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.

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

What are they going to do? Respond to fan or network pressure?

Nah, man--this is the bird flipping, free of consequence run like no other.

And you don't fire your leading lady.

Some people have so much invested in being the clever cynical one, they don't pause and think things through. I'd rather have the right mot than just a bon mot.

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

Was there ever a point at which you felt she'd left the show?

Nah, this person is smoking their own monkey crack.

So not only is the Science channel running the Firefly marathon, they're going to be running Fringe, as well.

Is Science the new SciFi?

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

As long as they don't change it to "SyEnce Channel..."

'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"

Oh -- as long as we're on the Science Channel, they're running a series of science-gone-wrong-or-at-least-awry 'recreated dramas' called Dark Matters -- with John Noble as the presenter with his really lush voice intoning the narrative.

Snerk.

And...don't give them any ideas.

TWD: The Governor's town may be eviiiiile, but at least they're listening to me about the possibility of zombie traps -- solar-powered noise-makers with conveniently placed pits dug nearby.

Yeah, I was all "Dark Matters?!" That looks spicy!

bonny, one would hope they would be smarter than that. HOPE.

Theo, shouldn't that be Eville? "Welcome to Woodbury, a.k.a Eville!"

And yep, that's a pretty damn smart idea, even if yanno...eville.

Heh. Yes, from now I vote we call it Eville.

I'm kind of disappointed that Carol's death was off-screen. The character deserved a better farewell than that.

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

I am pretty sure I saw something in the previews for next week that cast a question on Carol's death.

I don't think there's any reason to assume that no body == death ever, especially in a show like this which is fairly porny about death (although somewhat shyer about the ladies). At the very least, no body=questions about death.
