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.

Heh.

Helo loves Athena, and he's a one-toaster man.

I know that there is a large contingent of Helo Haters over at TWoP, but I just want to hug him (and snog his face off, but that's my lust for Tahmoh showing), because he's one of the few remaining principled people in the fleet. He's true to two things: Athena (and by extension Hera) and his duty as an officer. But, he still has a connection to the Cylons that leaks out at inconvenient times (his stopping to stare at the Eights in the hub, his deliberately killing the Cylons before they could spread the virus).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Helo Haters

But...but...HELO! He's made entirely of AWESOME!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's okay, Jess. They're crazy insane people, but we can take comfort in the fact that they're from an entirely different part of the internets.

Yes, there is a large contingent of people at TWOp who think that Helo is joyless and self-righteous. Because he wants to do the right thing. I mean, shouldn't you think twice (at least) before committing genocide or betrayal?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am somewhat neutral on Helo, but I had perceived that general consensus across the 'nets is that people love him.

I don't get the love. He seems kind of naive to me. That doesn't sit right with me as a general personality characteristic for individuals who are running across the universe for their lives.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Aw, I love Helo (and the pretty doesn't hurt either).

I think Helo makes a nice flip side of the coin with Baltar. They're both in love with Cylons, but whereas Helo has been helping her assimilate herself into the human world, Baltar embraces the Cylon philosophy/religion and is trying to make over the fleet into a subset of Cylon thought.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ooh, I never thought of it that way! Nice observation.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Baltar embraces the Cylon philosophy/religion

He does now, but this is a pretty recent phenomenon. I'm not sure sure Baltar knows what he believes.
