Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

'The Message'


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

My question is, there have to be others, right? They mentioned a multiverse before; this can't be the only alternate reality. The existence of one alternate reality implies the existence of infinite alternate realities.

'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"

Do we know if Fringe has been renewed? Because if not, that's one sucky Series Finale, for sure.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay, it is DEFINITELY time to start catching up with Fringe on iTunes/Hulu.

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

yes. you need to. there was a turning point in November when the show grabbed me and didn't let go and tonight's ep was pretty awesome.

I swear Wolfram & Hart's white room was in this episode too!

Art Crawl!!!

Yes! That's where Bell's office is.

She went up and up and up - but instead of a black panther she met Spock.

I wonder if AlternaWalter is a similar genius as our Walter.

How the heck does AlternaPeter have any documentation? It certainly makes it easier for him to do the black markety stuff that he was into before being brought back to Boston.

I assumed that Peter was brought over as a 7yo to replace the Original!Peter. He's closer than most identical twins would be - I wonder if the fingerprints match (they don't, on twins), but then they don't usually fingerprint 7yos so that shouldn't be a factor.

Our wings are not tired.

Ha! That is what DH said too.

Love the show mightily and will enjoy re-watching over the summers. Peter's relationship has evolved so over the course of the season. His reaction to this is not going to be pretty.

Walter! Just can't get enough. So brilliantly constructed and portrayed.

Because books.

I assumed that Peter was brought over as a 7yo to replace the Original!Peter.

Yeah, because he remembers some things, like the smell of pancakes on Saturday mornings meaning Walter had come to the beach for the weekend.

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

So, we need to see Peter's mother because her involvement in all of this needs explanation.
