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 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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Jake's bowl was what the resistance and Gaeta would flip over to indicate that there was a pickup on New Caprica.

because even when they're hungry they're picky

You've never met my cat. Picky is not in her vocabulary, until she gets sick (that was Big Clue #1 when she got a fever a few weeks ago).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I was wondering if Romo is the 5th. He seemed to be going off the rails - not unlike Chief. So I'm wondering if he will be revealed as the 5th later on.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I do like your wonderings, le nubian, that Romo's odd behavior this ep is because he's a Cylon. Makes sense to me. More sense than a dead cat* causing this otherwise cool and mysterious character suddenly having a personality change where he is less collected. I had thought it was just because we got to see him alone, which I don't think we've really seen before.

Hmmm, if Romo is the fifth, then Jake the dog being given to him kinda ties him in a loose way to the resistance of which three of the final five were a part of. I'm stretching it there, I know. Gaeta should have Jake.

In other natter, my cats have decided that they like to have vegetables in their wet food.

*although I can see that if the cat was all he had left of his life, even if he hated it, losing that cat would be losing his last physical connection to his dead family, the [survivor's?] guilt comes flooding back to the forefront, etc.

I agree that Gaeta should have Jake.

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

What was the title of the episode?
