Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

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

It's a pilot, so it was very expositiony, and the characters aren't really fleshed out. They did a good job with Kara. The SFX are an upgrade over what they have on the CW. I really loved the truck crash.

I rolled my eyes at the premise, too. It does, however, just scream out for an appearance by Lobo. Which I don't know if they're going to do or not, but it would be FANTASTIC.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes, I meant to mention that about the effects. Really good.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Agreed on the effects, and I did like Jimmy. Otherwise, bleh.

I haven't watched anything but the trailer, but I love the actor who plays Jimmy. Question, were they calling him James and Jamie in the pilot, or was I just hearing it wrong? I was wondering if they didn't have the rights to use the name Jimmy Olsen?

Only his mom and the big guy call him Jimmy.

Thanks, DX.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not that I would *ahem* but...

One thing about the Supergirl Pilot is Why do they keep writing out Argo City ?

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Maybe they thought that would be too complicated.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Orphan Black

Man, I was about to give up on the show but I finally enjoyed this episode. Mrs. S and Felix teaching Gracie to dance! Sarah and Helena together again! "In convent I lived in broom closet for months. I do not rot." Morally ambiguous Paul! Mommy doctor lady is hella creepy. And Cosima on a date!! But who was taking pictures...
