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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, I just started the episode after they captured the Horseman, and Abby teaches crane how to fistbump! Impossibly cute!

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

Someone over at Almost Human really misses Breaking Bad, huh?

Compassionately intolerant

Me and SPN?

Broken up.

Let me know what happens.

Enver Gjokaj has a recurring guest spot on Witche of East End, on Lifetime. It's as much soap opera as supernatural adventure. But if you'd like an Enver fix, I think Lifetime is streaming back episodes. His role starts a few episodes ago.

Sleepy Hollow got a nice writeup in TV Guide magazine. And Teen Wolf got a whole article!

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

Someone over at Almost Human really misses Breaking Bad, huh?

Heh, yeah the combination of Gareth + Acaveda + BB was pretty awesome.

The show itself is still only okay, but they do seem to have a good handle on which fans they're wooing.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Boy, the Arrow folks are pushing this Barry Allen kid pretty hard, huh? [link] (EW article on the episode tonight, with a clip from the ep embedded)

He's cute. A fetus, but a cute one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Seriously, what is he, 12? (He also seems more Wally West than Barry Allen to me, but that's pure comics nerdery speaking.)

HOW DOES THIS SHOW DO EVERYTHING RIGHT?!?!?!!

They do *CASTING* and snark right.

It's just basic facts and logic they get terribly, terribly, laughably wrong.

The birthing scene anachronisms were almost as annoying to me from a historical accuracy perspective as the Middle English idiocy. I wanted to beat them all over the head with a birthing stool.

Because books.

But it's the argument I always give -- most of the audience wouldn't know what a birthing stool is. They expect a woman in labor to be in a bed.

It's lazy shorthand that caters to the least informed, but it's also because the majority of the audience probably doesn't care very much. They're interested in the fact that Ichabod has a kid, not how he was delivered. You know?
