'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

One note on Lost Girl. Good episode, but also a mistake. Shows how much better a show it is without Bo. Not just the actress. Even having the characters remember her makes them less interesting. Even searching-for-daughter-I-don't-remember Eva was more interesting than all-I-have-left-is-my-hate Eva.

This makes me laugh because I just read a review that agreed with you that the episode was a mistake, but disagreed about the reason. It said without Bo, the show falls apart because she is the only one who can act in the show. I haven't watched the episode yet to decide for myself.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sleepy Hollow: they're never going to get Crane out of hiw own clothes, are they? "dry cleaning" doesn't seem to be an option either ....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Skinny. Jeans. Crane. ded

Daniel asked me why Abby tried to put Ichabod in skinny jeans. I just laughed.

Yeah, I suppose straight legged or boot cut would have gone over better.

And now that I have actually seen Lost Girl, I have to agree with Typo Boy. Give me the Kenzie show anytime. I really didn't miss Lauren either.

Teen Wolf, the mention of were-coyote made me think of the Mercy Thompson series and wonder yet again why no one has tried to turn it into a television show.

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

Sleepy Hollow: I loved the reveal about Jenny's possession (and seeing Clancy Brown again is always a treat) and how it highlighted both Jenny's ongoing inner conflicts and the sisterly bond with Abby. I gotta say though, Jenny's character development makes me worried for her longevity. I have a bad feeling she's gonna be killed off in a heroic fashion in the finale to up the stakes, and I don't want that. NO, NON, NEIN. The show's been pretty good at being subversive, so hopefully it'll continue to do unexpected things.

New Arrow tomorrow! I don't know when it became the show I look forward to the most during my week, but it has!

it's like the greatest hits of Canada, plus Manu Bennett.

Not to mention all the veteran genre actors who keep showing up. From Barrowman to Alex Kingston and Ben Browder and Summer Glau to Susanna Thompson to James Callis and so on and so forth. I heard Sean Maher is gonna be in tomorrow's episode! And apparently Nick Lea (who's been in a lot of things but who'll always be Krycek to me) is slated to show up at some point in the next few weeks. Gotta love Vancouver.

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

The show's been pretty good at being subversive, so hopefully it'll continue to do unexpected things.

It's also been pretty good about finding ways for our heroes to win, every time. I think Jenny will be ok.

More demons need to travel with human minions to get rid of the pesky salt lines.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

New Arrow tomorrow! I don't know when it became the show I look forward to the most during my week, but it has!

Wednesday is Arrow day! It's like how I used to get excited on Tuesdays because it was Buffy day.

I heard Sean Maher is gonna be in tomorrow's episode!

I read that and forgot until I read your post. It really is chock full of the genre TV actors. LOVE.
