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

excellent point. you know, you'd think with Harry Potter movies they'd be able to id an owl.

short version: dollhouse may be renewed. terminator, not so much.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

As much as I like Dollhouse and am interested to see where it might go, if given the choice, I would have it the other way around.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Wasn't Dalek Khan the black shiny Dalek? That ended up being just the blobby Dalek body at the end?

Pshaw, I could identify that guy! And so could the children of the UK, I am pretty sure about that.

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

Hey, what happened at the end of Fringe? AI ran long and Tivo cut off the last minute or so, just as Olivia was comparing the sketch to the guy in the van.

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

Me too, me too!

'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"

As much as I like Dollhouse and am interested to see where it might go, if given the choice, I would have it the other way around.

Me too -- except that while I've watched it, Dollhouse has not caught me up except in an intellectually curious way, as in 'Can Joss eventually make this better?' but TSSC has had me tuning in each week even caring about the robot characters and what they'll do next. And the producers aren't sentimental about killing off characters, either.

Vortex, I watched the end on Hulu:

They catch the guy in the van, and save the current victim in the trunk. Olivia goes back to the basement lab and tells the kid that they're taking him to a home with a family. He seems at peace with that, though not happy. Then we see her boss explaining to the agent expecting him that the kid managed to escape the security detail "somehow." How perplexing.

Brief interlude with Olivia playing Simon Says with her niece..whatever. Then cut to the kid being driven somewhere--he looks a bit happy now, but then the music turns ominous and he looks worried as they drive by the Watcher, who it turns out he resembles quite a bit. The Watcher and the kid stare at each other, but the car keeps going on.

I've got to say, that was a very good kid actor, to carry the whole episode without saying a word.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought so too.

Promo for next week's Fringe - for those of us (me!) whose tivo didn't catch the end of the episode.

And some not so good news for Kings - it's being moved to Saturdays.
