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 am so terrified that he'll find out about Owen.

I hope that he does, and he leaves her. Yeah, I don't like Gwen, I said it. Cheating, I can get over, but confessing, demanding forgiveness, then retconning him? Awful.

But Rhys leaving might cause them to try to push Gwen and Jack together. ugh. That reminds me, where the hell did the "not like I love you" come from? I hate the way that they're trying to force something with the two of them. The actors are doing a good job, they hit the right notes, but it's just not there. Does anyone else see it? or am I just blinded by my OTP of Jack/Ianto?

Someone should make sure Barrowman knows this so he can start writing some.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Whew! 500 posts, three Torchwoods, two SCC, one Wednesday and I am finally caught up.

Someone should make sure Barrowman knows this so he can start writing some.

I think he would make me blush. No, I know I would blush.

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

With most sci-fi celebrities, I want to keep them insulated from the freakier side of fandom if possible, but that's based on wanting to avoid embarrassment on their part. In the past thirteen years I have never seen a single indication that John Barrowman is capable of feeling embarrassment, or even that he is aware of the concept in a theoretical sense.

He can see our craxy, and raise us.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yeah, for some reason, I'm kind of nonplussed by the idea of GDL reading fanfic.

I think maybe it's because we're not really going anywhere the show isn't going? It's not like any of the cast are going to look at the internet and think "Oh, my god, what are those people thinking?" We're thinking exactly what the show gives us.

IOTorchwoodN, spoilers for 208:

I loved this episode. LOVED. Burn Gorman is doing amazing, delicate, clever work, and I'm glad they've started writing up to his abilities. I think this whole season in general shows a better understanding of the cast, and they're playing to their strengths.

The episode reminded me of Random Shoes, actually.

Ianto continues to be hilarious with his FACES, and his "It's not like that," about him and Jack. They're clearly going somewhere with it, and at some point, someone is actually going to talk about this relationship.

I am dubious about the preview for next week. Zombies and alien babies and shapeshifter's and Gwen's wedding and protestations of love (possibly aimed at Jack, but who knows, with a shapeshifter)?

This phrase makes me smile. I just imagine trying to measure this and establishing the baseline.

He can see our craxy, and raise us.

And wear a beautiful smile while doing it.

Dana, I haven't seen this week's yet, but OMG SO TRUE about Burn. I'm still not unconvinced that the character's basically a dick, but my S1 mixing up of dickish character and meh actor? Just, please, smack me upside the head .
