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.

Good LORD. Jordan Hinson left Eureka for greener options, and now...she's in Deliverance Romeo & Juliet Breaking Bad Mutant Swamp Placid, aka Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators.

Oh, Syfy, no.

When does Victor Webster show up? I wanted some May - November romancing...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, this is not the thread I thought it was. Sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So, I caught most of Sleepy Hollow. (My cable had problems for about 10 minutes.) I thought it was pretty good. A bit of clunky writing here and there, but the premise is interesting, and I like that they have multiple PoC. Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison are interesting, charismatic leads. I've added a season pass for it. Of course it's on FOX, so that may mean three episodes.

Compassionately intolerant

I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow as well. The scary vs. intriguing bits were in a good balance for me.

I was sad that the two actors I most wanted to see on-going didn't make it through the pilot.

Still, I agree that the leads are engaging.

I'll try it again.

'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"

bonny -- I had the exact same reaction!

I thought that it had a lot of pilot-clunkiness, but the leads are capable and it's especially nice to see a woman of color intelligently written in a genre show.

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

I completely forgot about Sleepy Hollow! I think DH has the pilot on DVD though.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I watched it ... I may stick with it as long as it lasts. I did get annoyed at a couple of anachronisms (but that's one of my buttons).

And I think they may be re-broadcasting it later this week ... Friday, perhaps.

Yes, Friday at 10. It's also (legitimately) online here: [link]
