'The Message'


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.

I admit, I'm like most fen, Stiles love is large and strong, and Scott is my second favourite. But Lydia has come along hugely since S1, and since Allison has nothing to do and Boyd is dead...she's a respectable third. Go team Isaac! Try and compete!

Isaac is growing on me, I'll admit.

I like Stiles, just a little less than I like Scott.

Of the non-top-three in my book, I have a sick fondness for Peter. He's my favorite Hale.

I have zero favourite Hales. They all drive me batshit.

Isaac is a charmer (and a good guy) and Sharman's all over my dash. But damn Sinqua and his other show ways--I wanted to learn something, anything about Boyd to love more than his stalwart demeanour. Killing him just felt like acquiescing to real world resource constraints.

I was frankly surprised they brought Sinqua back and featured him as much as they did this season what with the other series gig, so it was kind of a bonus. Though it's galling that Boyd got T-Dogged just as we were learning hints of backstory and seeing him be proactive in making strategic plans. And we were already running a significant deficit in the pretty+able to act department this season by trading Gage Golightly for Adelaide Kane and Colton for the Zoolander Twins; this development is Not Helping.

at least I'm glad that Lydia and Allison are both getting more agency this season (with actual sense-making motivations in the latter's case!), and that the Tylers seem to have stepped up their acting games somewhat.

Lydia's motivation/powers/story don't make much sense to me, but she's sharp and funny. Allison seemed to have more to do when she was dating Scott (or about to). But it's good that she showed up in Gramp's room. I am optimistic about her.

Oh, poor Jennifer. I still think of her as at-least-she's-better-than-Amelia, but LOW BAR.

At least with Jennifer the question is why did Derek get so uncharacteristically interested in her so fast, not how could anyone possibly be interested in her under any circumstances.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I was amused by the proposed #babyDerek hashtag, but I'm pedantic enough that I think it should properly be #puppyDerek.

Also the girl they had playing his young love interest was so very pretty.

She recurs on SPN.

I....I liked Talia. She is my favourite Hale.

I dislike Derek and Peter more.
