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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yeah, that reaction is a little over the top. OTOH, if you had stood by your mother after she almost destroyed the city, and your best friend got killed in the process, and she said that she had a lot of secrets and you allegedly knew them all, you'd be a little pissed that she kept lying.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

you'd be a little pissed that she kept lying.

I'd be pissed, no question. But Ollie went just a teensy bit OTT. Drama queen.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd be pissed, no question. But Ollie went just a teensy bit OTT. Drama queen.

Henceforth he shall be known as Olivier Queen.

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

I am just happy they decided not to kill Nyssa. 'Cause she was awesome.

Yay for Felicity having scenes with people who are not Team Arrow or Lance! I loved her not being able to let her discovery go, 'cause you know, she hates mysteries. They need to be solved. But yeah, Oliver's reaction to Moira's reveal was ridic OTT. I mean, on the list of stuff Moira did and held secret, this seemed on the less egregious side.

MOIRA QUEEN, YOU HBIC, I LOVE YOU. God knows I love Felicity but it gave me a total thrill when Moira showed her claws to her.

AHAHAHA at Laurel's "you stole my life!" That was rather meta. And seriously, they are making zero attempts to make her sympathetic, which lends credence to the theory that she may be turning dark.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

In case anyone was uncertain about the relationship between the Spencers, John Rogers just said this on Twitter:

"And as far as I'm concerned, it's canon that #leverage Eliot and #Psych Shawn are cousins."

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

WTF? My whole world is a lie.

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

But do they have demon-resistant soles?

I can see Oliver being pissed at his mom, but his position of "I will help you maintain this lie because it's best for everyone but HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL IT TO ME" is just...come on, man. Also, I'll keep up appearances but you and I will know that we have no relationship anymore is ridic.

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.

Ollie is neither the brightest bulb, nor particularly emotionally stable.

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

I forget, are promos fair game for this thread, even if it's more extended than what has been aired on TV? 'Cause I just ran into this "Facebook exclusive" promo for Arrow, which is twice as long as the one aired on TV and appears to contain clips from both next episode and the one after that: [link]

Discussing that may be too spoilery for this thread but holy God, that looks awesome.
