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.

Well, I was a little disappointed. I found this episode particularly hard to follow and found myself getting frustrated with the whole aunts-don't-know storyline. What is the reason for that again? And, did we learn Lily's secret last season?

Yes, it was the final scene of the season.

I suppose that (for whatever reason) Chuck doesn't want the Aunts to know that she is undead.

Well, somehow I understood that at first, but now it just seems cruel.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

My only disappointment with the episode is that the beginning was so "plot so far" during the first half. Otherwise I adored it. I do hope Olive isn't at the convent too long.

'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"

The pace seemed WAY too fast, especially compared to the S1 episode I showed my friend right afterward. But perhaps I merely need to watch it again to catch all that went past....

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

My only disappointment with the episode is that the beginning was so "plot so far" during the first half.

I think they wanted to make sure the new viewers were caught up since they'd been off the air for so long, but yeah - WAY too much recapping!

I was somewhat disappointed in that I felt both Olive and Lily were off last night. Olive is not that stupid and Lily is not that mean.

Still, happy to have it back on my tube and still adoring Emerson.

Oh, I totally figured that's what it was. Hope the ratings are good (especially since SCC is tanking right now).

I heard (on Fresh Air maybe?) that ratings are down all over - that Grey's Anatomy ratings and Heroes' ratings were way down from last season's premieres. Maybe SCCs ratings are just reflecting the general trend?
