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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm good with Sleepy Hollow just making shit up. Mythical stuff, plot stuff, wardrobe stuff - it's all good.

I am so in love with the fistbump. I keep thinking about it - isn't that what every fistbump essentially means? I am really me, and you are really you, and we are actually here together. Love.

What -t said.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And his voicemail messages are priceless.

And Abbie's started doing it too! LOVE.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Arrow: DEATHSTROKE COSTUME HELL YEAH. I mean, I assumed that Slade would be becoming Deathstroke eventually, but seeing him in the outfit was FANTASTIC.

Also -- FINALLY ROY AND OLLIE WOO!!! Although it beggars belief that Roy is going to train with the hood guy and not figure out it's Ollie, but I'm still so excited about it that I give no fucks whatsoever.

I am wondering, though, why on earth would that many cops come to a break-in at the city archives? Come on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Damn, show.

What's your damn about? Good, bad, befuddled? (I have Strong Opinions about Laurel's addiction storyline, but I'm trying to not get my rant on.)

Good. As in DAAYUM.

Heh. I startled the dog by actually yelling "WOO HOO!" at the end.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Arrow: I keep missing episodes so I'm kind of lost. Maybe I'll catch them on reruns and it'll start making more sense.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I very much enjoyed the scenes with the Team Arrow Jr. Adding Sin was a smart idea -- that actress brings some nice fresh energy to Thea/Roy pairing, which never used to interest me much. I loved how Thea brightened at the notion of giving Sin a make-over. "Or a girl. Whatever you're into." Heh.

They actually had me sorta interested in the Laurel storyline, which has not happened in a very long time, so kudos all around. OK, the drug addiction arc is still pants, but getting Laurel involved in the Big Story? Should have done that ages ago.

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

I love Sin. And I really love Deathstroke. I have very limited exposure to Deathstroke in terms of comics, and I am pretty sure that it's totally wrong that I love him based on that limited exposure, but there it is. And the more I see Roy the more I love him. So I'm super happy with this episode.
