Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

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.

so he didn't revel the name, someone pieced a couple of communications from him together and are making an educated guess.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Have finally started watching Orphan Black and yeah, it's fucking awesome. I'm up to episode 4 and can't wait to get back on it when I get home.

It's kinda wacky how it ended up airing on BBC America when it has little to do with either British or American input. It's an obviously Canadian production created by a Canadian directing/producing duo, starring a cast almost entirely made of Canadian actors, and filmed in Toronto -- they haven't explicitly mentioned it yet but Alison lives in Scarborough, which is a large suburb of Toronto. I was also chuffed to see one of the creators is John Fawcett, who made one of the best werewolf movies ever, i.e. Ginger Snaps.

Tatiana Maslany, holy shit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Important: what are your thoughts on Allison?

Scarborough, which is a large suburb of Toronto

Thank You! The only Scarborough I was familiar with is New York, and I kept wondering why they were trying to act as if it was New York, when everything else is so very Canadian. I feel better now.

And yes, Tatiana Maslany is amazing.

I LOVE HER. She's my favourite.

Plus you can clearly see that the stacks of money Sarah withdraws from Beth's account are made of pretty-colored Canadian bills.

The money is the biggest indicator of This Is Not The US to me. I can usually handwave one city for another (within reason), but Allison just handing her kids a few bucks to go run in the store - so very much Not US Currency.

And this is why Vonnie is my favorite.

I think the production team has taken a wise approach to make the setting into a relatively generic North American metropolitan city, but I also like that they are not trying hard to pretend it is not Toronto.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Not the right thread, but I see Vonnie!

Vonnie- are you reading fanfic lately? And what pairings/shows? I always like what you are reading and I am reduced to reading hockey rpf at the moment for lack of a fandom.
