No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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.

"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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Dr Who was fun.

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

that was the eel she had in her fish tank.

THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND!

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

Who: Loved it! Much better than the Christmas Special. Made me realize how much I miss this show.

Does anyone know what the Doctor was referring to when he said, “I had this friend once, she called me ‘Spaceman’” ???

My god that was an awesome SCC. I expect I won't get any more show, which sucks, because I liked the themes and actors (Sarah's especially) so much. Dang.
