'Objects In Space'


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.

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.

I mainly like the worldbuilding, terrible science aside - the post-apocalyptic AU North America it's built is pretty fascinating.

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).

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

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.

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

I think Orphan Black is unclear about that too. I read some article somewhere that early episodes have some NYC references with the police but all the location references seem to be Torontonian.

Art Crawl!!!

I am unclear on that too. I mean, it's filmed in Canada.

Have they filmed season 2 yet?

If so - then probably not. If not, they could possibly make some changes.

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

I think it's obviously Canadian, but our TO office loves it's "American vibe" so...yeah. I think the show is deliberately vague about location so it can make up whatever geography it needs.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I agree Revolution is set in an alternate universe with different physics.

A place where cars, and buildings, and roads degrade at an exponentially faster rate than they do here.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

My problem with the location of Orphan Black is that the architecture doesn't look Northeastern US to me. Like, that townhouse Beth lives in? I don't see it.

So I'm on the Toronto-as-setting train.

Which reminds me, I need to finish watching the last two eps!
