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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My viewing of SH has been spotty and I thought that was the reason that whole last episode kind of came out of left field. I figure either they'll slot Jenny into Abbie's place or (heaven help us) Busty.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

or (heaven help us) Busty.

How much did I miss? Did the show bring Betsy Ross to the present?

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

Yup. She's been stuck in the place Abby was stuck at.

Well, ONE good thing came out of this season - Tom Mison's hair. That's all I can say ... although it was good to see Clancy Brown once more.

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

She's been stuck in the place Abby was stuck at.

She was stuck in the catacombs, but she returned to her own time.

"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

I still can't believe she wasn't supposed to be a modern day person marooned in the past somehow. Was the actress (or "actress") related to one of the show's higher-ups?

No Betsy went back to the past.

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:

Pretty meh episode for me. Way too much Non and Indigo chewing scenery for my taste.

Also, Alex was holding the idiot ball in this episode. (Though her and J'onn's disguise was good.)

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

there's some kind of scene either right before she dies or with her ghost where she tells Crane that it was OK, that her role was to support him or help him transition to the modern world or something like that

This, at least, did not happen. Tumblr gets carried away sometimes. She mostly just tells him that she's at peace and he should carry on without her.

Having just watched, I think the argument can be made that it did happen. Abby says something like her role was like everyone else's to get Crane where he needed to be and now she's done that and can move on.
