Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


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.

IIRC, T-Dog's first name was Theodore.

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

You're right! I remember that...from a wiki.

At the beginning of the episode, I thought, "Hey, look, they're getting a new black guy. This means the other black guy is toast."

Sure enough.

There can be only one.

It's a mid-season finale, there's a huge raid on Woodbury, somebody has to die per television rules, and he was the most expendable character.

But hey, they added a new black woman, too! We'll see how long she lasts until Michonne decapitates her or something.

(All that aside, it was a good episode, and gaaaaah that ending.)

(The Governor is a so much more interesting character on the show than he is in the comic. I mean, I like him in the comic too, but for very different reasons since, well, he's almost completely different.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

OUAT:

1) Hasn't Regina figured out yet that letting Rumple talk her into things never works out well for her?

2)OK Mr. Evil Dude Rumplestilskin - given that you just tried to kill Emma, when she is suffering low self-esteem issues why talk her out of them?

3) At the very end, when everyone was going out to Granny's for burgers, did it really not occur to anyone to invite Regina? Snow, at least, was raised as royalty; wouldn't she know enough about basic interpersonal politics to consider trying to keep Regina sweet? The rest are not raised to either royal or office politics. (Well except Belle. She is a merchants daughter. But she suffered longer than anyone at Regina's hands.)

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

Why was (Temp-Dog, as he still is in my brain) more expendable than the other prisoner? He could just as easily have had those lines with Carol, if that's the differentiator. He isn't creepy enough to live?
