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.

Is the (other) red white and blue girl supposed to be Deborah Winger?

We couldn't decide if it was Wonder Girl or Dyna Girl

Is it sad that, clicking the link, I thought it was about relationships and not spaceships?

ah, the lack of an apostrophe is key. a relationship is a 'ship, not a ship

The second season of Pushing Daisies begins in the UK today, so the unaired episodes should be broadcast there in April. Ausiello reports that Bryan Fuller is in talks with DC to continue the series as a comic, for which Warner Bros. has given approval. The unaired episodes seem unlikely to air on ABC.

I hate it when they practically force us to ahem.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yay Middleman!

(Although I had assumed it wasn't happening so I ahemed a few, bought some from iTunes, was unable to dl from iTunes, and ahemed the ones I'd paid for. That's fair, right?)

Sure.

Apparently, the Super!Lana thing is now in the comics so it's canon? Or is it some weird aberration?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

sumi, that's Lois. And that's All-Star Superman, which is not in regular continuity. And the juice only gave her superpowers for a day. So, yeah, weird aberration.

Also...wait, what Super!Lana? Is this something awful that's happened on Smallville this season? I was thinking of catching up when they confirm that this is the last season, but what??

All is well that ends in pizza.

Also...wait, what Super!Lana? Is this something awful that's happened on Smallville this season?

Don't read any further if you don't want to be spoiled before you watch.

It was going great this season and then they brought back Lana and after last night she now has some sort of genetic supersuit bonded to her/replacing her skin.

OTOH? It can't end well.

We have seen not much of Lois since the return of Lana at the wedding of Jimmy and Chloe.

On the good side, we've seen some excellent character work this season, and continuity and stuff.

Including three characters from the Legion of Super Heroes, one of which questioned the inaccuracies of the show vs Superman canon. "No glasses, no tights, no flights - Are we sure we have the right guy?"

Remember Lex's SuperSoldier project? (That gave us multiple Tahmoh Peniketts?)

She had them make her a Prometheus suit so she can be invincible and save the world.

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