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.

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

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.

“Not dead yet!”

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.

Adam Baldwin being tranqed was HILARIOUS.

I think he managed to top the hilariousness of his similar scene in The Train Job.

I loved how as Chuck ran up the stairs Casey was still reaching up to try to stop him.

Do we talk about Lost in Austen here? I mean, it's definitely fantasy!

I really enjoyed the first episode and Florence Hoath who played Nancy in "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" plays Kitty.

I loved Casey's indignation at Chuck only pointing a tranq gun at him-- so very Casey.
