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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Actually, the wrongest thing that stood out for me was Sarah Jane snivelling and pleading for her life. She has far more bravery than that, you know?

move out and draw fire

Finally got back to Avatar after a brief hiatus, with Tales of Ba Sing Se, Appa's Lost Days, and Lake Laogai.

I was a total wreck. Mallory said, "I don't want Green Avatar any more! I don't want to cry ever again! I want Blue Avatar!" And called it "Lake Loudguy."

My plans for Zuko are coming along nicely...but man oh man.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Actually, the wrongest thing that stood out for me was Sarah Jane snivelling and pleading for her life. She has far more bravery than that, you know?

I had the impression that was not just about her, but about her need to be there to take care of Luke. If the Daleks kill her, Luke has no one to take care of him other than Mr. Smith and K-9. And I felt she hoped the pleading might make her look more like a standard-issue human, rather than one associated with the Doctor, a last-ditch effort to let her stay alive to look after her son.

I love Harriet Jones too! But as more than that punchline thrown at us again and again and again and again.

Art Crawl!!!

Did the people who torrented the Doctor get the British promos too? Or were you guys promo-free?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The BBC usually has promos, (and the announcer quite politely warns viewers when the promo contains major spoilers), but I don't recall seeing one for the last episode. It didn't need one.

NBC has the Chuck comic-con panel up.

What Tom said. They usually do promos on the BBC EXCEPT for before the last episode. Which was excellent decision making.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Am I the only one liking Woolsey as the new commander of Atlantis? His goofiness seems so much more fitting when it comes to letting the team push him around than it did having "strong women" letting themselves be pushed around. At least it's in character in that he's a bit of a dolt.

"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'm liking him overall. I would have made every decision in "The Seed" exactly the way he did, except for the initial one of not having a prepared speech to address the base as a whole upon arrival.
