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.

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

I'd like to see you try to keep track of every single detail after coming back from the dead...

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

New Trek series to be run by Bryan Fuller: [link]

“Bryan is not only an extremely gifted writer, but a genuine fan of Star Trek,” Stapf said. “Having someone at the helm with his gravitas who also understands and appreciates the significance of the franchise and the worldwide fan base was essential to us.”

Fucking yes, please, and thank you. Let Abrams go play with Star Wars and stay away from Trek.

The problem is that it's looking as though the series will probably be set in the rebooted universe.

I can deal with the new universe. I'm interested in the stories, and how they handle the characters.

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

I loved Supergirl ! I thought they did a great job making the story their own, focusing more on what draws Kara back rather than what keeps her in (the Krypton stuff was fairly weak, but I found the rest of it so much more compelling I didn't see it as a design flaw). Melissa Benoist nailed Hank-as-Kara, Chyler Leigh got to give a tearful monologue, they said "family" like forty times, and I loved it.

And regarding The X-Files, yes, they have to find William in the finale or else what is storytelling.

I'd love to see what Fuller could do with Star Trek in the new universe.

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.

Good job, Barry. Way to not do what you came to Earth-2 to do, screw up your doppelganger's life and get yourself captured all in short order. How hard would it be to tell Iris "Sorry, I've got some work to catch up on, I'll see you at home."?

I did like the shot of Kara during the dimensional rift. Did anyone catch all the names on the Barry-2's phone? I saw Eddie, Diana, and Hal.

ETA: Killer Frost was fun. Same with evil Cisco. Evil Firestorm just came across as slightly more douchey.

Some of the other images in the stream were Grodd, John Wesley Shipp as the Flash, a finger wearing a Legion of Superheroes flight ring, Jonah Hex, and a Green Arrow that didn't look much like Oliver.

edit: Having Deadshot show up was kind of random, no?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I lost nothing by skipping all the death scenes in this episode of XF.

I was disappointed not to see Bill, though, nor to find out why Charlie was estranged from Maggie. It felt very true to the old show, though. And it was nice that they remembered Melissa.
