I clearly need to start watching Arrow.
Yes, you do.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just caught up last night. I don't know if this link will work, or if you already saw it on Facebook, but this message from Stephan Amell is cracking me up [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thank god he got the important stuff out of the way first.
After a stretch of inactivity I'm shirtless in almost every episode for the rest of the season.

That is a ridiculous piece of equipment. (And by "piece of equipment", yes I mean ABS.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The extended promo for next week seems to suggest Sara/Nyssa is canon. Have we ever had a canonically bisexual character on screen from DC Comics? [link]
Also, Jennifer Crusie, who is a big fan of Arrow, just put up a super squeeful fangirly post on her website about why she loves the show, which made for a fun read: [link]
This bit in particular made me laugh:
If I had to use one word to describe the showrunners and writers behind Arrow, it would be “fearless.” Also, possibly “drunk,” because these people will go anywhere.
For those who haven't watched it, the post does get spoilery until all aired episodes after a couple of introductary paragraphs.

Strangely enough, it reminds me of Spartacus in terms of pace. Like, you may not have any idea what's going to happen, but shit is going to happen.

It's ridiculous how much plot they burned through already this season. In this past ep, it impressed the hell out of me that they went, LOL SECRET IDENTITIES and said, here, let us drop a couple of huge-ass reveals on your lap 'cause what the hell. They don't have time to dither and angst because they have 534 different storylines to go through and three dozen new characters from their rogue villain gallery to introduce.
Crusie's article also made me change my mind from "WHAT in BLOODY HELL" to "OF COURSE THEY DID" re. having Moira running for mayor because OF COURSE THEY DID.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sara/Nyssa is canon.
Jesus, I love this show.
If I had to use one word to describe the showrunners and writers behind Arrow, it would be “fearless.” Also, possibly “drunk,” because these people will go anywhere.
And that is one of the reasons I love this show.
I love that Jenny Crusie is an Arrow fangirl. Of course she is.
LOVE this line:
Felicity, the IT girl who wouldn’t know angst if it bit her on the butt the costume department has been showcasing lately.
Also this:
I can’t be the only person who keeps hoping that he will someday shoot that boxing glove arrow from the comics.
No. No you are not.

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

Love! And have I mentioned recently that September is way too far away and someone really should give John Noble an Emmy?
