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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Thanks for that, Tom. I didn't realize it had been 20 years. B5 was so important to me. For one thing, it's the reason I first got on the internet in '95.

Thrive to spite them

Wow. I'm so sorry that Michael O'Hare had to do deal with that level of mental illness but I'm so glad that JMS and others were so supportive of his health and well being.

"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

It feels like vindication to me - I always liked his adult, somber portrayal of Sheridan better than Boxleitner's arrogant fratboy, and bristled when other watchers talked about O'Hare being fired for stiff acting as if that were a given.

I liked his performance so much more, too. Though I did not end up being a long-term fan of the show, he really was my favorite part of what I did watch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In retrospective, O'Hare seemed really medicated in his comeback two-part episode.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not a single chance in hell :)

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

That's in Spoilers lite. And since it is a spoiler easily guessed by reading your question, I'd spoiler-font it.

The network will/has announced it, but there's no rule in place for when it can be discussed in blackfont here. It will be before the event itself.
