Nice acronym, Mom!

Buffy ,'Showtime'


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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

No comments on last night's premiere of Orphan Black? I'm just getting around to watching it now.

Just watched it. Talk about building a backstory. I wonder if this storyline was a retcon or planned?

After Daredevil, I was disappointed they didn't have the whole season at once.

I hope they pay Tatiana Maslany enough.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

So was Blaine lying the whole time about the amnesia? Or maybe he was lying at first and then his memories came back and he kept faking it? Or he's really amnesiac? I'm confused on that point. He got really competent there at the end.

I think it is left deliberately amviguous. Like he could have recovered his *self* but not his memories. Or could have been faking all along. Or recovered later and faked not recovering. Hell, the writers may not have even decided yet. Unlikely, but if they have not already picked one, they still can.

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

Does Orphan Black go here or Streaming?

Technical, Orphan Black is airing on SyFy, I think, so it's not Streaming, even though lots of people watch it that way.

Any commentary on The 100 this week? I was wondering where Miller & Harper disappeared to. Also, poor Monty! Although Raven pinning the massacre at Mt Weather on Bellamy and Clarke -- she missed Monty. Not that Jasper has forgotten that...

I did like Raven tearing the bandages off all the old wounds. That was kind of refreshing, although it did feel a bit too much like a bottle episode for me. The other two storylines are too important to just ignore them for a week, in my mind.

Also, Stephen King has been binge-watching The 100, and tweeting about it. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Orphan Black is a BBC America show. t /Jessica

About the actual show, I would be pretty happy to have this season take place back before Season 1.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

HAHAHA! You know, since I don't work there anymore I find myself caring less...
