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.

Did KFC change their promotion from Frak Pak to Can't-say-fr*k-on-TV (pronounced "can't say that word on TV")? Is it the same one, or a new one?

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

I didn't love this week as much as last, but DAYUM. Remind me never to piss off Laura Roslin or Bill Adama. They will CUT YOU.

I'm assuming Anders survives. We last saw him still barely alive and on his way to the infirmary, and I just can't see them killing off a Final Five (a) offscreen and (b) right before Ellen comes back to explain everything.

They do still have the resurrection bathtubs, just not the backend infrastructure that makes them work. But maybe Ellen can explain that too.

Our wings are not tired.

BSG was a world of awesomeness. Good stuff.

Tyrol's a big damn hero. Zarek - wow his Evil was more Evil than anticipated. Noooo, Anders! (not dead)

I did feel sad for Gaeta. He wasn't always deserving of death like Zarek. I'll miss him.

Won't miss the Quorum, the annoying fools. But, that was quite the surprise to kill 'em all.

Looking forward to Ellen's return, in particular the Tigh & Ellen show. They serve up a bit of sick comic relief.

I'm anticipating some tear inducing loving scenes for Bill & Laura before her death. That better be the last episode!

Wasn't Ellen killed while the resurrection system was still in place? Not that I can think of a place she might have been this whole time except with Cavil.

I think so, ita. If my foggy memory can be trusted the resurrection stuff was blowed up after the New Caprica time. We may get some flashback scenes of what Ellen has been doing, but really I want to see her mix with the rest of the crew again. She is fun.

Not just Tigh & Ellen either - Tigh & Ellen & Tigh's pregnant girlfriend. Good times!

Wasn't Ellen killed while the resurrection system was still in place?

Oh, good point. But I also can't figure out how she wouldn't have popped up sooner if she's been re-alive all this time.

Totally wrong, the resurrection ship was gone before Tigh killed Ellen. eta: I'm still confused. Clearly I have no clue of the actual timeline. I expect they will clarify, or not.

Not just Tigh & Ellen either - Tigh & Ellen & Tigh's pregnant girlfriend. Good times!

Ellen's scenes with lots of people are interesting. Bill and Starbuck should have interesting reactions too.

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

you know, the resurrection scene from the trailer might be a flashback.

I still don't know what took 18 months.

I can't quite tell from the wikipedia short synopses, but it seems Pegasus and Galactica went after a resurrection hub, which would be while Ellen was still alive (2.12), but they are in pursuit of a resurrection hub in 4.11, which is after.

I couldn't begin to guess at who was in range of what. I'm sure New Caprica must have been in range.

Pegasus & Galactica went after a resurrection ship, not the hub. The hub was still in place when Ellen died.
