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 are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So, Doug Henshall is gone from the Primeval credits, with the DC guy in his place. I'm kinda scared the change might stick. They're running out of academics.

Oh, I'm sure it will stick. I heard somewhere that Henshall wanted out.

I've seen the whole season, now, and, well. This show is deeply, deeply stupid. All the characters are stupid and they clearly think the viewers are, too. Hell, even Helen's stupid, because if she'd explained what she was doing, she might have gotten some help. Instead she simply became the Big Bad, with no motivation other than destruction.

I'm only vaguely interested to see where they take next season, assuming they're coming back.

'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"

Having only seen a handful of episodes from the first and third seasons, I'm bemused how a character has gone from a PR spokesperson to a team leader.

Because when I look for qualifications to head a group that deals with unknown and very lethal critters, needing a high level knowledge of biology and physics and other sciences, and using guns and tranquilizer darts, I always go for a background in marketing and public speaking.

He was so adorable! Poor Emerson; I really wanted him to get his little girl back.
