I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

move out and draw fire

Huh? No, he fell in there himself while chasing Foo Foo Cuddly Poops.

Yeah, but I can't believe he could fall in like that...the physics are wrong. And then get lodged deeper? At first I thought Foo Foo Cuddly Poops was earthbending.

But Toph knew exactly where he was. And I could see her doing that. You know, as part of Katara's recommended "positive reinforcement" program.

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

Toph was with Aang the whole time. Sorry, I think the show gets to play the "It's a cartoon!" card once in a while.

Physics? Aang laughs at physics!

Ha, physics.

Next week is cferg's episode of Fear Itself.

Last night's episode was okay. I think I just wasn't as engaged as I should have been. But I thought that the promo for next week's episode, "Family Man" looked really good.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've been spoiled for the premise of that ep, and I may have to catch that just to see how Colin does with it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Next week is cferg's episode of Fear Itself.

Yep. Still thinking of BtVS every time I see that title. Can we start a rumor that cferg worked on Buffy? He could've worked on Tim's eps.

He was the Big Bad in the Xander mini-arc that Tim wrote.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was just reading the Flick Filosopher talk about the shows she's looking forward to seeing this summer, and Eureka is one of them:

Eureka (returns July 29 on Sci Fi): It’s all about a town full of geeks, and they’re cool, too. When they’re not accidentally about to blow up the planet. If Frank Capra made science fiction, this is what it would look like: this is a sweet, funny, good-natured show about jes folks who just happen to be geniuses.

I did not enjoy last night's episode of Fear Itself, which was probably the worst episode of television I've ever seen, though I thought the first one was decent. But this one was even worse than the episode of Charmed that completely ripped-off Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now I'm psyched to see it. Because I've seen some crap TV. Not that you haven't, but I wonder what my love for Eric Roberts will do to my impression of the episode.
