Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now. That ending was kind of beautiful.

The sound during the interrogation was... wow... seriously unnerving. I'm going to take a stand and say I don't like that observer.

Excellent, albeit creepy, use of Markham, beautiful family reunion, and heartbreaking backstory for Peter and Olivia.

I concur with all of that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I want to watch it again. Walter was all kinds of heartbreaking in this one.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now.

OMG Yes!!! That kinda killed me, child of the 80s that I am.

And yes, Walter was all sorts of awesome.

Oh, Observers don't breathe well with too much oxygen? Remember the bald feral child they found in season one? Who couldn't breathe when docs tried to give him oxygen? Hello, callback. I hope we get to see some version of that kid.

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

Ooh, I only vaguely remember, but that's very cool.

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

As far as Doctor Who goes, I'm okay with that. Despite his point of view, it isn't all about him. They got to be together for the rest of their lives, and it's sad they lost a friend, but they had each other, and presumably constructed rewarding lives, just somewhen else.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, it's about as happy an ending as could reasonably be hoped for.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am agreeably non-traumatized.

A bit teary, but not traumatized. I think Moffat did well on that one.
