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.

And she might accidentally on purpose kill someone later.

FTFY, as they say.

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

The emmys have lost all meaning as far as I'm concerned

This implies they had meaning. Can you point to when?

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

So... anyone else watching The Dome?

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

I liked the first episode, but then things quickly went downhill.

I'm still hooked. I'm wondering what the odds are that Big Jim is just going to shut the door and leave her in there.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

When The Office won... oh wait, that was the Golden Globes.

They seemed to have dumped a technically sci fi-ish premise on a every-week's-a-bottle show.

IO9's evaluation of each plot point this week as (because dome!) was pretty on track with my reaction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tom,

I had been watching and after the 2nd episode I was still mildly amused. And then I read an interview with a showrunner I think. I can't remember if I mentioned it here or not. Spoiler follows that you may all have already known, but it was a shock to me, that's why I'm putting it in white font:

Apparently, the showrunner is interested in how their society develops as they live under the dome for weeks/months/yrs. I am not interested in this. at all. And the more I watch the show (I'll finish the season) the less I am interested in this. I guess I thought this was a mini-series, not a potentially several seasons series.
