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.

What time is Sleepy Hollow? Because if it's opposite Shield, Shield wins.

SHIELD (I know this is the wrong thread, but I'm not discussing the show content, just a factoid about broadcast) also starts next Tuesday.

What time is Sleepy Hollow? Because if it's opposite Shield, Shield wins.

SHIELD moves to 9 pm Eastern, IIRC. (Which is good, because once The Flash premieres [I want to say October 8?], it's on Tuesdays at 8 pm.)

I knew Shield had moved, it makes it much more likely I'll be able to get home in time to see it. I wasn't sure if SH had moved. I suppose I could look it up myself.

Well, it's very considerate of the networks to move these shows back so people who get off work at 6 or later have time to get home through freeway traffic to see them first run.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Okay, my first strong reaction to the second (first?) ep with Mr. Pink was Clara's comment about killing and crying after, and the in-show lack of sensitivity to that. Like it was so absurd that it was a legitimate joke. I haven't seen the whole ep, but I do hope that gets corrected later. Because as a default assumption that soldiers killing anyone, even in defense of their own lives, is a thing to treat as funny-ha-ha, is fucked up.

And for Clara to use it as flirting material and not get why it's upsetting to Mr. Pink after repeated inquiries into her questioning, which really should have made her at least take a second look at what she was pursuing, grosses me out. I can see her coming from a place of ignorance, but after the second "why?" she should have at least keyed into his discomfort and looked to what she might have said to upset him and then kicked herself for being an insensitive ass. Yet she continued to smile in mystification. Soldiers killing people, so funny.
