Weird love's better than no love.

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

It's a very Cybermen thing, now that you mention it.

Creepy effect, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I was appropriately creeped out by it in the moment, but on reflection, I didn't really like it. Although maybe because it's coming directly on the tails of my rewatching the Rose/Dalek interactions.

Sigh. I miss Christopher Eccleston.

Why is Colin in the TARDIS?

Dr. Who - Only one thing to add to other comments. Why did Oswin felt the need to justify her first love being "Nina", as "I was going through a phase"? According to Captain Jack, the human race moved beyond narrow little categories when it came to sex.

Lost Girl: After being taken by the Norn, Dyson failed to carefully consider the exact meaning the words of the prophecy that was guiding his behavior. Bo actually did ask him exactly what they wolf spirit said, but I guess there were too many big words for her to notice that nothing in the prophecy said Dyson should take point.

Also no one except Bo thought of asking for the exact words? Not Kiera who managed billions in the human world and was Queen in the world of the Fae where Queen is not just a symbolic position? Not Hale who is one of the heirs to a rich and powerful Fae family? Not Trick who was once a King himself, who makes magic by writing things down that come true? Trick was not conscious of the importance of discovering the exact wording of the prophecy they were using as a guide to their next move?

I know Lost Girl is not the greatest example every of the screenwriter's art, but this particular plot hole seems a bit extreme even for this show.

Also Kiera chooses as her last words to give Dyson advice from a thousand self-help books?

That pinged me a bit as well, but what has that got to do with Captain Jack? Do we know what time Oswin is from? Jack was from the 51st century, correct?

I sort of assumed that Oswin was from then or later or that at any rate once we get much beyond the 21st century that particular prejudice disappears.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I guess it's possible to manually just pick up and move the TARDIS instead of making it transport the usual way? I probably weighs a lot more than it looks though!

It can, and has been, moved by various peoples/creatures/creatures who are also people.

Why did you assume that? Was there a reference I missed?
