Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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

It's gotta be Baltar's baby.

Six and Baltar have been apart way too long for it to be his baby.

How old is Saul?

Doesn't matter - he's a guy.

How tough is it for a Cylon to get pregnant?

Before Sharon, they (Cylons) thought it was impossible.

It's not so implausible for Cottle to have discovered a pregnancy - if he's running blood tests it'd be pretty hard for him to miss her hormone levels doing the wacky.

I liked a lot of things about this ep, but the maneuvering it took to get Lee inaugurated was pretty agonizing. And the payoff to the Lee v Romo angstfest is...Romo gets a dog? Sreiously?

But I loved everything to do with Adama and Tigh. Tigh's little eyeroll when Adama said whatever it was about "we learned a lot about you / weren't the same man who came back from New Caprica" was PRICELESS. Best facial expression EVAR.

But OMGWTF LEE AS PRESIDENT? SERIOUSLY??? How can anyone think this is a good idea? Have they MET Lee?

And while I'm on the subject, Adama, WHAT THE FRAK? You're leaving TIGH. IN. CHARGE. This is a BAD. I. DEA. It doesn't matter how much you love Laura, LEAVING TIGH IN CHARGE OF THINGS WILL NOT END WELL.

And we're all agreed that D'eanna's talking to Anders in the promo, right? Nice try with the fakeout, promo editors, but come on.

Definite fake out.

No, no, the payoff is we get to see Jake the dog again.

I know - what was that cat we were seeing? Or are we meant to think that weeks have passed?

I think the cat was Romo's equivalent of Head!Six. He was the only one seeing/talking to it. The real cat was rotting in the carry-on bag.

Must re-watch. I could swear that Lee reacted to it - even though he was talking about not seeing. (How did he not smell it?)

I thought he had as well. He at least reacted to the empty food dish he kicked on the floor, which I had thought was odd.

I believe he said something like. Do you ever feed this thing, where is it anyway, and Romo avoided.

Which, as a cat owner with several half-eaten dishes lying around the apartment, because even when they're hungry they're picky, indicates that a cat has eaten sometime recently, not that they're being starved.

I guess Lee and the writer of that line doesn't have experience with cats. Silly.

Cereal.

So, Romo seeing his dead cat: post-traumatic-stress projection, or Cylon projection?!

It was actually quite fascinating seeing Romo with his glasses off. They literally and figuratively took the shades off of him. So wasn't expecting that. I was also quite happy to mentally exclaim "Lampkin!" and not "Badgerses!" when I saw Mark Sheppard back on my screen. Good character.
