Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Willow ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

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?

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

"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.

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

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.

Huh. I'd forgotten that, but it makes sense. He wasn't terribly prominent in the original episode, IIRC (certainly not compared to the other two in their episodes).

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My favorite thing in "Trials and Tribble-ations" was that Jadzia seemed to have lost her mind as soon as she put on the miniskirt. She turned into a standard ST:OS bimbette, and had fun with it!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's always so completely invasive to me when someone fucks with memory. I guess because it happens in real life with disease, and it seems like memory is such a horrible thing to lose. Today I discovered a folder of old class and camp photos that I thought I'd lost, and it was crazy with the memory evoking.

I definitely thought they should have left themselves a few notes. And what will Ianto's journal say? (Ianto keeps a journal! Which caused him massive pain and then saved the day!)

But maybe having any notes about what happened at all would have triggered memory of and therefore existence of Adam.

he probably didn't have time to write anything down. I think that it's fine with Rhys because Rhys didn't have any Adam memories. He may not even remember him in the 2 days because he was so upset about Gwen that he might not have noticed him.
