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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I refuse to believe that the trusted assistant with that level of access would just fucking GIVE her password to a new employee on a fucking post it note. I have an incredibly unimportant job and I wouldn't give my password to an assistant to send out emails.

Yeah, but that was after the big aliens-speak-through-children WTF moment, when literally the whole planet was flipping their shit and the Home Office (is that what it's called?) was being inundated with calls. So she can be forgiven for delegating.

Plus, it advanced the plot.

(Oh, right. Torchwood. Never seen it, heard a lot about it, decided after reading stuff on LJ to...obtain COE Day 1. Pretty good, say I.)

yeah, basically their State Department. There's delegating, and there's delegating. of course, maybe Lois was to be given that level of access and they just hadn't set her up yet since it was her first day. waves hand

and we are such fucking prudes! They felt the need to blur John Barrowman's ass. @@ (but how much did we love the fact that he didn't put on the jacket, he just strolled to the car with it over his shoulder.

We loved it a lot.

And we will be buying the DVDs because we are just that shallow.

Was that Day 1? Because I don't remember that.

That was tonight, after he got out of the big block of concrete. That he had chemistry with, of course.

Compassionately intolerant

I just watched the 100th episode of SG-1. Extreme Wormhole. Har.

In-jokes may be self-conscious, conceited and such, but I love 'em.

I'm totally spoiled for the whole mini-series, and the whole Jack-reanimating-painfully-from-charred-bits, followed by the block of concrete thing seems like it's got to be massively disturbing to the psyche. (Of the viewer, I mean, though probably also for Jack.)

Yes? No? Because I want to watch it, but I also don't.

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

If you're spoiled, I'd watch it, Steph.

My sister just got up through episode 4. Heh.

I thought I might rewatch on BBC America, but I'm just tuning in for the post show breakdowns. They are different from what aired in the Declassified.
