Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Spyfall Part 2 was a big improvement over Part 1. Bring on the mytharc!

(The resolution of the actual A-plot was, I guess, fine. But I'll always forgive an unsatisfying one-shot if it comes with a dollop of long-term mythos. See also: cut my fannish teeth on X-Files.)

Semi-serious question - do Time Lords canonically have some way of sensing where they are in relation to each others' timeline? Because a question like "when did you last go home" seems like it would be REALLY hard to answer without a much longer conversation establishing when "when" is in the first place.

Our wings are not tired.

Hence my deep and abiding love for the wibbly wobbly timey whiney! Have not seen Part 2 yet, but I am looking forward to a nice Doctor Who escape later today.

"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

Jessica, I recall that Gallifrey used to have something in effect (the Transduction Barrier?) that prevented Time Lords from visiting it prior to their last visit, which generally kept their interactions with each other linear, if not with even passage of years. Of course, with the Doctor and the Master zig-zagging through time frequently they probably cross each other's timelines a lot.

CW has already renewed almost its entire slate, including Roswell, which hasn't aired its S2 yet.

Meanwhile, if you would like to know more about Roswell? Ask me about Roswell.

I never got into Roswell but I'm glad to see some of the continuing shows. But I'm a bit ... confused? ... about remakes of Walker: Texas Ranger and Kung Fu. Maybe because a broadcast channel (Charge!) is running about four hours of the original Walker series every evening.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I loved the new Roswell! It was my favorite of all the new things. I thing the brand new stuff in general is way better than any of the reunions. The only reunion I really enjoyed was Deadwood, but I don't know that it was as good as the original seasons.

And now, have watched the new eps of Who. Really irritated that I spoiled myself by looking up the adorable secret agent on IMDB halfway through the first ep.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I enjoyed these two eps a lot. Dewan was fabulous and the way they revealed the relationships between the various antagonists and that who was REALLY in charge kept changing. Looking forward to how what happened to Gallifrey will play out this season.
