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 just realized that Daisy from Spaced is Joan Redfern from Doctor Who's "Human Nature" & "Family of Blood".

She was also nominated for a Tony this year--I was started to see her appear during the ceremony!

Isn't she lovely?

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

I'm just watching Primeval and they're trying to conjure up an air of jeopardy and all I can think is "so, what? You're going to kill Ianto or something?" They so do not possess the plotting chops nor the character investment.

"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 just watched the DVD of that 2002 Time Tunnel revamp pilot. Pretty entertaining, though it disproves Mal Reynold's "too pretty to die" theory, because Kavan Smith has never looked hotter than he did in that show. In fact, it's very possible that no one has ever looked hotter than he did in 2002 ...

Anyone else watching Being Human? It's actually better than I expected.

I ahemed Being Human when it aired in the UK. I rather liked it, although mostly for the characters rather than the plot. George and Annie, in particular, are very endearing.

I think it will be available tomorrow. This having a channel only on on-demand is weird, though not without advantages.

'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"

Wow, Primeval sure ended on a sucky cliffhanger, which, if I cared all that much about the characters, would really be frustrating.

Being Human was less funny than I'd hoped it would be, but fascinating all the same. Of course, I missed the first ten minutes because my roommate didn't check to see that the TiVo was on the right channel, so I'm missing the intro that one hopes explained the setup, like HOW they decided to share a flat....
