Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

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

I wasn't a particularly huge one, and I averted my eyes quickly enough that I got only a part of it (it was some kind of article with a big spoilery heading, in the manner of "Darth Vader Reveals He's Luke's Father, And Yeah, Luke Totally Eye-fucked His Sister, Gross!") but I am still cranky! I've gone cold turkey on spoilers. I know a few speculations, and I deliberately avoided seeking out confirmation for those. Haven't gone to any message boards other than here in yonks, either. And my fucking *phone* spoils me? I mean, just because I have googled "Arrow CW" about three dozen times in the last month or so does not mean I want to know *everything* about the show! Silly algorithms!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beau and I started watching "Arrow" and I am really digging it. We started at the beginning and I'm on ep 13. I have been skimming over the posts this season, so I am unaware.

Can I just say that I have never seen so many Black people on tv. There are so many supporting characters who are African American on this show. I don't think I have seen this many Black people on a tv show since "Roots."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You should watch Sleepy Hollow as well, Le Nubian. Ichabod Crane and wife are white, but I think almost everyone else of any importance (except the germanic villains) are not white. And it is totally not a big deal at all.

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

I think almost everyone else of any importance (except the germanic villains) are not white.

And Sheriff Clancy. But that's totally a case of the exception proving the rule - I had to stop and do a runthrough in my head, to remember peoples' races - because it's never been a plot point. Which is to say, I agree with you:

And it is totally not a big deal at all.

Because books.

Is this where Orphan Black discussion goes? And if so, should I be suspicious of Cosima ? I'm only on 1.4. I think I'm also suspicious of everything, to be honest.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Amy, this is one of those shows where you can't predict what's going to happen, and trying to explain it only makes you sound crazy.

Okay then! It's so good. Tatiana Maslany is amazing.

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

Yes, you should be suspicious of everything, trust no one, you are probably being played by Tatiana Maslany right now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think I'm also suspicious of everything, to be honest.

This is a good life choice when dealing with Orphan Black. Frankly, I think there are people who we don't know are shady at the end of Series 1 who are actually shady and we should have been more suspicious

Yes, you should be suspicious of everything, trust no one, you are probably being played by Tatiana Maslany right now.

Or, you know, what P-C said.

Except Felix! I will continue to love Felix.
