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 have the impression that he was recently zombified. Don't know what I'm basing that on, though.

Does Wayward Pines count as Boxed Set? We just watched the first episode and can't decide whether or not it is worth continuing?

I think it's Boxed Set. Maybe not definitively, yet, but surely that's where it's heading.

I watched the first two episodes, I guess, and can't decide if it's worth continuing. I have last night's installment recorded, if it's boring I'm going to cut it loose.

We're watching the 2nd episode now and I'm definitely bored. Which is too bad because the cast is great. ETA: I think the time wonkiness is enough to make it boxed set.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. The time business is the most interesting thing so far.

Orphan Black: Alison! Damn, girl. I t heart Scott making Rachel play Agricola.

I still don't know about Wayward Pines, but I guess I'm in for the next one.

So much HSQ this episode! I'm starting to really love this show, as opposed to just really liking it.

Poor Tim's reaction was "If it's this stressful next season, I don't think I can watch it."

And I respect that, because I feel that way about lots of media (books, movies, TV -- my brother has assured me I can NEVER watch the Vikings TV show). But I am totally hooked on iZombie.

So what's the deal with the Asshat (hurr hurr) band kids? Somehow connected to Max Rager, maybe? Because in the stoner's flashback, he was talking about money (or the other guy was), and not going to the cops. And there was no money involved with hitting Sebastian the zombie, so it had to be something else. And since the "previously on" segment showed Liv talking to the Max Rager CEO but the show didn't follow up on that, I'm just wondering if that's what the Asshat band kids were involved in.
