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.
Won't everyone have gone their way for the season by then?

Depends on the contracts, and I wouldn't put it past the Fox overlords to put some sort of technical hold on the actors to prevent them trying out for other shows, et cetera, if they could.

I expect that someday Fox will advance to signing talented actors to development contracts with no-competition clauses but no actual projects to work on, just to make sure they're not making quality programs on other networks.

Yep. That's why we got Timothy Dalton as James Bond (ptui! Let us never speak of it again). They wanted Pierce Brosnan back then, but he was tied into a development deal at NBC, and they wouldn't let him go.

I thought development deals did at least have the intent of producing some sort of profitable show involving the talent signed, even if circumstances don't actually work out that way?
