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"

Oh! I forgot about the cardboard boxes! Yeah, against something the size of a rhino, that's going to do a whole lot of good. (About the best you could hope is that a visual barricade is likely to incline an animal to go in a particular direction, as long as you leave an opening.

Art Crawl!!!

yeah, new army guy isn't nearly as cute.

But the former DC is cute. I think he'll be back. (Otherwise why quit the police?)

Not only cute, but compared to the team members, supremely competent at doing his job.

This probably means he's doomed.

eh. Not so much. Something about the way he moves, I think. for me, anyway.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Season 5 of Doctor Who airing on BBCA!!

Cool. I'm surprised they didn't air previous seasons there.

Torchwood news is good, since I have no idea when it's showing over here - but presumably, before or during July.

I watched my first episode of primeval recently, and

Like, let's block off the anomaly with empty cardboard boxes!

this just amused me. I told tivo to catch a few for me because I'm curious, but the fiendishly clever Cardboard Box Plan was hilarious.

In fact, during the showings of Primeval last Saturday, there was a brief ad for the coming Torchwood series! See, the cardboard box gambit had a redeeming side!

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

But the former DC is cute.

Really? I thought he was quite unappealing. And given his obsession without evidence of that poor kid, not all that competent.
