But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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"

Yep. The title for the opening episode is "Welcome Back, Carter"!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I watched it. Kind of liked it (but then I liked both X-Files and Friday the 13th, the Series which it is the bastard child of.) It managed to mostly overcome my instinctive revulsion for the neurotic character Saul Rubinek plays in everything, which falls in the plus column.

It strikes me that just yanking people out of the blue like that is an extraordinarily bad way to go about recruiting new agents for a weird assignment.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

no kidding, when you know there have to be people who want a weird assignment - or just something different for a few years.

'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"

And also, extraordinarily bad judgment to send said unwilling people out on a mission with very little briefing or guidance, et cetera.

Not to mention that that Myka should have known way better than to move an accident victim before she had ascertained the extent of his injuries. Sheesh!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is the BBCA airing of Torchwood going on subsequent nights, subsequent weeks, or all in one night?

Art Crawl!!!

I hear that there is some sort of special airing before the first episode.

I hear that there is some sort of special airing before the first episode.

So far that's the only thing my DVR has been able to pick up.

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

God, I love Ianto. I'm in love with Captain Jack, but I love Ianto. In the third radio play he has a great speech. Doll. I need the right Ianto icon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Torchwood, Day Three:

The 456 are creepy. Thrashing frightens me.
