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.

I have it all recorded and waiting for a binge watch! This weekend, hopefully.

I've decided to cancel cable at the end of next month, so I have a few weeks to watch everything I still have on the DVR before the box goes away.

I gave it three episodes and it didn't grab me. Which is disappointing, because it's right up my alley.

I was recording it, but I never read the book and I don't think I will anytime in the near future. So, I erased it. If I ever get around to the book, maybe it will be available on netflix or hulu.

I really liked it. I also really liked the book.

Yeah, I really liked the book. Then again, I enjoyed the travelogues and extensive descriptions of scenery in the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring books.

My DVR erased the first episode. I never read the book. Will I be able to follow the story if I pick things up in episode 2, or should I just go ahead and delete everything?

While there are probably better recaps (don't follow many recappers these days) this should give you enough of the basics of episode 1 to get through 2 [link] .

Also, the series has really good previouslies. The problem is, having read the book I'm not really able to judge whether the previouslies alone are enough or if you need the recap.

Shoot, I don't remember what happens when, but I feel like the miniseries was actually pretty episodic and you should be fine just jumping in to 2
