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"

The mere idea of Paul trying to portray several different clones makes me giggle. It's be like, a big block of wood vs. slightly scruffy block of wood vs. and piece of wood that's sorta chipped.

I feel bad for the guy because I saw the show that Wil Weaton hosted where he interviewed a few of the cast and some fans (Patton Oswalt for one), and he seemed like the nicest guy but he doesn't even have the chops to go up against the guy who plays Felix, let alone Tatiana.

I keep watching that clone dance party scene over and over and it's not to see where the seams are, it's just because it is such a WONDERFUL sequence. I love Alison's reticence to join and then she's smacking Felix on the ass. And Kira just loving it all. And Helena finally cutting loose in a way that doesn't end in mayhem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And Helena finally cutting loose in a way that doesn't end in mayhem.

But does involve chewing your skirt.

I've been on record that male clone line=Enver, and so I'm sad they went with someone familiar, even if it benefits the story. They should just have hired Enver SOONER.

You'd think between his established cred at playing multiple different roles in one series and having an actual twin who could be hired to save beacoups CGI dollars for interactive shots, Enver would be the go-to guy for clone casting needs

Matt,

He might be too expensive at this point.

Enver would have killed in that role, though the actor they got (who's name I forget at this moment) does do creepy really well, but has also shown that's not all he does.

I'm guessing Nic Brandon & brother would throw people right out of the show due to past associations. And not as talented as Enver, sad but true to say.

It just occurred to me - they have Michelle Forbes playing a character named Marion?

This can only end badly. Probably with a meat tree and a bull.

From doing what? I'd have guessed he'd be a bargain at this point, having so little on his resume of repute (whoever wrote the bio ID-ing Avengers as the first work on the list of what he's known for...har...sob). He gets around, but the little places. And I bet he's woefully underused in most of them,

Teen Wolf: It's early to have an opinion for sure, but I like the way this season's group of kids has gelled, and the road trip in the first episode may be a smoother way of incorporating Mesoamerican mythology than last year's sudden dominance of Japanese legends. I do wonder how everyone and their dog know what Lydia and Kira are when they themselves had no clue until recently, though.

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

Mmmmm, Enver clones. Such a delicious idea.

Sorry, got distracted.

I am too overwhelmed to actually comment on the episode just yet, I think.

Oh, except - if Prolethian daddy knew that Mark was a clone, what are the odds that Grace's (and, I suppose, Helena's?) babies are fusing the two lines?
