Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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.

Even if that doesn't make much of a difference on the parent show, I am glad the coincidence didn't last.

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

The BBC mostly confirms that lost Dr. Who episodes have been recovered: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

If OUaT gives me a Cowboy Neal at the wheel of a bus to Neverland scenario I will be a happy camper.

I could deal. On the other hand, I thought Emma was denying that she was Snow and Charming's heir -- in other words, a princess.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did I miss anything important in the 1st 15 minutes of Sleepy Hollow? I was trying to make my tv work.

There was Crane's heartfelt speech about his love for Katrina that made the OnStar woman weep. And he thanked her kindly for listening to him, unlocking the car, and telling him how the entertainment system worked.

Which, read like that, sounds like a joke, but isn't.

Oh, and Abbie convinced her Captain to give her a 12-hour head start to finding her sister, and Jenny went to a bar to get her stashed Sarah-Connor gear back.

I missed a critical five minutes. Except I'm going to presume that in the end, Abby, Jenny and Icky either recovered or destroyed the book before 72 demons could be summoned. I saw that all three were alive, and I assume they did not trade the book to save Jenny's life.

BTW, some Hessians did desert to the Revolutionary side.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Abby tossed the book into the writhing flames, then her sister and Ichabod took advantage of the distraction to throw the bad guys into the the pit with the demons. There was a big swirly fire and then it was out.

Abby offered to take temporary conservatorship of her sister.

How long before Abby's sister tries to sleep with her ex?

So far then they have thwarted every attempt by evil to bring demons into the world, or in the case of the headless horseman recover the head. The only demons around are the headless horseman who Icky came back with, and the ones who were already in the woods. If this is intended to last 7 years, shouldn't the bad guys win one occasionally? Or is everything so close balanced already that if the bad guys succeed once more everything is doomed? Also at some point are we going to hear why some of the bad guys think their cause is "just". I mean arguments for Satan as the good guy are not new. Harlan Ellison are Steve Brust are among the many who have explored that. And while I get that the Hollowverse is going to explore, I'd still like to know what evil's justification is - since it apparently is a cause some of them are willing to die for. If they have an ideology and a set of principles they are fighting for that actually makes them more dangerous.

Heh. I'll have to catch that on Hulu when I have some time. He is just ridiculously charming.
