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.

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

HA - I can't believe I almost forgot that Ichabod was buried alive at the end of the ep. I guess I'm just so used to these characters being able to get out of life-or-death situations with not much effort, I assume he'll be ok?

And obviously, I missed that detail from the Angel/Connor parallels because I am not that bright.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I found the Purgatory believably creepy

One of the things that bugged me was Henry going on about not eating anything in Purgatory. Because that's not Purgatory, that's the land of the Fairies. (Or the Fae, or the Sidhe, or what you will.) Don't eat in the magical otherworld or you can't come back.

... otoh, I suppose it could also be a reference to the myth of Persephone, so I'll give it a pass after all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always sort of like things (shows, books, whatever) that compile different myths from different places in their "truth."

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

I'm good with Sleepy Hollow just making shit up. Mythical stuff, plot stuff, wardrobe stuff - it's all good.

I am so in love with the fistbump. I keep thinking about it - isn't that what every fistbump essentially means? I am really me, and you are really you, and we are actually here together. Love.

'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"

I can't "like" that enough, -t.

I'm with Theo in just adoring this.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I just love watching the two of them interacting. Working together, developing friendliness ... and mocking (they snark because they love). And his voicemail messages are priceless.

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

They cast Jesse L. Martin as Det. West in the Flash spin-off: [link]

I know squat about The Flash but enough to know that Iris and her father in the comics are not African-American. It's nice to see some interesting race-bending casting process outside of Tumblr.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was pretty much planning to watch the Flash spin-off, but Jesse L. Martin seals the deal for me. Niiice.

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

What -t said.
