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

I thought they were going to introduce a male clone from a few episodes back. I think naming the project "leda" gave me a clue that more clones were out there - one set likely male.

I am so relieved it isn't Felix that I don't know what to do.

Well, I'd definitely not count your chickens at this point. Who knows what they will do in season 3. I mean a show that has Alison and Donnie hot to trot after (and because of!) burying a body, and Tony macking on Felix, is basically capable of anything.

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

The creators talked about choosing the male clone, and they thought Felix was too obvious, so they went a different direction. Also, Mark was supposed to die in episode 6, but they liked the actor too much, and also they were trying to pick a clone, so that worked out for them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought for sure it was Paul, because of Castor and Pollux.

That's where I thought they were going with the Castor thing too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just realized, when Maslany plays Rachel, her hair is a different color and cut. If that's a wig, it's a good one.

Apparently, they attempted a close cropped wig for Tony, but they couldn't make it work. I guess the clone department gets better resources than makeup.

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

I can't remember much of my mythology beyond that they were twin sons of Leda and Zeus. What's the connection to Paul again?

The writers are pretty good at retconning stuff, I think. If they didn't fix on the Mark actor as the male clone until after they shot the first few eps, then the notion of the military placing Mark as a plant among the Prolethians and Paul in Dyad must not have been decided until the middle of the shooting schedule of the season.

Project Castor, Paul = Pollux. Paul X!
