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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Re-watched Man in the Yellow suit.

I am now quite certain that Wells is time looped, but maybe not in the same spot in his timeline that I thought he was.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I saw a "friend of a friend" post (I'm pretty sure) on FB wherein the poster realized why she remembered the actor who played Barry Allen, and I thought, "Huh, I wonder whether I've seeing him before," so I clicked on the link.

Now, I was pretty sporadic with Glee back when I watched at all, but I totally remember Sebastian! He was such a smarmy ass! Let me just say that my admiration for Grant Gustin's ability to -- well, act -- just multiplied (from a pretty high place to begin with). In Glee, I just hated that kid. And in The Flash, I find him unfailingly likeable and awesome. So much so that I didn't even recognize him from the prior jerky character. Nice.

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

So very much this. It's not like I watch Arrow for anything above Ollie's neck. But Flash? All him and Det. Allen.

Oh, and the doorway is what John said replaces driving, because it's hard to do right (SPN) and easy to be boring (X-Files). He's very aggressive about the page counts and time passing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like the doorway, it works for the show.

Yes, I think it's thematically appropriate.

Apparently the execs didn't understand how the magic works. So that little speech Larroquette gave about intent and such was actually blown up into a multipage paper. It worked!

Arthurian excesses aside, I love me some John Rogers.

Unrelatedly, did you guys see that a Walking Dead actress tried to kill the president: [link] ?

Only got 18 years for it too. Dear lord.

Anyone watching Ascension? I've only seen the first episode, and it's wildly inconsistent. But at the end of the first episode I found myself willing to either watch the rest, or to get answers by detailed spoilage (not asking for that here, I can check IO9).

Does it get better? I'm assuming the acting doesn't suddenly improve, but is it worth it?

D'you think Tricia Helfer can act, or has she just found her one face?

If you haven't watched Ascension yet, don't.

I don't think it even deserves breaking down beyond that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Anyone still watching The 100? Really weird character stuff this season.

The Libarians was fun tonight. I liked the take on different forms of Santa. And Bruce was a hoot.
