'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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's weird that they let him retain his outer clothes while under psychiatric observation. When I underwent that, a nurse had me change into scrubs first thing after I was shown to my cellroom.

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

There could be weapons hidden all over that.

In fact, I demand that there are!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

they could put him in something like this

I'd like to think that he wouldn't wear anything that's 50% polyester.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Having said that, I had a long conversation with a Whovian buddy the other day in which we both sang the lament of our people. "Why can't we have Russell back?"

This is not the lament of my people.

For the record.

(I think Moff, for all his flaws, has a much better grip on what makes Doctor Who Doctor Who than Rusty ever did. Plus, Ponds.)

Scola! WONDERFUL CONFIRMATION! Though I see it doesn't seem to say how many, or which, or anything other than some exist. ARGH! SPOIL ME, BEEB!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was thinking about that! But he's going to look so different without his vintage threads!

Me too - though I wasn't thinking the coat would be a problem, I was wondering if there'd been a side trip to Target that we didn't know about for new "small clothes" & stockings, and where they might get a new foofy shirt (short of costumers & reenactors), 'cause even after only a day or so, those would become pretty important, I'm thinking. I would, however be very sad at the loss of either the coat or the boots.

I liked his "try not to be such an easy target" to Abby.

That was awesome.

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

Does anyone have any opinions on The Tomorrow People?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just discovered it's a Phil Klemmer joint endorsed by Diane Ruggiero, so that bodes well, although I won't be checking it out because I can't handle more shows.

Apart from the earworm? I actually know nothing about it and would appreciate a Buffista opinion or three.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

I watched the original Thames series on Nickelodeon in the 80s. I don't remember much about it.
