I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Stupid: It's what's on TV this fall.

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

TVD is entertaining me again. For some reason, I find the scenes of Elena vomiting blood extremely amusing. And invisible tattoo guy is interesting.

I can't keep my vampire lore straight - in this version, does holy water do anything?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Apparently not, given Damon's entrance to the funeral service.

eta: Unless the daylight rings address that as well - but I don't think so...if the daylight rings were like the Gem of Amara, then wood and vervain wouldn't hurt them either.

And on TVD, is it just me, or did everyone think that erasing April's memory was a dumb choice? I mean, sure, give her a little vampire blood so she doesn't die, but then have her go to the cops with the story of the SOB who stabbed her at her Dad's funeral. I think if the human authorities, as well as the resident vampires, were after him, he wouldn't be blithely sitting in the diner assessing which of the few humans left to torture for info next.

He said something about it, that it was always funny, something like that. I didn't completely catch it, I was distracted by noticing that he crossed himself in the Orthodox fashion rather than Catholic. I couldn't remember if anyone used it as a weapon or not.

Yeah, erasing April's memory seems like it could cause problems down the road, but that was more abot Elena being able to glamour her (or whatever they call it. Too many vampires with different lore!)

Orthodox? Was that when he went right to left instead of left to right? (I just thought it meant that Somerhalder wasn't raised Catholic, or Episcopalian, etc.) But, yeah, I'm thinking in this 'verse vamps can still be Christians/Catholics.

Yeah, right to left. I'm sure it didn't signify anything, it's just something I notice, whether I want to or not.

On Friday, NBC is airing the pilot for its Munsters remake, Mockingbird Lane, which it didn’t pick up for a series.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Is that the one that Eddie Izzard is in?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is that the one that Eddie Izzard is in?

Yes. I keep hoping it will do really well, and they'll change their mind about picking it up. I do know there is not much chance of that.

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

Colin was in the running for that until *way* far into the running, so of course I hope it tanks in flames.

That's just how I roll.
