Dr. Walsh ,'Potential'


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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I think that for the next F2F, we need to have Food Poker.

In the terms of roll call, I'm one of the real spoiler avoidant, but I know that Dr. Who casting spoiler. So you don't have to step carefully around me, which is normally the case.

That's sweet Liese, but there's no need to have a roll call, as casting spoilers should be discussed in Spoilers Lite. I think that we're treading on dangerous ground by deciding that since "everyone" knows, it's not a spoiler. (and in this case, I still don't know and am trying to keep it that way).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

and in this case, I still don't know and am trying to keep it that way).

I'm with you on this one, Vortex. Lalalalalala....happily unspoiled....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, if I'm reading it right, this would fall under Summer Casting Rules which would mean it could be discussed in this thread and only in this thread after four weeks (after the announcement, since it's well after four weeks after the end of the season).

However, it's made complicated by the fact that this is a group thread. The original rules were assuming a single show thread, back in Buffy/Angel days.

Our wings are not tired.

Discussing in other threads seems a reasonable plan to protect the virginity of Vortex and ChiKat.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I don't mind discussing the spoiler news in Spoilers Lite.

It's only polite, really. I mean, I'm sure Vortex and ChiKat don't want to hear us gushing over how Gilbert Gottfried has been hired to be the voice of the next K-9

Anne clearly wants to punish me for avoiding the spoiler

You mean avoiding the news that Carrot Top is the next companion?

Oh, my word, Frank. I seriously almost posted the very. same. thing. last night. That's freaky.

Happy Halloween, Boxed Setians.
