Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

Why was no one "taking care" of Roslin? It wasn't a secret where she was staying, so why not have a crew arresting her?

I can't believe that they just left Roslin in Adama's quarters. Surely, they would, at least, have taken her to the brig.

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

I don't think the bad guys knew where she was. As for that Torchwood stuff--so they'll air the promo then? I need to know where to be!

I assume they'll air it. I hope so.

And then, I hope, it will appear in places like ScifiWire, youtube, spoilertv etc. shortly thereafter.

Since he mentioned a pen, I assumed that the Gaeta/Baltar secret was about when Baltar was forced to sign the execution order back on New Caprica and Gaeta lied about.

ETA: At least I hope so. I don't want to have to watch webisodes to follow major plot points.

At 1pm Pacific they're airing an ep of How Clean is your House? At 4 BBC World News America.

But the clip is being released to newsmedia at that time: so could appear on things like Entertainment Tonight sometime that night.

Megan - I immediately thought of that scene when Baltar was in the brig and Gaeta tried to stab him with the pen and Baltar has some secret on Gaeta at that point. (Which was clarified in the webisodes.)

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

Was anyone else reminded of Buffy being voted out in season 7?

I don't believe Adama or Tigh or Roslin will die just yet because if they were going to die, they would have killed them this episode, you know? They killed a bunch of other people, after all. Random characters who apparently had names? I can never keep track of all the quaternary characters.

But this was a much better episode than last week's.

I assumed the secret was that Gaeta committed perjury.

I have a question regarding Lee's bringing up the nuking of the Colonies to Tigh. It's true that the Cylons will never not have committed hardcore genocide, but it's also true that a great many Cylons (besides the Final Five, if you agree that various incarnations of each model are individuals) had no part in that action. Do they deserve condemnation by association? I've been a Cylon sympathizer for a while, so I don't think they do. It makes sense to me, but I know many fans and most of the Fleet disagree.
