Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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 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.

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

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.

Oh, so they went and got Lou Diamond Phillips, meaning now I have to watch. Whatever, SGU.

Homeslice looked tired. I hope this isn't (B)SG. I like some levity. Otherwise it's all from Eureka and that Warehouse 51 show which looks like the basic "Random nifty tech toys" premise of Eureka, but with a less domestic backdrop.

He did, didn't he? Rough day through the wormhole, I guess.

I hope this isn't (B)SG. I like some levity.

I agree - I was thinking something along the lines of "I hope they don't feel the need to emulate the grim that was BSG in hopes of some critical acclaim/comparisons." It did look mighty "serious face," though.

I have been jonesing for some new Eureka for a while now. I think I've watched one old ep a week on hulu for the last couple of weeks. Last night was Right as Raynes, but I fell asleep halfway through. Not that that was the most levity-filled ep, but still.
