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.

Punishingly Intricate

The Who finale showed up on my TiVo at the correct half-hour-early time.

Mine too. Although not on TiVo, on my DirectTV DVR. At least it's set to start recording at 8:30.

News about BSG from Mo Ryan's blog at the Trib:

The final set of episodes will be at least 11 hours long, and the series finale will occupy three of those hours. However, there’s a chance that the series finale could expand even more.
The “Battlestar” series finale will definitely expand on DVD. Regardless of the length of the finale that airs on Sci Fi next year, an even longer cut will be released on DVD.

Hmm, my tivo still has 9PM. I will record an hour before an after just in case.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

has anyone ever heard of sidereel.com? It has random veoh videos that even veoh doesn't seem to have, and I could barely see the "download" link, but I have completed my John Simm "The Lakes" fix. Just wondering if this has been a known entity for awhile and I'm just discovering it, and wondering about the oddness of it's setup.

I've never heard of it.

The Futon Critic has a BBCA press release that says that they will be running the next season of Torchwood but nothing about when except . . . 2009. I hope we get it near the UK rundates.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Has anyone else watched this "Fear Itself" series? I started watching because it sounded interesting, but I'm now quite irritated with it. They made it sound like a new take on horror ... but I'm finding that they're just reworking themes that have been done before. And not reworking them well enough to justify doing them (in my opinion). bah.

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

I was excited about it because of Colin's episode, which was...not bad. But I petered out somewhere in last week's ep, and some of them have been downright laughable. But with last week's girl tormented by zombies, all I was doing was looking at the costuming and set design, especially the blood spatter. There was no caring going on there.

And it turned out that she was the zombie.

Last night's episode had Brendan Routh and Shiri Appleby and it felt more like the Twilight Zone than Horror. But, much less surprising than the Twilight Zone. (Next week's is the last one they are going to air - I guess it's not doing well in the ratings.)

Darn. The next episode after the last one they're showing is the werewolf one directed by John Landis' son.

The one that had bloodied up the apartment? She sure had a lot more control over herself than Mrs Kimble or whoever the woman was that who bashed her head all over the door.
