All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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

The first episode was an hour-long (in the U.K., without commericals), Christmas special. There were then 10 half-hour episodes, with 5 story arcs.

Thanks Tom! So I bet the 1 1/2 episode is just the full-length Xmas special (which I think was also why the Doctor Who Xmas episode was 1 1/2).

Hmm, they are going to be one episode light on their current schedule. I wonder what they'll do in it's place (or if they'll air one current Doctor Who en toto).

Sci-Fi channel, Vortex, Friday nights from 8-9 Eastern/Pacific time.

What they did was show the full 1 1/2 hour (with ads) first ep a few weeks ago. Then, on the night when DW premiered, they only showed the first 30-minute ep, which ended on a cliffhanger. The following week (last Friday), they went to the regular schedule of showing the second half of the 2-ep story, and then in the second ep of the hour the first half of the next 2-ep story, ending on a cliffhanger every week, which is fun!

The current story is better than the first one, which was a Slitheen story. This one is Medusa--loads of fun so far.

Sci-Fi channel, Vortex, Friday nights from 8-9 Eastern/Pacific time.

One important note - I think they are NOT repeating the eps later that night like they do with Doctor Who and BSG (and I'm not sure about on a subsequent night either).

I've been taping them for a co-worker who is currently without cable. Would you like me to send you the tape after she's done with it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I could burninate some episodes for you, too.
