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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Was that Flight of the Conchords playing on Chuck?

move out and draw fire

OK, Fay's ahead of me on Avatar because we've had to really ratchet back on watching. So I just skipped your posts, Fay.

We just finished the ep with Roku explaining what happened to him.

Here's why we've slowed our rate of consumption (other than not wanting the series to end):

1. We sent Mal to time out a couple weeks ago. When I went to release him, he turned his face away and said "I'm banished. Like Zuko. I need a reclaim my honor, but now I'm banished."

2. A couple nights ago Mal was really upset about something. I asked him what, and he said, "I need to find my destiny."

"Uh...okay."

"But I need it!"

"Sweetie, your destiny is something you have to find for yourself."

"But I want my destiny! Aang has a destiny, and Zuko has a destiny, and I have to have a destiny."

(pause) "You're going to have to wait until you are a teenager like Aang and Zuko to get a destiny."

(hands me his foam sword) "Take this to my quarters."

Raq, I've never seen Avatar, so I have no idea who any of these characters you're talking about are, but I am filled with mad love for your Mal.

Summer Glau knocked it out of the fucking park tonight.

Yeah, she was awesome. I'm also wondering what the deal is with Shirley's "daughter". Mini-me T-1000, the original's real daughter or ?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Crap, missed the first five minutes of SCC. We've come in right when the pregnant woman is in the hospital, talking to the doctor. Did we miss anything important?

Mal is totally adorable omg.

Summer Glau knocked it out of the fucking park tonight.

Oh yeah.

I'm also wondering what the deal is with Shirley's "daughter". Mini-me T-1000, the original's real daughter or ?

I know!! So that crash was a real crash, but...was she "Catherine Weaver" at that time, or what?

I really liked Jody, for some reason.

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

So has Cameron come all the way back? Or has she only got back as far as "infiltration model?" I hope John gives her a once over.

I also wonder if the counsellor made a note of his name, because that family is now triply on the police radar now.
