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.

No, they focused on the spot of blood on the paper that blended with the ink as he signed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's a logical sticking point for me, since under most legal/lawful senses, a contract made under false pretences will not stand. Especially if someone presents himself as your lawyer, whom you have an implicit assumption that he is taking care of reading the fine print and letting you know all the important aspects of what you're signing.

Yeah, yeah, good luck suing Moloch for legal malpractice. (Where's Daniel Webster when we really need him?) Still, it sticks in my craw.

We may yet get an episode of demonic law debate.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, I don't like the forces of evil being able to pull gotcha tricks like someone serving a subpoena. It should be a person accepting a deal of their own free will that makes it metaphysically binding, not the use of their blood when they think they're signing a mobile phone contract or whatever.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

eech ... I fell asleep about 15 minutes before the end of Sleepy Hollow. Can anyone fill me in on what happened? or point me to a summary somewhere?

ALSO: They keep talking about Henry/Jeremy as the second horseman but wasn't the guy who came out of the Moloch mirror (and was presented with a sword he set on fire) the second horseman/war?

(at this point I'm not asking for them to stick to history, geography, or any known mythos ... but I would like them to be consistent with their own storyline)

The guy who came out of the mirror is an avatar that Henry controls. This lets him be both an evil human and a kickass horseman.

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

Kindred was raised, fought Death and War, then vanished into the mist. Katrina convinced Ichabod that it would be better for everyone if she stayed a recurring character instead of a regular she stayed with Death until they can figure out a way to beat him. Jenny's still in jail.

ALSO: They keep talking about Henry/Jeremy as the second horseman but wasn't the guy who came out of the Moloch mirror (and was presented with a sword he set on fire) the second horseman/war?

Jeremy/Henry/War can control the empty suit of armor, is that what you mean? So Henry is still technically The Horseman Of War, but he fights with an avatar instead of his own physical body.

Or what Jessica said with more clarity.

Thank you! I REALLY need to make sure I can stay awake for the shows I really want to watch. And SH often packs something worth watching into those last 15 minutes.

Ichabod's bank rant was an excellent Ichabod-gets-angry-at-modernity scene. You'd think those would get schticky and annoying, but he just SELLS it, you know?

ALSO, Franklinstein's Monster? Abbie, you are awesome and I love you.
