'The Message'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

I know and I can swear that I read that his character was going to be on more than one episode. I'm disappointed.

Perhaps I was confusing BB with Manu Bennett. He better be around longer than an episode!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

No, I swear I read the same thing -- it sounded like his character wasn't going to be a bad guy. (And I have to admit, I would like to know why Ollie can assume the list is always right. I was hoping this would be the episode that would introduce some doubt by having Browder's character be a good guy.)

"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 laughed out loud when Diggle made that comment about Ollie's dying dad sure having a lot of time to explain the book to him.

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

Speaking of,

Beau and I started watching Fringe from the very beginning this evening. We saw the pilot and the 2nd episode.

It strikes me how pedestrian the writing is in the early episodes and what a fucking jackass Broyles is in the pilot. I mean damn he is a jerk. it slowly turns around, but that was amazing. Beau was startled (he watched the last 3 seasons with me, but missed the first 2 apparently) at how fucked up Walter was in the pilot. He barely believed that Walter was the one we saw in the finale.

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

Both Broyles and Peter were way jerkier in the pilot than they almost immediately became in the subsequent episodes.

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

He barely believed that Walter was the one we saw in the finale.

From "I thought you'd be fatter" to "You are my favorite thing" was quite the journey.

He barely believed that Walter was the one we saw in the finale.

Well, he kind of wasn't the same Walter. Different timeline, but then he got some of that Walter's memories, maybe? So confusing.

All the Walters add up to a helluva character, though.

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

I think I may just have to go back and watch it again from the beginning. I've convinced a friend to do just that.

I grew to hate Lost, but gave JJ another chance with Fringe and I am so glad I did!
