Trick ,'First Date'


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

Did the promos tell you who you'd see? The ones I remember only told me there'd be a surprise.

They did. "You won't believe what happens in the last five minutes!"

Then they showed us the last scene of the episode.

The promo for the most recent episode spoiled for Carson, but not Michael.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Okay, I'm losing my tolerance for SGA, so I haven't watched the episode yet (nor last week's). But someone want to tell me how they explain Carson not being DEAD?

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

They haven't yet. It's a two-parter.

However, I suspect it will either be a) clone or b) parallel universe. I think it's pretty clear our Carson is dead.

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

"You won't believe what happens in the last five minutes!"

Then they showed us the last scene of the episode.

That's pretty funny. Somehow I managed to go into it expecting Michael and not Carson, even though I'd heard the "You won't believe..."

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

I spotted Michael in the credits, so I guess I have only myself to blame for that one.

I do like the way they've set up and personalized a couple different factions. Todd the Sarcastic Wraith is flat out awesome.

"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

Heyerdal is SO MUCH BETTER in that role than he ever was as Halling. Who knew he could be compelling and funny?

'Suela, I'd recommend watching the episode. Promo idiocy aside, I actually think it's more tightly written and consistently entertaining than any other episode this season.

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

I'd managed to forget the promo by the time the last scene rolled around, so go team no-short-term-memory, I guess.

Todd the Sarcastic Wraith is flat out awesome.

Todd may be my favorite character right now.

Am posting from phone. I live in the future. Carson could be a replicator maybe. Sorry i have only mastered the period for punctuation with any speed. Which is not much. Speed.
