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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, I am going to watch them all. I'd just like to know ahead of time that, say, the particular EP I'm about to watch is considered especially awesome. If that makes any sense. (Not sure why I like to know that....)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, the premiere, "Mind the Baby," is essential in resolving the finale cliffhangers. I also appear to have liked "Crackers Don't Matter," "The Way We Weren't," "Out of Their Minds," "Won't Get Fooled Again" (which is cracktastically awesome), and the "Liars, Guns, and Money" trilogy followed by the finale.

But, like sumi said, you should watch it all in sequence!

I think "Liars, Guns, and Money" 3-parter is one of the best things they did, period, so that'd be my pick. But season 2 has a lot of excellent episodes.

Also quite a few awful ones, so be prepared for that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That might be the better way to go - list the eps that aren't good. I'm totally spacing (ahem) on what they were, but I remember there were some bad ones. I don't remember there being "quite a few", though, but YAwfulMV.

Bad/meh episodes include "Taking the Stone" ("the boringest episode that ever boringed"), "Home on the Remains," "Dream a Little Dream," and "The Locket." I have "Vitas Mortis," "My Three Crichtons," "Beware of Dogs," and "A Clockwork Nebari" described as okay/all right. And "The Ugly Truth" is "not extremely strong, but not bad."

Yeah, I thought "Vitas Mortis" was predictable, and just OK overall.

I can't find an episode listing for the DVD box set, but at the Henson site implies "Dream A Little Dream" comes before "Mond [sic] the Baby."

WTF?

Art Crawl!!!

Events in that episode happen before "Mind the Baby" but it aired afterwards (and rightly so). . . plus, "Dream a Little Dream" isn't one of the best episodes.

Epguides lists the 'sodes in airdate order - which is better.

Oh. Cool.

I'd ask for an explanation but I assume it'll make sense when I get to it?

Which is also the DVD box set order, right?
