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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

BAG brought an A-game I didn't know he had.

yep. I stopped watching several eps ago, but would have stopped even earlier if it hadn't been for BAG.

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

I'm terrified for Savannah at this point. Most of the episode I thought John Henry had developed true feelings, but now I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

Really? I'm pretty certain at this point. I used to be worried for Savannah, but I've come to realize that John Henry is her Uncle Bob. He will never hurt her.

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

yes, but he isn't fiercely protective either. I think he could do something (or not do something) that might hurt her.

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

What le nubian said. Especially with "Catherine" saying she's expendable to him, and his new sense of self-preservation.

“Not dead yet!”

But a pang about Owen? Would have thought that UNPOSSIBLE based on that episode. And yet...there it is.

I watched that ep again, Frank, and was just hit with what arcs all those characters took. And yes, on the pang about Owen-- god, but he was such a prick back in the early days.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I only got caught up with TSCC last night, and I'm gobsmacked about the whole thing, and so proud the show was almost off-handed about Derek's death while at the same time making it so important to the characters.

And watching the ending again, I realized that Sarah's fight with the cops at the end wasn't just struggle for the sake of struggle, panic or anything like that -- she knew John was right behind her, and she wanted to make enough of a diversion that he could get away clean.

Shades of a mother bird pretending to have a broken wing to draw a fox away from her nest.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I almost mentioned this last week but forgot, but this week cinched it. Silas' right-hand-woman Tomasina reminds me so much of Zoe. Stunningly beautiful black woman playing a steadfast, terse, efficient, level-headed character, and then she mentions "Serenity". I know they mentioned it last week, but this week I was getting Zoe/Mal/Firefly vibes like mad!

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

oh that's interesting. I see it.

Ack! Macaulay Culkin next week? Kid has not grown up well. Staring at Prince Jack's sickly, sniveling face is bad enough.

chocolate cake: why did the reverend decide against going to the meeting? What was the meaning of the royal flag (or smokestack)?

Wes Studi, noes!
