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

Besides, once Manny Coto got on board, Enterprise had some decent episodes. I think its inclusion on that list is just knee-jerk.

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

He isn't wrong about the theme song, though.

After Torchwood: CoE headlines like this make me nervous.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Did JJ Abrams get the memo?

Yes, that's why he is credited with reviving said franchise.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't know if I'm buying Allison being all "shoot first". I'm sure if I thought real long and hard about it, being pregnant and being solely responsible for GD might make a person more cautious about taking risks with the towns and the planets safety, but it still feels off.

I don't see any real reason she wouldn't be, and I guess someone had to be.

I guess Subaru is taking the place of Degree this season.

Yeah, it just feels weird it being Allison. I suppose also, she isn't a scientist, so the geeky excitement over the unknown isn't necessarily her purview. I can see that it's her job to be this way, it just feels odd.

I was charmed a bit by Tess this ep.

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

Loved the ending. To bad the preview gave the game away on the what and why. Way to go Syphy.

Also, they continue to not make me want Zane's death upon every instance of him being in an episode. What the fuck is up with that? Is it just my resistance (which is futile) being worn down.

Still REALLY miss Ed Quinn though, even though I get to see him on True Blood as a badass now.

"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've seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This will not end well.

Is there a good reason an object capable of amazing acceleration couldn't just rotate 180° and decellerate itself rather than spending days remote control zombifying people to build it an electronic parachute?
