Wash ,'The Message'


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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm not thrilled by the corporate hatchet person.

For what her presence apparently means, I'm not either. They had to seriously chop down Beverly's story-line in season one to the point of almost non-existence, and the darkness of season two was such a mess. So I'm hoping that Eva gets quickly booted from the show, or that the purple/blue vial she was holding at the end was a secret deodorant formula.

Yay Eureka and seeing all the characters again!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I love that Zoe is working at Cafe Diem. And I am not a Zane hater, I think he and Jo are cute.

Of course, I've never seen Season 1.

I like that Zoe working at CD means we'll see more Vince!

I guess I'm just missing the gene that makes anthopomorphized machinery seem cute—I was rolling my eyes nonstop over the escaped combat drone following people around like a lost puppy. Though it was nice to see Carter, Zoe, and Jo again.

Me too. Love Vince! Maybe because I have fond memories of Nightshifter, but I like to think I adore Vince for his own character.

Cool, I just heard a promo for SCC. It would have been cooler to see, but I was in the other room. Dang it.

So I'm guessing you're not overly fond of S.A.R.A.H. either?

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

I love Martha and Zoe! She's Zoe's new invisible robot friend!

I had a bit of K-9 deja vu when Zoe helped Martha charge up while they were in the freezer.

Loved the all singing, all dancing, musical intro.

I wanted to give Jamie the benefit of the doubt but I'm just not buying the Degree sponsorship. How do you gain advertising mindshare if you're sponsoring a company that is classified? In its fictional context there is no upside there for Degree.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

How do you gain advertising mindshare if you're sponsoring a company that is classified? In its fictional context there is no upside there for Degree.

Companies often sponsor gov't agencies/events in order to gain an in with the government. Could be Degree has some patents out there that need pushing through or they are having EPA problems that need to go away or they want the geniuses at GD to develop a new product for them.

Sponsorships aren't always about wide market mindshare. In fact, most of them (percentage-wise, not money-wise) aren't. They're usually targeted to very niche audiences.
