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?

I understand Riverdale is coming back for a final season tonight.

Again?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Like someone described Hawaiian singers, they're always saying good-bye and never leaving.

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

I stopped paying attention to Riverdale some time in season 3 and just assumed it went away at some point after that. I am kind of intrigued at the possible chaos they got up to while I wasn't looking, it never really had any rails to go off of as I recall

I mostly did as well, except every so often I'd see that it was on. Sometimes I checked it out, mostly I just went off to do other things. I did see that the characters have been put in 1955 (or thereabouts).

OK. They did the 80s for an episode or two as a flashback to the parents? Something like that. I do like how willing they are to have no narrative rules but the results were always really hit or miss for me and not enough hits to keep me tuning in I guess. Good for them going over 100 episodes, though! Part of me does want to check it out again because surely it will make no difference that I don't know what's going on

I watched. It was kind of weird and well, kind of depressing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

OK yeah Wolf Pack is fun. Way past my usual tolerance for gore but it's the werewolf show I never knew I always wanted.

For those who are interested in such things, Bernadette Banner has done a Youtube video about the historic costuming on Doctor Who.

There's a fun podcast, "Our Opinions are Correct", hosted by Charlie-Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz. The most recent ep is all about Star Trek, and includes an interview with Mike McMahon, showrunner for Star Trek: Lower Decks. I recommend!

And as a result, I am rewatching S3 of ST:LD. It's so great.
