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."

cool. but why didn't Ellen & Tigh have kids I wonder?

my antipathy toward Baltar is well-documented. I have nothing more to say! :-)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Did they ever show Tigh/6's transition to a happy couple?

They were holding hands on Earth in the last scene before the break. Otherwise, no.

I don't have trouble buying it, somehow. Tigh/Six makes sense to me.

Speaking of Ellen...what, did Tigh tell everyone she was the fifth Cylon? Why did Lee make the "she" slip-up? That seems like a scene we ought to have seen. Who knows about the fifth?

Our wings are not tired.

Throughout the entire episode I felt like we had missed an entire episode.

I think he told the Admiral and the (Acting) president.

6/Tigh's baby isn't a human/Cylon hybrid.

Perhaps Ellen and Tigh didn't want kids.

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

yeah, maybe so? the whole thing is weird. I hope there is a cursory explanation.

I know 6/T isn't human/cylon, but 6 said that cylons couldn't breed at all...so the whole thing is wild.

'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"

Well, they hadn't bred yet. Tigh's headspace is mostly human, arguably the most human of all the crypto-Cylons. That has to count for something.

I STILL want to know what the source of all the visions sending them to Earth was, and why they were sent on a wild Cylongoose chase to it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Remnants.

Watch it. It's cool.

Well, Ellen made some comment about how it was a good thing that they didn't have kids - but I don't know whether that meant that it just never happened (if you're married and you never had kids - you're CYLONS!) or that they never wanted them, i.e., made the decision to not have them.

But, perhaps the visions sent them to Earth that Was so that the final five could realize who they were and get those memories back. . . in a way to help history NOT repeat. (Not working so well so far.)

In only slightly bsg related news - check out the Cylon sock yarn and the cool socks that the Yarn Harlot made with her "Eye of Jupiter" sock yarn. (Scroll down -you'll see them.)

Very interesting, Tom! I love John August because of Go. And hey, one of the producers was Dan Etheridge, who produced VM. Which explains a certain cameo.
