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

I mean Neo was perhaps the least interesting character in the Matrix trilogy

It doesn't help that the actor playing the character has about as much emotion as a block of wood.

But he's so pretty! And apparently smart enough to have built a career around that.

Whoa. Good CHUCK so far. I have no idea how Casey ISN'T going to kill Chuck at this point, except possibly due to orders.

“Not dead yet!”

Chuck in black, wielding weapons...

I'ma gonna be in my corner.

And no one else but Scott Bakula could have possibly played that part.

Even though the stupid preview last week kinda gave the game away, he really sold me on the "crazy, paranoid dad" thing.

The only thing I wish was that they had gotten Albert Brooks for the Chevy Chase role so there could be a big Ken Scorpio shout out.

And here I was thinking it would've been perfect if they could've gotten Dean Stockwell for the Chevy Chase role.

Dang, though, you forget how freakin' big all the main guys on that show are until you get someone of normal size like Scott Bakula around them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How tall is AB?

Ha! Yeah, that works too.

Also, Adam Baldwin makes it frighteningly convincing that it would take three tranq darts to take him down, though his little moments of tranq euphoria were also priceless.

How tall is AB?

He's 6'4", Zach Levi is 6'4", and Ryan McPartlin is 6'3".

IMDB lists Scott Bakula as 6' even.

Art Crawl!!!

Adam Baldwin being tranqed was HILARIOUS. Also, Casey and Sarah undercover at the RIOS launch. Something about the way that they ran when they were moving from the crowd to the main part of the building.

I thought that Scott Bakula was excellent as Chuck and Ellie's dad. (Did you notice that Bakula and Levi have the same eyebrows?)

Also, I loved how Jeff and Lester pitched in creating mayhem when Chuck was trying to escape from the auditorium with the remote.
