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.

I really think that Gerald McRaney was always meant to die the way he did but that some of the other changes - the smaller cast are purely what they could afford. I hope, for example, that we see Gray and Ma Green again.

ION, BSG prequel Caprica appears to be a go:

According to KoenigRules latest radio show, Caprica is approved and shooting in two weeks, and that it's going immediately to series.

that podcast.

ETA: The podcast says it's replacing Flash Gordon. Interesting assuming that their source really is a good one.

Hah, I'd completely forgotten the Xander/Angel mouth-to-mouth thing. Thanks for retrospectively ruining BtVS and Angel for me too!

Edit: I'm joking, of course, but you're right. I need to relax (and spend my spare time imagining the practicalities of television series where half the characters can't actually talk).

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

Whatsername (Carol Butler? oh, Carol Barbee) talked about this at WonderCon. They knew from the beginning that he was going to die because he was the highest authority in the Jericho, and he needed to be taken out so that Jake and Co. would be forced to rise to the challenge.

Trust my rage

Yeah, his death seemed organic to me. Even Bonnie's apparent death seems like it is mostly telling a story. The other characters have just...disappeared. Next thing you know, they will be in comas in a hospital for the rest of the show.

(Speaking of the show, I know there are only 7 episodes for this season but when might we know if there will be a new season?)

I don't know - the last episode will air on March 25th. Possibly not 'til after that.

Even Bonnie's apparent death

Oh no! That's sad. (I had been wondering what the big HSQ was but didn't want to actively seek it out.)

umm....sorry? (was I supposed to whitefont?)

No, it's aired on the East Coast.

I'm pretty sure that Bonnie is dead. If she weren't dead, wouldn't she have been on a stretcher with life support type stuff hooked up to her like Mimi?

P-C - she was KICKASS. . . so watch for sure.

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

If it's SF (and I don't think it is) you don't need to whitefont.

So, it really depends on whether it's an OT discussion in this thread.

eta: I'll go back and whitefont just in case others also think it's an OT discussion. Did we resolve this the other day?
