You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

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.

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

Inbetween shooting walkers, what do they have to do? Why do they seem to talk so little? Near zero communication.

I was also a little creeped out by how front and centre the rug rat was in that shootout to defend their home. I understand this is a post-apocalyptic scenario, and the rules are different, also he killed his mother, but still. He's a lot better than he used to be (losing his mother is a good look on him), but I still feel weird with him in a trauma-toughened child soldier scenario.

I should not laugh about poor Carol, but when she was fluttering her eyelashes at Dice Neck, and he took a bullet to the noggin right afterwards--it's like the Sam Winchester peen of death, and she's not even getting laid.

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

Respect the Kenzi brand!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I really like this episode. I still don't see how Trick missed the flashing signs above faux Kenzi's head two episodes ago saying "I don't remember our deal where I get unlimited free drinks", but I liked this episode. And I'm starting to enjoy Tamsin.

Not thrilled about "The Dawning". But that is a problem for a future episode.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Arrow: ahahahaha, Roy Harper in a red hoodie! I don't know who that actor is, but he is smoking.

Steph, promise me you'll never break up with Arrow? I've come to realise you're a key part of my pre-SPN routine.

Oh, damn, he's Roy? I think he'll probably be a fun Roy. The actor seems to be an asshole, but that doesn't stop me from objectifying him as the script suggests.

I love the hell out of it. It's not awesome TV, but I don't care.

"Those years, they must have changed you..."
Ollie visualises being shot through with an arrow.

That is SPN-level date-impairing trauma¹! It's so good to be able to laugh freely at something like that.

¹: Today they were distracted by 100-odd years in Hell and 30 years in Hell+death of mother.
