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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One thing I really like about Thorne is that while she's being set up as an antagonist, she's not pinging me as a 'bad guy.' I'm actually interested in what she's trying to do/find out.

Me too - she's not evil, just agenda-driven. She's pinging me a bit like S4 Scorpius in that sense, actually.

Just as long as we never have to see her vomit, I'm OK with that.

move out and draw fire

So we just started watching S3 of BSG. Let me say that I'm basically spoiled for the big end-of-season revelations but my DH is not.

DH just decided that Tigh is a cylon, as of episode 3.

His basic argument is that there is no redeeming human characteristic about Tigh.

But by that logic, everybody on this damn show is a cylon.

Signed, no longer wanting the humans to survive.

What is even happening?

I might possibly be warming a little to Carter/Allison, but, damn, I miss Stark.

Come to the dark side. We have cookies. Seriously, I think what they have to do, if they want Jack and Allison to catch on is to write Allison as being interested, but in a way that Jack doesn't catch on (which will be tough write and direct without screwing the Carter character, because he's not the oblivious type).

I actually think Zane and Zoe have some chemistry, also, fun alliteration. Zoe's bickerson friend/boyfriend seemed like some kind of set up... I wonder if BF and BFF are going to break her heart.

They just wowed me. I wasn't expecting it, but the two of them have it. How old is Zane supposed to be? Will this be super gross -- because I'm way more intrigued by Zane/Zoe than Zane/Jo.

Also, surely any child raised in Eureka is told "Don't push any strange buttons" more often than "Look both ways before crossing the street."

I don't know. Each week's tragedy is caused by someone who ought to know better doing something wreckless.

Since Jack is basically waiting for Allison to throw him a crumb at this point, I can't see that scenario working without a lobotomy involved. I mean, the entire point of his character is "the guy who notices stuff other people miss."

[eta: The best case scenario for me would be to either drop Jack/Allison altogether, or treat it like Willow/Xander so all we ever get is pining and UST, but no relationship that then has to be broken up for the sake of moving the plot forward.]

Psst, Cindy. Did you really mean to use the word "phased" (as opposed to fazed) in this line from the TWOP recaplet:

Fargo and Alison no longer seemed phased by Stark's death.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oops! I'd have spoken up if Frank didn't, because phase/faze is my chosen grammatical mistake to correct. ('Faze' is from the Scots and not at all related to 'phase'.)

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

Well, the episode is named "Phased and Confused," after all...

The evil is this way?

Psst, Cindy. Did you really mean to use the word "phased" (as opposed to fazed) in this line from the TWOP recaplet:

> Fargo and Alison no longer seemed phased by Stark's death.

And then, did you mean "reckless" or are you being all literarical in this post above:

I don't know. Each week's tragedy is caused by someone who ought to know better doing something wreckless.

Cookies?? No one told me there were cookies. I'll be right over.

I don't know how old Zane is supposed to be, but I peg him at pretty early twenties. Do we know how old Zoe is? I want to say seventeen. Which, if they keep at all chaste and flirty and drag it out until she's eighteen could be OK if I squint my eyes. I think.

Meanwhile, I'm catching up on SCC via iTunes. Much with the liking. What else has the actor who played the guy who built Turk been in? I know I've seen him, but I can't peg it. Summer Glau is just such a lovely woman. Johnny needs a hair cut. Sarah C is cool, and I heart FBI guy.
