It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think it was left purposefully vague. The possible father, to me, seem to be Nathan, one of the newspaper men, or the man who sent them back in time in the first place.

Sarah seemed pretty conscientious about her nursing duties, so I don't think the third is very likely.

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

Did her sister exist in the world without Peter timeline? I thought she didn't.

She did exist and was still married and had TWO kids.

I'm wondering if it's going to be relevant.

They haven't mentioned it this season. I kind of wonder if she'll have to thrown down with Peter to get the tech out of his head and if Walter will whip some up to help her out.

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

Sarah seemed pretty conscientious about her nursing duties, so I don't think the third is very likely.

Maybe, but she also seemed extremely devoted to him, and the look in his eyes when we saw Audrey seemed to imply he was very fond of Sarah.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Too many universes!

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

The IO9 review is saying that when Duke got Roy's blood on his hands he learnt that he was Troubled. I'd been assuming they already knew, and not just because of the conversation they had at the bar about killing his grandfather and removing the family's Troubles.

I'm vaguely remembering a moment in a previous episode where he worked this out.

Does anyone else? I mean, the ending convo didn't sound extra theoretical--I mean, the only think in the air was whether or not the Troubles would end, not if he was touched by them.

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

I thought they mentioned at the end of last season that she used up most of the Cortexaphin in her system by coming back to life.

Otherwise, I would have hoped that Etta would have shown some special skills from being exposed to Cortexaphin through her mother.

Blocking the Observer mind reading seemed like a pretty good special skill.

Man ST:TNG The Inner Light just never disappoints. So moving. It ranks in my top five list of best/favorite hours of television. FF Out of Gas and BSG 33 are in the top five, too. I'm not sure what my others are. Oh, well, Community Remedial Chaos Theory, but that's only a half hour, so I guess I get a bonus half hour slot to fill.

I'm not sure what else goes on the list. Anyone?

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

He just wants to make sure we weep with gratitude when they actually do reach a good place.

You are right about that. And with Fringe, we will be very very grateful.

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

Okay, I just caught up with Haven.

For some reason, it did not occur to me that the father of Colorado Kid could be Nathan! I thought there was jut a lot of snogging action. I would be thoroughly amused by this for some reason.

I just want to know if the CK is troubled.
