'Out Of Gas'


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 look more rad than Lutheranism

I think they're being discussed in Premium Cable.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ah. Thanks!

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

Phew, caught up on all of these, finally. That took some doing. Mostly too much stuff happened to try to summarize my reactions, I'll just jump in with the next episodes except - iZombie is so much fun! So much to love, although I wish they would drop the voiceovers.

I don't think iZombie needs the voiceover intro, because (1) the opening credits cover the same ground as the voiceover (and are way cooler), and (2) I am so sick of the trend of TV shows having a voiceover intro (I am looking at you, Arrow and Flash) (and Agent Carter).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think that’s a CW mandate.

Ha! I would believe that.

Seriously, though, it actually pissed me off when Agent Carter went that route. It made me appreciate that SHIELD just...starts.

It's more the voiceover as part of the show that bugs me. I can ignore the intro, although you are right it is totally redundant to the much cooler opening graphics.

The opening credits are by Mike Allred, who originally drew the comic.

Compassionately intolerant

I think that’s a CW mandate.

Reign had one but they eventually got wise and 86ed it. Just like iZombie, the opening credit sequence is cool enough to not need it. Besides, introducing Mary Queen of Scots as a person is no longer relevant is what now amounts to a soap opera...The Crowned & The Quixotic.
