Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pretending to be a wastrel by day while saving people by night?

IIRC, that was the original comic's approach: millionaire playboy Oliver Queen.

It was; they made him basically a copy of Bruce Wayne. Green Arrow had a teen sidekick, even an Arrowcave.

On next week's preview: Fuck yeah, Deadshot!

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

Bruce Wayne, Green Hornet, lots of people I can't think of right now. I don't know if Scarlet Pimpernel is the Platonic version, or the template, but he's certainly got lots of company.

the Platonic version

Plato probably fought crime by night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I didn't know Blackthorne was in it. Now I'll def. watch. I embarrassed Paul Blackthorne (mildly) once, I owe him.

We know he had a cave.

Paul Blackthorne was pretty much the reason that I decided to watch Arrow in the first place. I miss The Dresden Files.

I didn't know, but boy was I happy when I saw him.

Do tell.

I think I just need the chibi Teen Wolf thing to happen, so I can OD and come out the other side: [link]

Bring it on. This other way of doing it is not working for me.

(The real Green Arrow was on Emily Owens MD last night, it appears...now he's a bit more brunet)

Threefer: That guy on trial is Benny from S8 of Supernatural and now I'm going to have even worse feelings about the cockblocker.

On trial on "Arrow?" He was also the Angry Out of Control Father on "Flash Point" last night. Dude gets around.
