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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Wait, ita...are you saying Star Trek time-travel is sloppy?!

HERETIC!!

No, you're absolutely right. Just about every time they go back in time they "fix" it, but it just...there's all these gaps that never...urgh.

One of my favorite Trek time-travel moments, though, happens in DS:9's "Trial and Tribble-ations". The whole episode was fun, but my favorite bit is at the beginning of the ep when the Starfleet time cops are interviewing Sisko and Kirk gets mentioned. And their response is one of disgust: "Oh, KIRK. Guy's a menace. We got files and files on that guy. What a fucker."

Not, you know, verbatim, but that was the gist.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Trial and Tribble-ations"

Why do the Klingons look like that?

It is a long story.

I love the bit where Worf doesn't want to talk about the old-timey Klingons.

eta - Klingon x-post!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I thought it was "By the way, I found Grey".

Yep, that was it -- Capt. John very obviously taunting Jack with something he'd want to know before vanishing. The fact that it was dropped in the first story, then refrained here, indicates that it's probably tied in to the major season arc somewhere.

side note: they seem to swallow that "G" a lot.

Ahem. How many ways can we turn that into an innuendo?

Or is turning "Torchwood"-related things into innuendo pretty much gilding the lilly?

"Trial and Tribble-ations"

Love that episode. Love it. Wasn't one of Jadzia's blood brothers the lead Klingon in that episode (and, of course, the original Trouble with Tribbles)?

They actually brought back the three original actors to play the roles from "Trouble with Tribbles", "Day of the Dove", and a third episode I can't remember. Possibly the one with the Organians.

Yup, Koloth, Kang, and Kor, respectively. Except Koloth didn't appear in "Trial and Tribble-ations," probably to avoid further retconnish questions.

eta: And John Colicos, who played Kor, was also the original Baltar.

Oh, right, I'm thinking of a different DS9 episode. Sorry.
