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.

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

That was Bruce Davison (IMDb profile) who's been in ungodly number of things both on TV and in movies. He was Senator Kelly from the first X-Men movie whom Mystique killed and impersonated.

Oh right right right! I was excited about that.

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

there was an older guy talking to FBI guy who looked REALLY familiar? Did anyone else see him who can ID?

Was he also Knight Rider's creator? I'm too lazy to look it up--just that he was another white haired guy that gets around the officious genre roles.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Was he also Knight Rider's creator?

Yes.

Question - does anyone know how SCC has been doing ratings-wise?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's lost 10 million viewers since it premiered. It's down to 8 million now, although the drop off has slowed week to week muchly. Although it's still falling.

It's not a TV hit. And it's about to end as they didn't produce many episodes pre-strike. But I'd imagine it will return in the fall, or January.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Re. the basement. We've been speculating elsewhere that the soldiers might have been "reprogrammed" (or brainwashed, I guess you can call it), in parallel to the terminators being reprogrammed at the resistance headquarters.

Ooooh... good theory!

Thanks for the Bruce Davison ID.

t checks IMDB

Whoah! He starred in Lathe of Heaven!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Last night, I managed to watch 40 minutes of my tape of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

This is not satisfying.

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

Whoah! He starred in Lathe of Heaven!

Yes, he did. He was also in "Spies Like Us."

Trust my rage

My theory is that Cameron's not "going bad" as much as she is contemplating what it means to destroy her own kind - or maybe even be "her kind." They've shown lots of lingering shots of her face looking at the chess robots and other robots.
