'Objects In Space'


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

Woohoo, caught up on these shows!

Gotham - I’m liking the Wayne Enterprises developments. Especially Lucius Fox, but Bunderslaw is also interesting. Not sure about everything else. The Ogre thing didn’t really payoff.

OUaT can still win me back. Lily could be interesting. I mean, she hatched out of a dragon’s egg, I want to like her, they just have to meet me halfway.

Barry explaining that he has traveled back in time once and maybe Cisco remembers getting killed made me so happy. More cards on the table, superheroes in general, please. WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT KILLING CISCO! That is quite enough of that!

Still very confused about Wells/Thawne, what he wants and why he has Gideon. i actually do have faith that it will make some kind of sense eventually but I don’t even have a theory at this point. It’s interesting that he likes Barry.

Shades of Duncan Idaho on Arrow. Big time. Ra’s is weirder than usual with his fatherly choices. Maybe because he’s so old his cultural norms are hella weird? Besides the ruler of the league of assassins thing, which is bound to warp you I guess. But it’s hard to make sense of his motivations.

Thea is doing a good job of staying my favorite! On the one hand, I would like for the character to choose happiness and go find Roy because there is not enough of characters making the choices that have a good chance of making them happy in general, but on the other she’s my favorite, don’t leave!

And now I can go back and read what y'all said while I was unsubscribed...

I guess I'd better move Jonathan Strange to the top of my to be read queue...

I don't think the problem with young Bruce/Selina scenes is the writing.

My problem with them is more existential. I just find young Bruce knowing young Selina problematic and weird. I did like the bit where she pushed Payne out the window and Bruce was horrified. That was okay, but in general it's the idea I don't like more than the execution. I suppose a flawless execution could make me okay with the idea, but that seems like a lot to ask.

Gives a new meaning to hand-waving...

BWAHAHAHA!

Genius.

Oh, shoot, I did not pay attention to Arrow's credits.

Katrina Law is a giant adorable dork, pass it on

Superfantastic

Maybe I am reading the screen wrong...and, yes, there it is. Better take "Navigating Hulu" off my resume.

ETA: Sigh, I am a bad fan, What's different?

The opening credits? Are totally different. "My name WAS Oliver Queen. For three years, I worked to save my city, but to save my sister, I had to become someone else...I had to become something else." And it's all clips of Ollie in LoA garb.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Oh, that cleverness I actually noticed! I remarked to myself, even, what a good job it did paralleling the usual credits.

I don't know why I thought you meant something else. Probably because my head is full of gunk.
