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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Anyone else watch 12 Monkeys or the second season opener of Helix?

I'm kinda meh on both, but I'll probably keep watching for at least a few more episodes.

I haven't watched any of Helix, but I did just watch the 12 Monkeys premiere. I liked it enough to stick around, or I at least liked the actors enough to stick around, especially the ones from Nikita.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Neither of those shows are BBC.

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

Oh! I just assume all British shows are BBC. Which is probably like assuming all American shows are NBC.

Europeans do the same thing in reverse - it's amazing how many news clips in French documentary TV shows are labeled "CBS copyright" no matter which network they actually came from.

Okay, I wouldn't have guessed CBS as our television emissary to the rest of the world.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Downton Abbey is one of those shows that your local library will almost certainly have the DVDs of.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

That's true, and I just renewed my library card so I have no excuse.

My local library suports Matt's contention.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks, dcp, I forgot 12 Monkeys was starting.
