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.

Loved the reveal about the inhabitants of Earth!

Oh noes about Lee and Dualla (maybe they'll do it right this time?). I forget, what was the status between Lee and Kara as of the first half of the season?

Also, almost none of the stuff they're finding should be there after 2000 years of wind and water erosion. Sufficiently large stone blocks might weather the time, but all the exposed metal would have oxidized long ago and small debris on the surface would have been covered up by sediment.

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

Whoah.

I didn't get teary-eyed over Dee. Not with Lee. Not until Papadama showed up drunk and confused.

When your last best hope, what kept you surviving for the past four years on the idea that you'd finally get to live again, turns out to be hopeless, what do you do? What's the point of surviving anymore? Contagious suicide, it seems.

shit on a shingle.

Who wants to talk about grim and depressing now?!

And I so had hoped that that spoiler I'd read was false.

So the 5th cylon spoiler *was* true.

I'm not sure why Lee is so confused about Dee's motivation. She wanted to go out happy even though she thought there was nothing to live for.

Art Crawl!!!

I don't think he understood that - because suicide isn't in his head at all.

(And I thought when he left that he was more angry - possibly because it appears he's the child of two alcoholics not just one.)

And Kara is going to keep that secret.

I love how freaked out Leoben was by what the Hybrid has said to Kara.

And I knew that we'd find out who the fifth was right away. . . if that's what that means.

Did they actually say that the planet wasn't actually our Earth, but the planet that the 13th colony (of Cylons) decided to call Earth?
