'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
They spent a lot of time on Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, citing DNA evidence and everything. To informed people, that's old news, but there are a lot of uninformed people who might have been as shocked as Crane. Plus showing the complexity of life during the Revolution. Someone somewhere is wondering "Was it really like that?" and is firing up a search engine--or even looking at a book!
I'll grant them glossing over authentic birth practices.
Arrow: so, is Felicity's dress a Power Girl shout-out? It's making me giggle.
I am an old fogie 'cause my main reaction to her dress was "that shit is unprofessional! Put the cleavage away!"
Oh, totally unprofessional, but still making me giggle.
As is all the teasing at Barry Allen's origin story (mother's murder, taxi pulling away, lightning storm while he's handling chemicals).
I'm such a damn nerd.
Are they implying that Jay Garrick killed Barry Allen's father?
Huh. Moira said that guy's name! Ra'z something. Liam Neeson! (Don't look at me. I don't know anything about DC Comics).
I was weird seeing Oliver totally pwn'd in a fight. Poor stunt person! That looked like it hurt. Also, while I liked Barry, I was a bit cranky at how Felicity was all we need Barry for this and for that, when she was previously (totally unrealistically) capable of doing all sorts of chemical and biological analyses all by her own self.
Ra's al Ghul.
Are they implying that Jay Garrick killed Barry Allen's father?
I was totally wondering that, unless it was supposed to be...whatshisname Thawne. Reverse Flash. (Who was maybe Barry Allen's secret twin, taken away at birth? I'm a little dodgy on his origin story.)
John Barrowman? STILL THE PRETTIEST.
How much do I love them for that scene with the chemicals and the lightning? This much. I swear it's almost exactly the scene I remember from the comic.

YES! I was burbling about that to Tim when he came home (he missed most of it) (and doesn't actually know anything about the Flash other than "runs fast; the animated version is voiced by Lex Luthor").
