Fire bad. Tree pretty.

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.

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

Probably, sumi.

So, does Gaeta live? I think he can buy it without being martyred, and I can't see him and Kara both living to see the end of the series. Right now who I want to die most is Seelix, since I thought her whole bit to Anders was remarkably despicable. Sometimes it is personal, sweetie.

Right - but the scene that Baltar mentioned with the pen was in season 3 - before the trial.

Yep, it was, so the purgery isn't what Baltar was talking about, which is knowable whether or not one has seen the webisodes. I'm just saying to megan walker that the secret really is revealed in the webisodes, though that doesn't mean that they won't reveal it in the show at some point. I get the "don't want to have to have watched the webbies," but they really were kind of informative. Don't know that I'd call it a major plot point, though. Just deepens the understanding of Felix's motivations, I think.

God, yes, Seelix was just horrible. Blech.

I don't think Tigh or Adama is dead. We'll see. I do think Ellen is the Fifth. I still have no freakin' clue about Starbuck.

Yes, I had liked Seelix before this but that was just disgusting.

I just hope they don't pull a Newhart with RDM waking up in bed with David Eick talking about the strangest dream he just had. Considering all of the frakked up shit that's gone on in this series and how few episodes we have left... well, I'm curious to see how they wrap it up. Hopefully there's a satisfying explanation for it all.

Okay, the Newhart thing?

Totally perfect for the little cartoon at the end of the show for the last episode ever.

Bear McCreary's blog post for "The Oath" is up - but mentions some stuff about the score for the next episode so may be regarded as spoilery by some.

Damn, that's a lot of musical detail. I feel like a heathen for missing most of it, though I'm sure it all contributes to the overall effect.

Interested to note the tsuzumi--we had an instrument like that growing up, but it was African, not Japanese.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I knew I heard a biwa! I had a chance to buy one of those in a random store in, like, Nashville or somewhere. But I didn't.
