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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I could swear that Lee reacted to 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.

Bad Wolf

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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.

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

I think this jaunt of the Slytheen was probably their best--for some reason they had menace this time. Perhaps because there was no farting? Mr. Smith going dark also had menace.

I liked Dad stepping up to the plate and helping out, and all the K9 fanboys and girls must be well pleased as he swoops in for the save. I really like this show. I haven't watched all that much YA since actual YA days, so I have no idea if it's typical of the genre--I mean, is it even A, or is it just kid's TV?

Art Crawl!!!

I don't even know if there are others kid's shows like this one. I hope that they really do film season two and that we get to watch that too

Oh, back to BSG: how much do I love that they mentioned Laird? Now we know who the new Chief is!

(Hey, maybe they'll start making a few more Blackbirds.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I just watched SG-1 "Heroes" 1&2 for the first time. Damn allergies.

I thought Galactica had some of the worst writing they've had in a long time. It's been a while since I've seen "Hero," but from what I recall at least some of the problem there was just a stupid-ass story, and I don't feel like this one was as fundamentally doomed to suck.

A scene where they explain the title? Seriously? And yeah, the ridiculous attempts to generate suspense out of who will be president when, d fucking uh. And another "we all did terrible things" lecture, and the god damned imaginary cat?

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.

See, even that. One line, funny. Then it just went ON AND ON. Dramatic irony: You're soaking in it!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

When have we seen him before?

I was going to comment on the episode, but I think Strega said it all better than I could.
