Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

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.

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!

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

t,

hold on: isn't that the same Walter from the pilot? It was just future Walter.

When Walter said the boy gave him those memories (of Peter) I cheered because at that moment we had our blue-verse heroes back!

But he also remembers the universe without Peter, right? Though I guess he could just choose not to, as Olivia more or less did. So he's functionally the same Walter, but not exactly, to my mind.

Red-verse Broyles is the gold standard for heroes. Not having anything to do with the current discussion, I just felt like saying so.

Oh, it's certainly more complex than my statement above. Nothing undid season 4, but the essence of who Walter, Olivia, and Peter were in seasons 1-3 and the relationships they had were once again a part of them for the end of the series. That is what I was cheering.
