Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

Or possibly because NO ONE WOULD WATCH IT.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

When has the total and obvious suck of the product ever stopped them?

Oh right, my bad.

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

Maybe because they were mainly talking about Spring?

I figured they might mention it wouldn't be in the spring anymore.

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

I don't think ABC Family is ready to throw in the towel just yet. They love, and — more importantly — own The Middleman. But I think it's fair to say that they aren't going to order any new episodes in the immediate future. Right now, we are all focused on closing a deal for a DVD set that will please the fans with a lot of bonus material, bring new viewers to the show, and secure the show's legacy and longevity. As was the case with shows like Firefly, and Family Guy, the sales of the DVD will truly be the barometer for the future of The Middleman.

That's pretty close to saying that The Middleman is toast, without actually saying that it's toast.

That's too bad. I only caught one episode, but I liked it so much I was hoping for another go around.

That's a shame about The Middleman. I really liked it. Hope the DVD set is as good as they say.

TV Shows on dVd has a picture of one of the menu screens for the BSG season 4 dvds.

(Looking at this, I realize that the dvds are coming out only 10 days before the show starts up again.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I had my first dim sum today! I have concluded that it is like Chinese tapas. I had chicken wings and various shrimp potstickers and dumplings. I declined the chicken feet. We ordered eight dishes between the three of us, and I was completely surprised that it only came out to $23.50.
