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

Arrow: Man, this show has HELLA parent issues.

I'm ridiculously happy that Tommy knows Ollie is the vigilante. I have no problem with the angst that has generates.

Dang, John Barrowman is pretty.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I really like Arrow, but the blood transfusion thing was so wrong that it knocked me out of even comic-book-level suspension of disbelief. There is a way to keep a curare victim alive, but it's artificial respiration.

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

Steph, is your profile address good?

I hate when they show martial arts lessons for newbies. So I'm glad, at least so far, that they cut to after the action. But there's no way she's going to learn anything effective that doesn't involve a weapon for months.

Caught up on Arrow. So when it comes to who is at the center of the web that Oliver is fight, it turns out to be Malcolm in the Middle?

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

Is anyone watching Clone Wars? More to the point, will there be more or was this the end?

'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"

It doesn't matter what show Mark Pellegrino shows up in, he'll always be Satan to me. (Annoyed the heck out of my roommate when he was on The Closer as Brenda's attorney, what with me shouting, "Watch out Brenda -- he's SATAN!" whenever he came on.)

There's a cute gifset that made the rounds of Batmanuel (see how hopeless we are?) asking Mark Pellegrino's Lost character if he was the devil, and he denies it. More recently (as of midway through last season) it had the reply added to it of Mr Fizzles saying "Mr. Fizzles can sense when you're being a...liar." which makes it one of the most perfect things in the self-referential universe.
