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.

“Not dead yet!”

Having spent a lot of time both at various other cons and in comic shops, I can assure you that you'll be in the minority.

Does it compete with Day 5 of a Gaming Con?

I've probably got Comic Con in my future-- Abby's a budding comics artist and loves manga and anime and cartoons, so to her, Comic Con sounds like Mecca.

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

I love Comic-Con and am irritated that it always seems to fall on a weekend I've planned to be in Canada.

I'm not sure that the locker room of the losing team of a Super Bowl could compete.

I dunno... Day 5 of a gaming con gets pretty ripe what with the boys who didn't bother booking a hotel room since their plans are to play nonstop, fueled by beef jerky, cheetos, and Mountain Dew Code Red until they feel the need to collapse, at which time they will cop 2 hours on the convention lobby floor or be carried out by the EMTs. Ah GenCon, how I don't miss you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Barb, DragonCon is a lot closer to you guys and has a ton of comics content.

Yeah, I know, but we're talking Abby here- she's bound and determined to get to Comic Con. AND visit California. *g* Although I might be able to talk her into the Comic Con in NY

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

</Comic-Con attendee>

Will you be there? I was just thinking how I wanted to meet you this morning!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I will be there, but my schedule will be very up in the air as I'm not sure how much conning I can handle with a bun in the oven. DW is a real taskmaster at Comic-Con. She types up a schedule with all of the stuff she wants to do and color codes it and shit (she's like Willow on this front). It's cute, but I don't think I'll be keeping up this year.

Well, we should meet up and geek out about Powers somehow.

(I have, um, been compiling a schedule myself with asterisks and percent signs to denote interest from the other people I'm going with.)

What Would've Happened on PUSHING DAISIES If It Hadn’t Been Canceled?

Oh, Bryan Fuller:

The sexual aspect was never too big of a hurdle, because if I was in that situation, I'd throw on a plastic suit and start rubbing. There were ways around that. That seemed like the lowest hurdle of the relationship. It definitely created bigger ones down the line, but they kind of figured that one out. I figured if they didn’t figure that one out pretty quickly, it would be hard to really buy their situation as realistic.

I mean, really, he puts on a condom and you go to town.
