I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It seems stating the obvious to say I didn't know that, based on my last post.

t edit And I have no sense of time, because I would have said Scott Pilgrim came out only 3 years ago, which is obviously not right.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Back to Flash, I guess getting stabbed in the chest was a better fate for Simon Stagg than being turned into giant mutant monster with inappropriate thoughts toward his daughter.

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

Her haircut is AWESOME.

Yes, I love it!

I'm really troubled by the fact that, for 2 episodes in a row now, there has been NO SALMON LADDER.

Also this.

I am pretty shallow right at the moment I guess.

Liking the Flash very much, although I don't really have anything to say about it just now.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

A friendemy on "Arrow". "People running around shooting arrows and stuff is great. And then the Arrow opens his mouth."

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

It seems stating the obvious to say I didn't know that

Superman?

Chris Evans was also a superhero before Scott Pilgrim (FF4), so he was just keeping on keeping on.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

...and clearly I didn't remember that, either.

I retract my former statement and substitute this: "Hey, Scott Pilgrim sure likes to use superheroes!"

(Seriously, if I ever knew, I forgot. And yet I opened my big mouth anyway. It's a thing.)

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

I never saw Brandon's Superman movie, but even after seeing him on Chuck, once I saw Scott Pilgrim he's ALWAYS been "Todd the Vegan"

Seriously - "Chicken cordon bleu isn't vegan?"

I'm just now watching S1 of Sleepy Hollow, and I can't believe they had Clancy Brown for the pilot and got rid of him so quickly. If you have a Clancy Brown, you use your Clancy Brown! (My reaction, unsurprisingly, was "Lex Luthor!")

OTOH, if a show is willing to kill off Clancy Brown's character in the first 10 minutes, that's kind of ballsy and badass.

(I still can't believe I didn't watch this last year.)

The status is NOT quo.

A few moments I’ve loved these past couple of weeks: Ichabod’s reaction to the two men holding hands in the coffee shop...because hat = rude! Also the headphones moment this week.

And on OUaT, I loved the moment when Hook explains how little he knows about using cell phones.

I think the bulk of the Sleepy Hollow people are the Fringe people, and I will follow them to HELL if they want me to.

I ended up having huge (but different) issues with Lost and Alias, but Fringe managed to work it out just right in its batshit crazy way. IMO.
