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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The big draw in the Kripke show I do love is character, and I have enough TV shows being watched that if no one stood out in my first watch then it's not similar lightning in a bottle to his last go round and I'm with Scola and Theo--initially no one to hang on to, too many other shows higher on the list and I didn't check again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I haven't yet caught up on everything that's aired since the hiatus, but I did love Miles. Mostly because he was always right.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hm, I don't know if there's any one character on Revolution I'm completely invested in. (They can stop trying to make Miles v Monroe happen any day now. We get it, they have a history, and don't really want to kill each other. MOVING ON PLS.) I mainly like the worldbuilding, terrible science aside - the post-apocalyptic AU North America it's built is pretty fascinating.
(I'm a sucker for a good post-apocalyptic AU North America. Hell, it's the only reason I read Thirteen even though the actual plot had me bored silly about 15 pages in.)

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Way to remind me I'm in love with a kids' show, Nickelodeon.

The status is NOT quo.

Yes! That's why I'm on board too.

I'm on board 100% for Miles.
The show improved tremendously after they came back from their hiatus this year and the focus shifted from Charlie (the irritating teenaged girl) and her angst as she searched for her brother to the rebels and the political situation and the push-and-pull between Miles and Monroe (who grows ever more insane).

A rumor that BBC have recovered a bunch of lost Dr. Who episodes: [link]
Bleeding Cool isn't exactly the most reliable source, but I've been hearing this rumor going around for a while now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That would be cool.
So, I came in here looking for Orphan Black/SCOTUS discussion. I haven't read the decision or anything, I was just curious what y'all had to say about it.
I am actually unclear as to whether Orphan Black takes place in the US or Canada.
