'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


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.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

Not to be overly persnickety or unreasonable, but back when the Supernatural discussion still happened in this thread people used to put in a jump cut from the beginning of an episode discussion until the end, so those who didn't watch the show could skip past all the posts. Lately this thread has been overwhelmed with Dr. Who/Torchwood posts, which I agree is wonderful for those who enjoy those shows. However, for those of us who don't watch them, it means we have to do a LOT of scrolling to get to the occasional Eureka or whatever post. When an episode airs and you know there'll be a lot of discussion, would it be possible to put in a jump cut?

Or not, in which case I'll crawl quietly away to the corner and continue to scroll. and scroll. and scroll.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I imagine that after tonight the Torchwood posts will start to die away. (With additional Doctor Who posts on Sunday - but then dying away again.)

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

The next (and last) Torchwood episode airs at the same time as the next Eureka episode, so it wouldn't work.

I just watched a new (to me) preview for Stargate: Universe.

So.... it's Stargate: Galactica, huh?

Compassionately intolerant

That's my sense of it Ailleann.

I'm glad to see Robert Carlyle working, and Lou DP but it does look wildly derivative.

Yeah made that Torchwood post before I saw episode 4. They are not dead. They are in hell. I assumed dead until I read the spoilers. Don't know why "worse" did not occur to me. I do have one question from the earlier COE eps. How plausible is it that Jack was Ianto's first male lover? I got the impression that he was bisexual before he met Jack but I can't think of any strong canonical evidence.

We're only shown him with Lisa beforehand. Nothing to contradict his word.

Well, not unless we count the previous RTD series where he appeared as a character with the same name...

Regardless of prior experience, I'm pretty strongly of the opinion that once you've actually fallen in love with someone of the same gender the Good Ship Heterosexuality has sailed and you've missed your boarding call.

That doesn't contradict anything Ianto or TB says.
