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.

Art Crawl!!!

Windsparrow, on my tv the "blue goo" totally looked purple so - yes. I'm sure that mostly she wanted the archives.

That Who event sounds excellent. Also, I should put first doctor stuff on my netflix queue. (Assuming that Netflix has it.)

Oh, this is fun--Sexiest SF TV stars from TV Guide.

I have to say, I'm not convinced there are ten people sexier than Ben Browder in the world, let alone among actors on sci-fi television shows.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Somebody asked about where David Tennant heard about fanfic: Friday Night Project.

"well, that was a bit inappropriate." I'm embarrassed to say that I can't tell if he was being genuinely naive or if that was part of the joke. I did lose the next thirty minutes watching the parts on youtube. Love his accent THIS ---- MUCH!

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

Did anyone catch the last episode of Fear Itself? Did anyone care? I'm trying to rank them in my mind and I find I can't remember the first one...

I did miss it. Was it remotely effective? Which did you prefer?

I've not been impressed by any of the ones I've seen, but I suppose it was workmanlike. I missed out on the ones I've heard the best reviews of (the police station episode and the most recent Wendigo-themed one) as well as Colin's.

The Showtime version of the series had better quality IMHO. The Clive Barker episode was nicely atmospheric, and Carpenter's "Cigarette Burns" actually lived up to the Masters of Horror hype.

I liked Colin's well-enough, but I thought it was directorially a bit too reserved. The Village one was rendered impotent by its obviousness--there was a moment when the lease was being signed where I hit pause and read the damned thing, and lost all sympathy for the idiots. The zombie one was the opposite--too unobvious. I didn't buy the level of cognition she was displaying.

Wendigo was visually the scariest, I think. Perhaps just because the face eater was filmed darkly, and this one was really well lit. Still, both similar and nasty, but neither left me chilled.

Oh, and the one with the people from Psych was just dumb.

Good point quester. I don't remember Mary McDonnell being on there either. That may be my own crush though.
