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.

There were also witch-burnings in Sleepy Hollow, which is even more of an anachronism to me. But, eh, alternate universe in which there are witches like that and stuff.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow, though I kept getting annoyed at them making it seem like a much bigger town that it is.

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

The number of inhabitants was picked straight from whatisname's Revelation.

Nothing bothered me more than the Hot Topic witchy outfit. It seemed...unlikely.

The IO9 recap is one of the best of theirs I've read in a while: [link] I want that person on SPN, so I don't write my own and get bitter.

Is that supposed to be a flashback to Ye Olden Times? Because wow, not historically accurate at all. Cute, and probably good club wear, but still. No.

My babygoths are trying to convince me to watch Sleepy Hollow. Should I, or will I grind my teeth a lot? Because I know that I'll be grinding my teeth during the NBC Dracula, so I should try to minimize my deliberate seeking out of cranky-making things.

No, we actually saw her in an appropriately cover-y blouse with her hair up and in a mob-cap (that's what we call those poofy gathered hats, right?) in the scenes in 1700-whatever. My conjecture is that because he's her husband, she can appear to him (that was her appearing to him in a dream, BTW) in a top that brief and with her hair all loose - he'd have been the only person to see her like that in life. That's my handwave, and I'm stickin' to it.

But seriously, it was better than I expected. You'll probably enjoy it.

I liked Sleepy Hollow a lot. It's my first new season pass.

Although the woman needs to buy a damned hair brush. It annoyed me that it kept falling out of her ponytail holder. I despise that whole sloppy hair and clothes to make a beautiful woman seem "practical" or "tough".

So she had that kit somewhere? Those pieces are appropriate components?
