Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

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

That certainly was a Walter-like move, wasn't it?

Like father like son.

Somehow Olivia and Walter will pull him back from the brink?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Fringe: Peter, what are you thinking? That certainly was a Walter-like move, wasn't it?

WTF?

I just can't.

I don't know what to think about this development.

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

So... Peter is the first Observer. How does this possibly end well?

Peter, you have to go baaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

I didn't get Olivia's "Yeah, it is that type of gun" line. Although it sounded badass.

One that can kill an Observer?

I figured that, but I don't remember when that sort of thing was discussed.

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

Holy crap, Fringe!

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

I think that was a reference to the gun that shot September. When he couldn't catch the bullet, but Olivia could?

Holy shit, Walking Dead.

(I just watched the original Dawn of the Dead this morning, so it sure was interesting to compare and contrast.)

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Yeah, I feel totally destroyed by The Walking Dead. I was not expecting any of that to happen during episode 4! That really felt like a season finale!

RIGHT? What the goddamn shit. As Zack Handlen put it:

It’s a big, bold, vicious move on the part of the writers, because at this point in the season, everyone should be relatively safe. Big changes happen in the premiere, or near the end, or right in the middle. Not in this strange no-man’s land, which on most other serialized dramas would have a lot of piece moving and table-setting. There’s a bit of that here (Merle’s chat with the Governor is pretty much a “let’s introduce a wee bit of tension between these two” moment, and not a lot else), but, well, dear lord. At this rate, I’ll be amazed if anyone’s left standing by Christmas.

Andrew Lincoln was devastating in the last scene.
