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 don't really watch House, but I'd like to believe that if they said that House lived at 221 Baker street, I might have noticed.

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

I don't think it was Baker St, just 221B was the apartment number. I noticed it then.

Lord, I just watched the Q&A with Colin (just watched--I have no audio). Devoid of information, but hysterical as hell.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I didn't get the House/Holmes thing either. It looks like we dense ones are in some good company, at least.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Um, I got it. But I am big Holmes fangirl, so....

D'aww. It's the STNG ep where Picard plays his flute from the probe fake life in duet with the new Lieutenant who plays the piano, and they like each other. And the last one I caught was the probe fake life one. ::sniff:

Interestingly, I can't remember what happens in this one. Kind of fun.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I tell you what, that Patrick Stewart is a fine, fine actor. Poor Jean Luc. No more smoochies for you. Nice the way the flute just doubles its bittersweet quotient after this ep.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK. I don't know how many people here watch vids, but there was a DW vid about the Tenth Doctor from the Vividcon this weekend (set to The Flobots' "Handlebars") that completely blew my mind. [link]

Seriously. The song is so perfect, the narrative told so well, and the progression so brilliant, it'll probably work for you even if you've never watched vids before -- hell, even if you've never watched Doctor Who before. The economy of the storytelling in vids, how you can pack so much into three and a half minute of a song, better than you can tell in a 50,000-word fic sometimes, is one of the reasons I love watching vids. And this is one of the very best.

"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

Any other watchers of The Middleman catch last night's episode? Apparently animated vampire puppets are the surest way to my funny bone - I was gasping for air from the laughing throughout much of the show. (And the female lead had a great reference to "at least three Canadian vampire detective shows.")
