So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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.

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

I like that idea.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, that's my bet. And it means that Cylon procreation has being going on for longer than we knew. Though it still leaves some big questions about her.

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

Sumi, that makes more sense, merely based on a comment from another cop show I watched this week.

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

Niice, I like the idea that Starbuck is the daughter of the lost Cylon! That would tie up another thread nicely.

Bad Wolf

Starbuck did paint that symbol so i don't think we should throw out that option. That's artistic right.

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

Did anyone feel that this episode was too much exposition? I understand they were dealing with a budget, but couldn't we have seen some of the stuff that was described and not told?

Art Crawl!!!

It was very expositiony (BSG, right?) - but I still enjoyed it.

So sad to see poor falling apart Galactica.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

don't recall her even mentioning gang rape--just that it was a federal prison, and that they were worse than the alternative, state prison.

She said "you know what they will do you the first night. And the second". And since he did not cooperate it is pretty clear he is being sent off to the Federal prison. What the else is she implying? The other prisoners are going to call him names? And yet, I'm sure he is an evil awful villain. But there are supposed to be limits to what is done even to evil awful villains.

Did 7 even make it out of the box? This ep didn't grab me enough, so I missed parts of the infodump.
