They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, I get that the machines created a plague, but I feel like this is the first I've heard of it. I wish they had hinted that this was among the things the machines had done to wipe us out!

It just seems like they are adding crap to the narrative that doesn't really make a lot of sense when taken together.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

ln, unfortunately that pretty much has to happen when you open up a 2-hour (6 hour, with the sequels) story for two seasons's worth of storytelling.

This was my thinking. The plague element just seemed shoehorned in there. It left me dissatisfied with an otherwise enjoyable episode.

Plus, it's that guy! Whedon hat trick, Carlos Jacott. He does the weak husband role so well.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am watching the BSG movie, Razor, now, and it stars the woman on SCC who annoys the frak out of me. Is she as annoying in Razor, or is it just my residual annoyance with her SCC role?

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I personally don't find her annoying in either role so I would say it's your thing. Or a thing for the people who find her annoying.

Did you watch the super cool minisodes first? With the extra cute young Bill Adama?

I really don't want them to make this. The series is just perfection as it is. Also, WTF at their casting choice for Zuko????

I will always remember him as Ken the demon. "What's with all the sin?"

Well, I think I remember him as the Bounty Hunter on Firefly and the Werewolf Hunter on Buffy - more.

Sophia, the minisodes should be on the dvd with the movie.

Here is the first one - on youtube.

Oh- I ended up getting the movie on iTunes, so it doesn't come with anything. Thanks for the link to youtube, though.
