I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

Trust my rage

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?

But we didn't whitefont on the night it aired.

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

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

No, I figured someone would mention it specifically eventually. I only care about Jericho peripherally. I feel a little more attachment to it having been to the WonderCon panels, and I've seen a handful of episodes, but I haven't bothered to get back into it.

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?

Oh, aha, when I saw the comment about "killing Mimi too," I thought the person who died was whatshisname, her dude.

This makes Carol Barbee's comments at WonderCon more interesting. Someone asked if Bonnie was going to be written off the show (because in the episode they showed, she was going to be going to Cheyenne), but she was all, "No, there's some great stuff in store for her, she's totally not leaving the show!"

I seem to remember whitefont, but that was probably in Natter.

eta: Well, it looks like she was a great bluffer because Bonnie looked pretty dead.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Does it qualify for SF if it is a parallel universe? They could see the mountains west of Denver from the rooftops around the western Kansas town of Jericho in the pilot.

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.

I wonder if this is the show being nice after the fact. GM was already out of power as Mayor and was just a town elder at the time of his death. He could have been written as part of Jake's company. I would appreciate it if I was McRaney. Better than Pamela Reed just disappearing.

Well, the cast has shrunk for reasons of $$.

I get this. I think trying to get more people watching was also a factor. That's why a different show came back than the one that was cancelled. I wasn't a fan of Emily either but most of the bad of that has stayed while losing the good. Ignore me, I'm just bitter about Bonnie.

ION, of things that do make me happy, there is a new SGA tonight. I'm hoping for softie Ronon.

I got the strong impression that that McRaney's character was killed off because he didn't want to do a second season.

Kristin of Watch With is feeling optimistic about a second season for SCC.

Does tonight's SGA seem overly expositiony to you guys?
