Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

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

Doctor Who:

Holy god, this season has been so fucking good. The more I think about it, the more I like everything about it. The kids and I rewatched Under The Lake/Before The Flood over the weekend (it's Aeryn's favorite) and there's some pretty fantastic foreshadowing in there for how things play out over the last three eps of the season.

(I was NEVER a fan of Clara when she was with Eleven, ever, but now all I want out of the off season is a Two Undead Girls In A Stolen TARDIS spinoff. Please, Auntie Beeb? Please?)

Heaven Sent blew me away completely. Peter Capaldi is just amazing, and I figured out the twist at exactly the right moment.

Best HSQ ever!!!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Supergirl:

I was so hoping that's who it was (and damn good effects for a TV show, too.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

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

Supergirl

EVERYONE CALLED IT BUT IT WAS STILL AWESOME.

Also hot damn I loved all the bits about heroism in this episode. This is the show we need right now.

We almost have a big enough group for the JLA, although without Bats, and The Big Guy, oh and a proper GL...

I would love to see them just keep building the DCU here and there, tho...

I still wouldn't mind seeing even a cameo of Henry Cavill or even Tom Welling or...hmmm..

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

I don't want to see Henry Cavill's dour, buzz kill face anywhere near this show. Welling just got a new show. He's executive producer, too, which helps explain how he got another show.

It's interesting how they seem to have divided the types of powers on the three shows - science and metahumans on The Flash, magic on Arrow, and aliens on Supergirl.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Since Berlanti is in charge of the TV show rather than Snyder, Goyer, and Nolan, if Superman were to make a guest appearance I think we'd be likely to get this Henry Cavill rather than this Henry Cavill.

Can I say again how impressed I was with J'onn's look on the show? Granted, it was very brief and all he did was say his name after transforming, but that was absolutely perfect, and on a TV show budget at that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Doctor Who has spent years making everything related to Christmas seem creepy. I think that The Flash is the first show to try to creepify Chanukah. That was awesome.
