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.

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

Oooh, Fox has posted 8 minutes of Karl Urban's new robotic-cop show (not to be confused with RoboCop). [link]

Looks pretty cool, actually.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I enjoy Arrow and Shield both, but don't really think either of them are good. Which raises questions about my definition of "good" I'm not sure I'm ready to answer. Cause given it it is entertainment if I enjoy them, why don't I consider them "good"?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love Sleepy Hollow cast! The real charm of the show is the people/characters.

Almost Human looks like it'll be dreadful. I'll watch at least the pilot, though, because Karl Urban. I watched the movie Doom for him!

Love Sleepy Hollow cast! The real charm of the show is the people/characters.

Agreed. I adore Sleepy Hollow despite the historical inaccuracies, plot holes, etc. because they got me to care about the characters right out of the gate. The cast has incredible chemistry.

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

I haven't watched Arrow yet. But I'm enjoying SHIELD. And I'm loving Sleepy Hollow. I agree with Anne that Sleepy Hollow's real strength is in casting. In SHIELD Ming-Na Wen and Clark Gregg are great, but I'm less engaged when the rest of the team is on screen. And it's an ensemble show, so. But some of them are starting to grow on me, and I like it well enough to see how it develops.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel like SHIELD isn't living up to its potential yet, but Arrow and Sleepy Hollow are both exceeding expectations.

I'll certainly give Almost Human a watch. I keep mixing the title up with Being Human, though.

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

This is kind of random: A fundraising challenge involving properties filming in BC. Bates Motel (which I have not seen) raised the most, almost three times as much as SPN, which--we're the charity fandom! How shaming is that?

Almost Human came in at 5, which is pretty damned good for a show with no fanbase yet. I wonder if it was cast and crew...

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the crew for Almost Human came from Fringe with Joel Wyman.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Things have been busy, so I'm often not home until after 8:00, which means seeing SHIELD or Arrow is iffy. sigh ....

And I love the picture of the Sleepy Hollow cast (note Ichabod's posture - spectacular, right?). But how Katrina isn't falling out of her dress is one of the big mysteries.
