Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Host ,'Not Fade Away'


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

I started laughing at the "I am blind!" reveal because OF COURSE.

INORITE! I mean, how long have you been stalking this chick and you don't notice she's blind?

I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight.

I am irrationally annoyed that it only comes on once. I forgot about it until now. I may not bother to get into it since it's up against Person of Interest and Justified (although I can watch Justified later), but I find that when I have these multiple time show, I get behind very quickly.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I watched Mindgames (while recording Person of Interest and Chicago Fire - I sincerely hope somthing gets adjusted out of there soon). I enjoyed it more than I expected to - Steve Zahn's very manic, but as the character's literally bipolar it's less annoying than it might have been. And after making you think you know pretty much what's going on for almost the whole episode, threw in a bit of twistiness in the last 5 minutes. I'll keep watching.

eta Christian Slater has managed to tone his Nicholson back to almost not there, so also that's another worry addressed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ET,

I despised the last 5 minutes. Like a whole lot. I am not sure why i have such a negative reaction to it, but it makes me not want to see any more eps of the show. I was moderately enjoying it up until then. But the end took all of the wind out of my sails.

It was definitely not expected. I'm interested to see where they're going with it - I hope not making Slater's character into the selfish, manipulative asshole that the scene would seem to imply.

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

Arrow! AHAHAHA OMFG that last scene. This ridiculous show just has no brakes, hasn't it?

Felicity! Oh, Muffin. I'm glad that her angst was not over romantic jealousy but because she was doubting her professional worth. Diggle = THE BEST EVER. I enjoyed seeing everyone out in the field.

WELP. Shit just got real.

Also, I think I totally ship Felicity and Sara now.

Yeah, I love the way they dealt with the potential tension between Sara and Felicity. More of Sara training Felicity, s'il vous plait!

And the show suddenly remembered that Sara and Sin used to have a relationship! Um.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

This ridiculous show just has no brakes, hasn't it?

I was thinking the same thing!

I hope Felicity and Sara continue to bond. I liked Sara giving her useful pointers about punching.

Also, I'm assuming Tumblr collapsed under the weight of Ollie telling Felicity she'll always be his girl. (I am a Tumbler naif -- even though I apparently signed up for one -- and wouldn't even know where to look for Arrow stuff, although I assume it wouldn't be difficult. I think I'll just eagerly await Jenny Crusie's post tomorrow.)
