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 liked a couple of the ads I saw for it, but exploding brains (not to mention Congress) aren't really my sweet spot, so I'm probably going to pass.

edit: Now, put exploding congressional brains on CSPAN and I'll start popping some corn.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Has anyone else seen it? it's terribly Congress-centric ... but it has its moments. Some of them gross ... brains literally going 'splodey.

I've been watching it. I'm not sure whether I'll last - not the sci-fi stuff I have a problem with, it's the real politics and manipulations and bs that make me crazy. If they start focusing more on the brain-splodey stuff and less on the "real-life" political maneuvering, I imagine I'll stick with it.

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

Highlights of Orphan Black for me this season:

1) Alison singing Judas' big opening number from JC Superstar while Donnie gets the shit beaten out of him in prison, Sarah looks to be betrayed, but the only one Alison really betrayed was the asshole bent cop. Mrs. S doesn't fuck around.

2) Helena saving the Hendrixs. Again. I totally called it, but the method made it all so satisfying.

3) Cosima and Delphine reunited.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I wasn't as in love with this season as previous seasons. My favorite clones are Alison and Helena, and they seemed to be sidelined for much of the season.

Hehe... wrong thread. Move along. Nothing to see here.

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

12 Monkeys and Preacher have both been renewed!

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

I'm currently watching episode 2 of Preacher and loving it! The Irish vampire reminds me of Doyle a bit. Ruth Negga is excellent!

I watched the third episode last night. Cassidy is gold.

"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 normally love Ruth Negga but Tulip's appeal faded real quick.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yeah, I don't love Tulip. She's badass, but needs to let go of that thirst.
