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 are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I was also half expecting the male clone to turn around and be a Felix, I have to admit.

I would have completely lost it if that had happened. That would have been an EVIL season finale, over one that was already pretty evil.

I was scared to shit that they'd killed Cosima off though.

Tatiana continues to amaze. I don't know HOW they pulled off the dance scene, or even the conversation later with Sarah and Cosima with the hand contact, etc. The effects crew are sure going above and beyond.

Because books.

They really are. The scene with them in bed also made me a little teary.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I am a little miffed that no one seems to notice when Helena is not there. She's not exactly a wallflower, so you think it would make people wonder where she's gotten to.

Yeah, and considering has nowhere else to go -- that they know of -- it did strike me as odd. I was expecting Kiera and Cosima to notice at least.

Kiera especially, since they seem to have a serious bond. But Helena is a known...eccentric?

Does ANYONE think Rachel is dead? I expect her to be back next season rocking a major grudge and a styiling eyepatch.

Obligatory snarky remark: Well, Paul just got 100% more interesting. Of course 0 times...

I don't think Rachel is dead. I mean, for one, the other doctors were supposed to be back any minute, and unless it pierced something vital in her brain, I think she'd only loose her eye.

I loved the scene with Cosima and Kiera, but the actual eye-maiming of Rachel was the one thing that happened a little too neatly to be really believable. Who could guarantee Rachel would be standing *right there*? But I can handwave it because I love this show!

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

I was also half expecting the male clone to turn around and be a Felix, I have to admit.

I was worried it would be Paul.

Rachel will be back next season with an eyepatch, no doubt.

I called the cipher in the book!! Hell yeah!!

I *think* the liquid nitrogen tank is a freezer full of embryos she stole from the ranch before she burned it down.

Oh! That would be excellent.

I was worried it would be Paul.

I wondered that, too, for a minute, but I thought it would take some retconning.

I like that Gracie is out there with *her* clone guy, and carrying one of the embryos. That will be an interesting thread next season.

That would make a lot of sense. Poor Helena - she really is so feral that I can't imagine her just staying put for the night. Mrs. S has a lot to answer for, as she seems to know.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Also, WTF Helena? I don't understand where she's going (or the tank of nitrous) or who took her.

I think Helena was sneaking out to go find that guy she was dancing with at the bar. She dropped his hat when they took her.

I'll be very interested to see how good Ari Millen is at multiple roles! Hopefully he's as good as Tatiana!
