sense.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Also, while I appreciate that they went to the trouble to come up with that quadrupedal loping thing the werewolves do, it is utterly ridiculous looking. Not to mention it would result in their hands being covered with all sorts of unhygienic crap (sometimes literally when they're racing through the woods... or the gutters of deserted city streets). Do not shake Derek or Scott's hands unless you've seen them washed recently.

Yeah, you can't be man shaped and man jointed and pull that off. I guess it's cheaper to CGI than full wolf, or that's only an option if you're born a werewolf, or whatever their mythology is. If it doesn't look stupid, it looks creepy. At least the kanima had a full transition going on.

That's going to be so much fun. I call dibs on the slush pile.

IT IS OFFICIAL!!

I'm sorry, the sheer bad ideaness of it is making me asscappy. Whoo hoo. Sorry, no, it's not a bad idea--they'll just have a lot to skim. I mean, he sees what he gets tweeted. Say goodbye to the 140 character limit, kiddoes.

I would not be brave enough to lift the 140 character limit if I were running a show where there are canonical alphas and omegas. Davis' eyebrows are going to break orbit when he gets a look at the submissions.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

A new era for TV?

Also, doesn't submitting story ideas automatically and legaly strike them from being airable? Not that fan ideas of plausible stories equals potential canon stories. But, like, isn't posting your story where the creator can read it tantamount to ensuring it will never happen in canon, law-wise? But, still, the very fact that this is even on the table is incredible.

The rules might very well say they become MTV's property.

There are rules about what you can and can't send, and...knotting looks more allowable than violence and trespassing on cursory review.

It's pretty funny.
