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

Any questions/comments for BSG cast & crew? Leaving for the screening/upfronts in 5 minutes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Who do they (both cast and crew) think had the most interesting character arc? (I want to hear someone say Gaeta, damnit!)

Did everything that the creators/writers had planned on getting into the show make it in over the course of four years?

Do they know that they're going to be in demand at SF conventions for the rest of their lives?

ETA: Damnit, I just noticed the time stamp. Missed her!

Honestly, it's not that SciFi is changing their name, it's that they're changing it to something really really stupid.

I am a-boggle. Dumb spelling, and SyFy sounds/reads exactly zero broader than Sci-fi in terms of what might be aired. God. Someone(s) got paid, and probably a shitload, to come up with that, which, if it were good, wouldn't be bad, but it's really bad, so I resent that person/company's fee!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There used to be a website named SyFy Portal, I recall. It looks like they just changed their name to Airlock Alpha.

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

Considering that SciFi is showing increasingly less science fiction and increasingly more unrelated crap, I feel a certain amount of relief that they'll have a name more fitting for non-sf crap.

I just checked, and there's an existing esseff.com.

P-C, syfy portal sold their domain to an undisclosed buyer.

Ah, interesting. Thanks. I knew the "SyFy" name was familiar.

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

I thought the name change was just a medication-induced hallucination. April come early. But seriously? Seriously?

I have a random preview-generated question. I don't watch The Ghost Whisperer, I just see the previews. What's up with her dead husband? I can't believe I'm curious, but inquiring minds want to know.

Sorry y'all - there was no cell reception anywhere in the building, so I couldn't check back OR post! I couldn't even get to Twitter! It was like the dark ages!

The SyFy (ugh) publicist kept RDM in interview mode for the whole party so I didn't get a chance to corner him about how I *totally called the end of the show* two or three years ago, only at the time I thought I was joking. MMcD and EJO were likewise mobbed with fans, and everyone else in the cast must have been off working on their new shows or something.

Also,RDM made the entire audience swear a no-spoilers oath before the screening, so my eyes rolled out of my head and under a chair somewhere and I missed the whole thing. (Just kidding. But since this was the only screening and they're not sending out DVDs, I'm going to keep my word and not spoil.)

The only non-press person I really talked to was CFerg, who I told to post on B.org more. (And, PS, now that I know you're lurking you have no excuse not to at least log in and say hi. HI COLIN!)

There were no swag bags. Stupid economy. I was really hoping for a Caprica DVD.
