Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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.

Huh! I missed that, for sure!!!

that wasn't the drone that liquified and joined Weaver. that was the eel she had in her fish tank.

Wild!

I just made a huge OH! face. Excellent catch.

Will have to watch again to catch all the cool details, but in the interim. Day-um. That was awesome.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The Terminator finale rocked my head, it was awesome. Also, the braless scene was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

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

I was WONDERING what that was. That's so awesome. Especially because they even highlighted the eel last week.

Josh Malina ready to believe Sarah they can start stockpiling up against Armageddon Day.

I wasn't entirely sure whether he was serious or not. It seemed too easy. I mean, it took Ellison a lot longer to come around; he hadn't even seen any actual robots. Although the age discrepancy sure would raise some eyebrows, I don't know that he would suddenly make the logical leap to KILLER ROBOTS AAAAAH. He is a funny boy, though.

I love Josh Malina; he's always so earnest and right in all his roles. OTOH, yeah, it's hard to believe he wasn't playing her at least a little bit.

And it's not unheard of for people to age without looking much older: there's a recent story about a 30-year-old sexual predator who enrolled in a middle school and got away with it for quite a while.

OTOH, the security footage from the jail breakout pretty much gives the game away. They can't ignore that, or that Cameron didn't actually kill anyone.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

And it's not unheard of for people to age without looking much older:

And the remark about not looking 45, but looking 37? Yeah, depending on the person, this age totally looks the same. Comment makes sense if you are talking about different decades or wider span of years. To me she looks more like 42 and six months.

She looks younger than me, but not by nine years. Of course, I don't know if I look my age, either. One would assume that a stressful life makes you look older, too, in which case SA Aldredge's argument doesn't really hold up.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I recently learned someone I worked with will turn 59 this month. I worked with him ten years ago and I would have guessed his age at 59 back then. It's too hard to judge with some people and I think that is pretty common.

Also, Darn you show for making me care about it again. I swear in a past life I must have cancelled shows left and right with no regard for content or fan base. Karma is the only explanation for me being so close to not caring and then being pulled back in when there was no hope.

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

The only thing I came out of that sure of was that the eel was Weaver. So bits of them can live independently.

So small in the big picture.
