Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

They could easily do so without leading him to a conclusion of brain-eating zombie as well.

Yes! If he accepts the idea that she is psychic, he could think she is identifying with the victims on a psychic level, and it would make more sense that he would still be willing to work with her after she says really racist things, for example.

Exactly.

Caught up on The Expanse. Liking it, very compelling. I guess I will have to read the books now.

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

I'm loving The Expanse too. They've rearranged the plot in some big ways, which I think was a good call because they're not locked into a book-per-season cadence. (And because it let them bring Avasalara into the first season, and SHE IS MY FAVORITE. Sadly, because this is not HBO, she doesn't swear as much as she does in the books but she is still my favorite.)

I'm impressed/relieved that they haven't rewritten Holden into the classic TV bad-boy-hero type - it would have been really easy to change him into a character who makes good choices and doesn't fuck everything up all the time, and I'm glad they didn't.

Ooh, interesting. I probably won't start reading the books until the season is over to limit my confusion, then. Now that I am done binging and will have to remember stuff from week to week, better not make it any harder than t needs to be.

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

Really, Alex? You have a date with the super tech-savvy slimeball and you don't sweep your belongings for bugs afterward?

ETA: I did love J'onn pretending to be Lord, though.

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

I did love J'onn pretending to be Lord, though.

That made me laugh so much, and then I rolled my eyes at the red-flash for the audience, as if we didn't know.

I...kind of care about Winn as a character now? They really sold his daddy issues.

Arrow Season 4½ trailer. A couple of faces I hadn't expected to see again.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I wonder if goth!Felicity is another flashback or if in the present day they fake her death and she goes undercover with some black dye and an ankh.
