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 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 am really liking this SGA episode. There's agency for Teyla (and having her concerns taken seriously by Carter), callbacks to "Poisoning the Well," a credible threat that makes sense for once, lots of Lorne screentime, and not one but two interesting Wraith adversaries.

But, um... a few episodes ago Teyla was able to overpower a Wraith queen's mind from orbit. Shouldn't she be able to turn Michael into a puppet fairly easily?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Why do the promo writers feel the need to give away the ending of the ep? (Usually I avoid the promos for this reason, but I got caught by the one for this ep)

Our wings are not tired.

Absolutely, Sheryl. That promo annoyed me every time I saw it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The first episode of FOX's New Amsterdam has hit the torrent sites pre-air.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That promo annoyed me every time I saw it.

I rarely even watch Atlantis, and that promo annoyed me. I mean, c'mon. Don't screw with the HSQ.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yes, the end of that episode would have been interesting if the fucking promo hadn't tromped all over it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ooh, Atlantis! That's what I have time to watch while the baby naps!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Aheming means never having to see the promos.

Especially when you don't have cable...

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

Did the promos tell you who you'd see? The ones I remember only told me there'd be a surprise. I honestly didn't think more of it, though I suppose there weren't more options.
