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

There is much less talking. It's good. When you are dealing with insane people who are trying to kill you, there is no talking.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I agree! And that scene with Rick and the happy-killer con guy...I was all yelling, "Hell YEAH, Rick!"

Next week looks fun, too. I'm jazzed about TWD again.

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

What's a reasonable age difference between Elena and April? If Elena is a senior now and she babysat April?

I can't imagine Elena's more than 4 years older than April, and it doesn't seem like there should be that much of a difference looking at them (but no one on this show has ever looked like a freshman, so I guess I shouldn't put too much stock in that). Trying to imagine scenarios where Elena would be reading her bedtime stories - if April was nine and Elena was a super responsible 13, maybe? I don't know.

Is that the bad girl from Secret Circle playing Tyler's werewolf friend?

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

Yup, that's her. I want her eaten. I don't like her affect, never mind the character. I'm not sure if it's a choice she's making, but it sure is icky.

I wasn't paying close enough attention to her to form an opinion, but TVD seems to have too many characters at any given time for my taste, so I'll support her getting eaten on general principles.

I'm losing interest in Invisible Tattoo Hunter if he's all tied in with the damn Originals in some way. So tired of them.

I was actually surprised to find out the originals were coming back. So naive--you'd think I'd never watched TV before. But they're uncharismatic and irritating, so...

They need to state that you get frozen at the age you turn, because there's no other explanation for Rebecca. You steal that ring, YOU WALK AWAY WITH IT. I mean, if for some reason you don't fucking kill Elena like the heartless monster you are.

Wait...vampires aren't heartless monsters. They just have the ability to kill and rape without remorse.

(I can't believe how *fun* this show is to pick apart--I apologise to devout fans if I'm harshing your mellow--I'm doing it here because I've kind of been nudge out of everywhere else by people for whom this is their Buffy--hey, rag on Supernatural. I'm good.)

The Jillifonts in Mockingbird Lane are very cool.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Mockingbird Lane was a lot of fun.
