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.

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.

ION, Doctor Who isn't just leaving Netflix. My queued Hulu eps are suddenly expiring in 5 days. I'm only 5 eps into Matt Smith's run. I guess I'm never catching up.

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

I never watched the original run of The X-Files, but TCG did and wants to watch the new episodes. How lost am I going to be?

There is a lot of exposition in the new ones to cover the main points. You'll get the gist. I wouldn't worry about catching ALL of the exposition though. It's pretty thick.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I enjoyed the Lucifer premiere more than I thought I would. The lead actor is awfully pretty and he was enjoyably over the top in his take on the Prince of Darkness. I was pleased seeing DB Woodside on my TV again. I wouldn't say it was great TV, but given that I have nothing else on my plate Monday's at 9:00 until The Voice comes back, I thought it was good fun.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have not seen X-Files yet, and I'm only a bit into Legends of Tomorrow. So far, it is...not good. I will be repeating stuff already pointed out, but WTF with SpyDaddy giving his partner a roofie and dragging him into presumably mortal danger? That is NOT COOL.

Also, isn't the setup with Hawkman/Hawkgirl that Savage always tracks down their reincarnations and kills them? Shouldn't Mister "I have 4000 years of memories" be able to at least narrow down where Savage would be?

I'd also love to know where their ship is supposedly parked near St. Roch in New Orleans.

Our wings are not tired.

Watched the 2nd X-Files tonight. Much more satisfying than the first.

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.

The Flash

When will Barry learn not to taunt the supervillain? (Then again, DCAU Wally had the same problem.)

Did Wells' explanation for Thawne's existence make sense to anyone? I'm just going to wave my hands and say he's from "Earth 3" because that makes more sense.

I still don't get why Patty knowing puts her in danger. (And I'm glad she figured it out.) I will never understand why superhero tales always claim the knowing is dangerous, when not knowing seems to get them into way more trouble.
