Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

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.

Last few episodes of Orphan Black. Hadn't anyone heard that backup should include archival snapshots? Even if the backup is mainly a live backup scheme along the lines of time machine, didn't Scot take occasional snapshots onto removable media? Or at least didn't he slap himself, after the virus got everything, for not having done so? I mean I know geeks can sometimes be careless about backups; but I've never known a geek to lose data because of such carelessness and not really come down hard on themselves for that failure.

Finally got around to the 12 Monkeys TV series. Great, Trippier than a sixties hippie on the brown acid. Oh and having Jennifer Goines select the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore Show as her personal song for coping with and overcoming mental illness is perfect on so many levels. Irony, yes, but irony that fits both her 2016 and her 2044 realty in very twisted ways.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Orphan Black

Finally got to see season 4 episodes 9 and 10. Quite a lot of "Wait, what?" but also some very funny bits.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Saw it. Damn.

TM is still hitting the characters out of the park.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Would this be the place to discuss Braindead?

Not a stompy, but my guess would be yes. Literal brainbugs fit pretty neatly into the SciFi/Fantasy category.

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

This does seem like the right place for it.

"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

It's sci-fi on network TV and so far as I know neither Joss nor Tim are involved, so this should be the correct thread.
