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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'll put it down to sounding more significant than it was, I guess.

Eta: the portrayal of the training program makes me so angry, I get prickly about some of the details that I should probably not worry about.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Fringe starts again this Thursday, right?

Our wings are not tired.

Indeed it does! I am really looking forward to seeing my Fringe friends again. Random note, it is one of the better looking shows on the big HD screen. I miss Walter; he had better be all right.

All is well that ends in pizza.

t Insert obligatory post about how odd it is to go past 10,000 in threads.

Us too. Christ knows when they'll start screening season 2 in Australia, though. This is why I'll be ahemming the show, along with Supernatural, and Burn Notice.

'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"

Warehouse 13: At least Michael Hogan's character wasn't unconscious for most of the episode, as I feared as they started out. What a waste of a perfectly good actor!

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

What a waste of a perfectly good actor!

Par for the course for just about all their guest actors. I think Joe Flanigan even complained about it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fringe: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Fringe! I think I have to watch twice.

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

So, just watched Fringe for the first time. Really enjoyed it. Very X-Files, but a lot more snarky. Was this typical? Obviously, I'm behind on the show (and missing the total significance of what happened with Kirk A's character - I'm guessing this will be like what happened with Sydney's BFF on Alias).
