Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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 not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rodney's just an emotionally unavailable ass. Ronon mightn't talk much, but that doesn't make him distant.

I never liked the doctor anyway.

'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"

Yes, the Asgard were the real surprise. Why not suggest that they vacate the Pegasus galaxy and come back to ours, since presumably we could help them get their tech back up and running?

But I wonder how many Stargates blew up while all this was going on? Especially as aside from the Travellers, there would be no way for one planet to warn another other than by sending something through one?

"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

I bet all the planets with busy trade markets now have immense blast craters where their civilizations used to be. Both gates on either end of an open wormhole would overload, right?

I loved that Teyla was (as usual) the voice of reason, pointing out to John that stopping the Aterro Device was a way higher priority than saving Rodney or the crew of the Daedalus.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Going back to US LoM for a moment. For those who ahem these things, there is a copy of the preair pilot doing the rounds. This one starred Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt and apparently followed the UK pilot script more closely. The network didn't like it, so they recast and rewrote and reshot the pilot.

I heard that the opposite was true: the Kelley pilot was less like the original and the new one is more like it.

The one they used is very like the original.

The original? The aired version? Both?
