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.

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

I like the doorway, it works for the show.

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

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.

Agreed. Looking forward to dragons!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Best episode so far, for sure, and not just because Bruce C. was in it -- it seemed like the characters are jelling.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm watching an old First Doctor adventure, The Reign of Terror. There are a couple of missing episodes, which the BBC has animated. The animation of the Doctor looks uncannily like the witch from Spirited Away.

Nice to see Studio Ghibli artists are still getting work?
