'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

OK, seriously, I know this is only half the thread for it, but could this show remind me a little more of Supernatural? I'm not sure that it could.

I love that you wrote this before the FBI team ran in to the sound track of Johnny Cash. Someone was taking notes during Nightshifter.

Wow. That swimming pool thing was amazing.

This.

Yeah, but I really, really don't want that to be the last of the series. I would not be happy.

The "conclusion" part worried me as well. My son asked me if I could stop watching it because he really kind of likes it and my shows don't usually stay on the air.

Someone was taking notes during Nightshifter.

Also The Usual Suspects.

I concur on the pool thing.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A Hillshire Farms commercial in which men in uniform were chanting "Get meat!" just ran right after a POW cannibalism scene in Medium.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The swimming pool shot w/Johnny Cash was awsome. Horrific and awsome.

I think the only cliffhanger is if Cameron will be original recipie or extra crispy. Though Derek's absence at the end makes me wonder. He can't be a terminator what with the almost dying from being shot, but he might still be programmed. And I'm very glad Dean Winters and Richard T. Jones made it through the "season".

The preview for Juliana Marguiles show made it look possibly worth a look. Bonus points for prominent use of one of my favorite Garbage songs during one of the previews.

The preview for Juliana Marguiles show made it look possibly worth a look.

I saw the pilot last summer, and while I don't remember any details, I remember finding her character interesting and the show worth another look.

Found over at TWOP:

UPDATE: Our sources within "Smallville" tell us that Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) will be back for at least a portion of the season. Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) and Allison Mack (Chloe Sullivan) are still up in the air, although renegotiations are imminent now that there has been a pick up.

(They were quoting from this site - which I haven't visited.)

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

consider this my weekly bitch about the writers changing dates.

I did love Derek taking John to the park to see his father. totally made me tear up. i really hope they don't make him "bad".

The futon critic says that they ordered 13 episodes but only shot 9:

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
due to the strike, only nine of the 13 episodes ordered this season have been completed.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Yeah, as much as I loved the b-day present, that was a simple timeline to keep intact, unless with the current timeline pushing the future Judgement Day further and further back, the future history keeps getting rewritten and pushed back as well, so perhaps with all the timey wimey stuff, with a dash of Frequency consequences, this new future has Kyle being born *before* JD. Not that I'm keeping track of when the new JD actually is, if it's not in '97 anymore, or any of the timeline stuff, in fact. My head blew up when I read that Sarah and Kyle were supposed to be 19 in the first movie, so all bets are off on my planet.
