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'm intrigued by the "Your biological child? She's not adopted like mine?" and I enjoy how they rushed right past it. I had also enjoyed how they showed us the darker than her kids, an episode later showed her surprisingly white husband, and then let me wonder about it for a while... Adopted? Prior relationship? Is this some clone thing? Stupid like Dale Gribble? Opted for donor sperm from a not-matchy friend? Weird casting like Seventh Heaven where they had a kid who I spent two seasons thinking was adopted?
And if loving Fee is wrong I don't wanna be right.
On
Seventh Heaven
didn't they just keep accreting more vagabond children in that household as the older ones managed to escape the ball of dysfunction?
The original family line-up had five kids. The older four looked sooper white to me and the youngest (who seemed a good bit younger) was sort of darker with curly hair. I just figured she was adopted. I'm not sure what all happened after the first two or so seasons.
In the Doctor's personal time line, Rose was 200 years before he married River Song, and River Song has been dead/stored only slightly less time. Of course, he only had a clue how important she was when she died, having only just met her.
I've had an idea that Clara is a manifestation of River trying to break back out of the Library...
I hope Clara is her own thing. "I'm not happy," meant something. I feel like I want to do a rewatch of episodes purely for clue hunting. Fun.
I didn't dislike the submarine episode, but this last one had some great genuinely spooky/scary stuff. The way they, well, filmed - whatever - the creature in the pocket universe before we ever really got a good look at it was so creepy.
What the hell, JAR on Arrow!!!!! How did I not know this? And sadly, he's a bad guy.
Also, I'm pretty sure that's the first time we'd gotten a totally shirtless Digg.
Also, TOMMY HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?
And I love cranky Slade Wilson.

What the hell, JAR on Arrow!!!!! How did I not know this? And sadly, he's a bad guy.
Right? Yes to all that. He was badass, though. And a lawyer yet again, which amuses me.
Tommy is the best.
And a lawyer yet again
Or pretending to be one. But yeah, when he showed up at the police station and said he was a lawyer, I started laughing, and then said to Tim, "I can't tell you why that's funny." Because we haven't finished watching Angel.
t shame
Tommy is the best.
Oh, man, TOMMY FOREVER. I just want to wrap him in a blanket and give him soup.
Also, I wish there was a way to bring Slade Wilson and Cop Daddy together so they could be the show's cranky snarky Statler and Waldorf.
Speaking of Arrow. I only watched the first episode this season, but since there isn't much TV to watch this week, I'm catching up on it tonight. I just finished the third episode, and while it is very pretty it isn't really grabbing me. Does the writing improve at all, or is it all about the pretty? When does Barrowman enter the series? I'll probably keep watching through at least his first episode.
