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.

But there are other methods! Anyway I found that episode both creepy and amusing.

Does anyone else think that the woman in the shop who gave Clara the number is Donna Noble?

Also, what 24 year old in a developed nation doesn't know about Twitter?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, see, I was thinking Sally Sparrow.

Right? I was guessing that the joke was originally Tumblr, but they decided that was too niche.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The episode aired in the U.S. so we don't need to white font, right?

I thought it was hilarious that even brainwashed, the minions all updated their Facebook pages with where they worked. Less hilarious and more terrifying was what happened to the head honcho once the Great Intelligence disconnected itself from her. That poor little girl...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I loved Orphan Black - anyone else watch? The lead actress is just fantastic, I had no idea she was American (Canadian?) until I saw her on the Nerdist right after.

I'm so proud of the channel guys, they are turning out some GREAT stuff this year. (Sorry Copper, you were a good first try, but ultimately just really really boring.)

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

A 24 year old who is looking for "the internet" on her computer doesn't strike me as a 24 year old who's down with the tweeting. She was carefully established as thoroughly inept. How you get that way without transplanting an 81 year old mind into your body is difficult, but they were consistent with that facet.

Art Crawl!!!

I enjoyed Orphan Black too!

Jessica, is that another North America only production?

Yep, this show is all BBCA.

'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"

OB didn't sound very inviting.

Is The Nerdist going to be a regular talk show? Because I'm down with that, if so.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I need to chat with my provider because all the channels are in HD which I can't access.

But, for the longest time, I was thinking "THIS is how Clara ends up as Oswin!" and I knew it seemed too soon for that kind of connection, which turned out to be correct.

I wonder how long the "I don't take the TARDIS into battle lest it fall into enemy hands" will last? Just long enough to have the doctor zooming about on a motorbike?

The poor woman's Judi Dench made me sad at the end, with her reverting to a child who had been kidnapped and brainwashed.
