I'm on Season 2 of Due South (which I started because of Paul Gross and the wolf and am continuing because everything else is nearly as good) but am wondering why the discussion (back when everyone else was watching it) was in Boxed Set. Is it just his father's ghost making frequent appearances or does it become more of a supernatural fantasy in later seasons? I'm not at all spoiler averse so feel free to give away plot details.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?
'A Hole in the World'
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 have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

I think due South got grandfathered in to Boxed Set because of where the show was discussed at Worldcrossing.
I know we didn't have many TV discussion threads at Worldcrossing and doe South was discussed along with the other shows mentione in the header. If I remember correctly for continuity's sake (and I don't think there was a Procedural thread right away) dS stayed here rathere than being moved.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Back when Due South was airing, there wasn't a separate Procedurals thread.
Also, originally, Boxed Set was all about the Ho-Yay, and only gradually morphed into a genre-show thread.

Would we discuss the Librarians show here? Or does it qualify as cable drama? It's not really drama, but it is cable. But it's much more Boxed Set in terms of genre. So confusing!

The last TV movie had vampires in it, so I'd think it would fit in Boxed Set.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The TV movies were Indiana Jones-lite. I'd say Boxed Set as well.

Watching Sleepy Hollow. Thinking that the Golem would be really handy right now.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, this show. Poor Irving.
I called the Henry thing, because the show's been telegraphing his redemption all season. Although maybe it's not redemption; maybe they come back in January and he's still evil, but he just got pissed enough at Moloch that he got all stabby.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I call foul on Irving! First they shunt him off to the asylum, than when they bring him back in, it's only to sacrifice him!
Orlando was one of the main attractions of Season 1! WTF show?
