A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I set my DVR to record the news broadcast after so I caught it all, but I can imagine there are quite a number of people that recorded football.

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

Did anyone else lol when the doo-doo-doo spooky music started right as Scully looked at the portrait of W?

This makes me so happy, I can overlook all the places where it stumbled a bit. Mulder+Scully+WeirdSh!t=4Evah

It was really fun to see them back on screen again, and Mitch Pileggi looks amazing. Also, they didn't change the credits or the tagline! Amazing!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, watching the new show "Lucifer" and just figured out that the female cop on the show played Lori on Hawaii Five-0. Girl was an albatross for two seasons (and not just because the brought her on as a love interest for Steve, but they had NO chemistry*) Suspect she's going to be just as bad here.

When is Hollywood going to get over pretty blond cops paired up with formerly evil guys? (see alsoAngel and Moonlight)

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

Enjoyed most of the episode, but Senator KellyCrane's about-face on mutantsaliens seemed a little too easy. You think her guards being murdered and her being kidnapped by a shape-shifting alien would make her more afraid of aliens, not less, Supergirl's actions be damned.

"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

Hiring Bailey Chase doesn't instill confidence in the Lucifer producers' commitment to acting excellence either.

Tom Ellis is really swinging for the bleachers on channeling Tim Curry in Rocky Horror, isn't he?

in all fairness, he was supposed to be bad.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

we got nearly everything on the list, except for the pencils in the ceiling.

Did you mean that you didn't have them on your list? Because they were there in the ep, when Skinner and Mulder walked into the old office.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In X-Files-adjacent news, one of the former TWOP recappers is writing about it over at Fug Girls.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just watched the 2nd ep of X-Files. The William stuff was beautiful and heartbreaking.
