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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That is true. Then he yelled "Isaac Asimov!" to get out of the Harry Potter character name contest. That was great; at the end when it was down to two people, they locked eyes and you could almost hear the ooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. But that Harry Potter fanboy had to win. He would've died of shame if he'd lost.

The Reactor host won my approval last week with his "Just kiss already!" comment on the Batman v. Superman standoff.

I nearly broke my remote's channel button clicking away from Dark Matter when I saw they were having the android get jealous of all the attention the new sexbot was getting. Watching the horrific gooey effects of Carpenter's The Thing for the Nth time was much more appealing.

Then he yelled "Isaac Asimov!" to get out of the Harry Potter character name contest.

Too funny! Oh, right, I had forgotten that the one guy had a Gryffindor robe (I watched the first terminates at lunch time and the last bit in the evening), he did have to win.

Eh, Dark Matter was better than the early scenes of that plot promised. I hope somebody was paying attention to who went to such lengths to send their ship into a sun. The amnesia business is more compelling a mystery than I would have predicted, for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The reactor host is David Huntsberger, one of the hosts of the Professor Blastoff podcast, which I LOVE. Blastoff also has Tig Notaro and Kyle Dunnigan. BEST. PODCAST. EVER.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just finished watching Season 3 of Orphan Black and I have a couple of questions. Can I ask them outright or should I white-font?

Also is Defiance worth watching?

No need to whitefront Orphan Black.

Defiance is pretty uneven. I like it, but I'm not sure I can recommend it.

Thanks, -t.

Ok, about Orphan Black: how did Helena get her babies back? She left the cannister in Felix's apartment where Kira found it but apparently didn't tell anyone. Then when Helena gets back to civilization she suddenly has it again at Alison's house. And yet, nobody else seems to know about it or has ever mentioned it.

Then, if Charlotte is now in the custody of the other Dr. Duncan, what happened to Michelle Forbes' character.

And then, after "dealing with" Pouchy, Helena and Donny seemed very sanguine about having Art at the same dinner table.

Seconded. It definitely has its moments.

I just assumed that before they took her to Alison's they swung by Felix's for Helena to collect her things and that was one of her things.

Michelle Forbes was a "Topside" person, yes? My guess is Dr. Duncan is more or less head of Topside.

And that's just how Helena and Donnie roll. Well, Helena. Donnie, I would guess, is blocking out that whole episode pretty hard.
