WELP. Shit just got real.
Also, I think I totally ship Felicity and Sara now.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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.

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

Not quite. Some shippers, who have been stewing in bitterness for 3 weeks over Oliver/Sara, are all indignant and stuff, thinking that comment came over as patronizing and that Oliver petted her like a little girl. Whereas I am all "Felicity was high as a kite on oxy and adorable as fuck. Your comment is invalid."
I ship Oliver/Felicity pretty hard, but I'ma stay the hell away from the Arrow shipperdom because a lot of those folks are scaaaaaary.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Is there a fandom that =doesn't= have some scary shippers?
(Not sure how rhetorical that question is...)

True dat. It's been a while since I've really been invested in a pairing so I'd forgotten what it was like. Answer: NOT GREAT.
Anyway, the opinion on this ep appears pretty divided. I dunno. Maybe I have rose-coloured glasses on but I thought it was pretty great and that the characterization bits were nicely on point.

Yeah, Jenny Crusie is really negative on it. I thought it was pretty good, although I would have liked more of the Clock King and less of the most awkward family dinner EVER.

Yeah, I read the first line of JC's post and hightailed it outta there as I did not want my mellow harshed.
The Clock King was fabulous. He's not a member of the Suicide Squad in comics, correct? I would love to aee him again. Oliver's no kill policy is enabling some fun recurring villains, which I dig.

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

And tested better than the alternative name of "Catch and release policy".
