Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

I don't know what a Jeffries tube is - I thought of Die Hard.

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

They're what the conduits on Star Trek are called. They're named after the set designer on Trek: [link]

BTW, anyone heard any Torchwood scheduling news?

I mean, wasn't the Torchwood panel today?

I'm wondering whether the fleet is going to split - the coup didn't work, obviously, but there are still a lot of people who can't abide the decision to partner with the Cylons, and I wonder whether they'll split off. All this has happened before, and all...

I don't know that I think Ellen has been with the Cavils. I don't know where I think she's been, but we did see her with a Centurion. Maybe there's a rogue band of demon hunters Centurions out there somewhere. I dunno.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Maybe the Centurion that Baltar was messing with in The Hub had some like-minded buddies who didn't like being manipulated by the skinjobs.

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

Just watched bits of the Dr. Who season finale and BBC America totally mangled the human Doctor/Rose Bad Wolf Bay moment. I trust PBS left it be.

Don't know how they handled un-Doctoring Donna. Couldn't stay around for that.

I think they skipped a bit of the un-Doctoring Donna, too--some of the Doctor/Wilf conversation. Very disappointing, especially the Bad Wolf Bay part.

Did they chop it up worse than Scifi did?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yes, they did, in order to get the preview of Ashes to Ashes in. I'm glad I saw it before the cuts!

Barbaric, it was.

Slightly spoilery interview with Eve Myles about the next season of Torchwood.

I liked this bit about the first season:

I think the moment where Gwen catches Ianto and Jack kissing is hilarious. And even doing it - I had to go in, and they would be kissing, and then I'd say, "Oh! My God!" And I didn't, for a good long while. I kind of let them carry on. And they were like, "Oh, please, Eve! [laughs]" And so we did it again. And that was great fun.
