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.

Explosition is Sam explaining how they're going to blow up a sun.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Surely blowing up suns is Rodney's job?

Yeah, Sam's got to have moved on to entire solar systems by now.

"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

Actually, the reverse. Rodney's the one that detonated that Ancient zero point module MkII and blew up most of a system.

Though both of them worked with Jeannie Miller and made a device that could have potentially destroyed an entire parallel universe.

Compassionately intolerant

Who else has seen Music of the Spheres? Did I miss any discussion?

It is, admittedly, twee...but doG help me, I can't get enough of David Tennant these days. I'm sure the fever will pass soon.

I'll just go have a bit of a lie down...

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Crap, just mainlined the final 4 episodes of Doctor Who.

All tearful now.

Jesus. POOR Donna.

Loved having the whole 'gang's all here' thing, really did - oh, and bless Ianto and Gwen. (And yay for the shout out to Eve Myles' role in the Dickens episode! God, I so love that they did that in the finale of DW, and that they did the same thing in the TW finale for Naoko Mori's DW role in the Space Pig episode.)

Aw, wee Ianto just killed me with the look on his wee face when Jack was all 'I'm off to find the Doctor!' BLESS!

I think they did a great job of wrapping things up, actually. Glad to have the Rose storyline done and dusted, and all the Doctor/Rose shippers hopefully satisfied, and so whoever the next companion is should be a fresh start.

(Oh, God. Oh, poor Donna. I really, REALLY liked Donna. Catherine Tate did such a good job. She broke my bloody heart in those last few episodes.)

...aaaaand I'm crying again. God.

Anyway, yeah - such fun having old favourites returning - The Master last season, Davros this season. Fabulous, that.

Lots of stuff with cloning this season, wasn't there? And I do appreciate a nice bit of foreshadowing - bless them for throwing those things into the mix.

I don't think I can really express how very much I didn't like the giant cockroach monster on Donna's back. And I think it was worse invisible than visible. Ack. Really REALLY creepy, that.

Bernard Cribbins - bless him, he too kept breaking my heart. Go Team Wilf. ...OMG - I've just realised that Bernard Cribbins was in the 1966 movie Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150!!! He was the main companion! Holy crap! How ON EARTH had I forgotten that?

Eureka: Derek was Marco!??!! (from the 4400). No wonder he looked familiar.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Rewatched "What About Bob the Nob", and, damn, but Carter really was staring long and lovingly at Henry. To the point where it went straight passed "Great Platonic Guy Love" to "Oh, so that's why Callie isn't around anymore."

And so, after all that, I was severely pissed that they didn't hug at the end (even without the hoyay! I still wanted a hug for Carter, after all the angsting he's been doing over not only Henry, but Allison). Just a silly little shove. Carter's so repressed.

move out and draw fire

That, and Iroh's segment in "Tales of Ba Sing Se."

I can't watch this again. Just can't. Left the room.

Just watched "The Earth King." Am very concerned about Suki. We also watched The Serpent's Pass again with commentary on - funny to hear the writer hoping that this time Suki and Sokka would kiss (the first time).
