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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We already know she's fantasized (or, well, dreamt) about him! Please kick Poochie to the curb. Seriously!!!

I remember. I was hoping it was a clone, so that it really would have been Jo kissing Fargo.

Damn. Not the outcome I really wanted, but I may CARE TOO MUCH.

And at least Fargo has something going on now. Hopefully no pining. Though it was still Jo's fantasies, not Fargo's, so there may be hope (I've come to accept that Jo and Henry just ain't on anybody's radar wrt to the show runners).

Art Crawl!!!

Jo and Henry? Had not thought of that.

How was that Jo's fantasy? Wasn't it test girl's fantasy?

The Plan - is being released on dvd. . . first? Or possibly instead of being broadcast?

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

It was test girl, not Jo. Jo loves Poochie.

For the record, that was Colin's directorial debut.

Oh, cool! Congrats to Colin.

I am glad Fargo has a (requited) love interest now, poor noodle. Even though she's kinda nutty.

I loved, loved, loved the scene - or, particularly Zoe in the scene - when Fargo came to SARAH in the morning. Lord, she was funnier than I've ever seen her. Hmmm... must have been working with a director who knew how to showcase her comedic talents or something...

Ha! And here I was thinking that was one of the better episodes of Eureka that I'd seen! Good on Colin!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, I was annoyed that Carter was basically not in the second episode of the season, but that's a fair reason!

An episode last season (I think - possibly an earlier season) Jo had romantic dreams about Fargo. Originally, the dreams looked like they were Fargo's (as everybody was experiencing them) but they turned out to be Jo's. I was hoping this was going to be a follow-up to that (and get Poochie the fuck outta there), but at least Fargo got something out of it this episode.

Oh, and good on Colin. I was kinda wondering why he was so out of the loop the whole episode.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

For the record, that was Colin's directorial debut.

Good job, Colin.

When the pack of cards appeared in the room with Carter, I said, "Oooh, Fifty-two Pick Up."

Now, who wrote the science-y bits, cuz seriously? It was pretty rough. Not really enough to take me out of the moment on the first viewing (I saw it at work tonight, felt like I was cheating on Daniel, and then watched it again with him when I got home) but it was pretty glaring on the second time around.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Got round to watching Virtuality last night.

Damn you, Fox TV, for you are truly of the evil.
