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.

ION, we watched the finale of S1 of Orphan Black tonight. I'd forgotten all the shit that goes down in that show, in only ten episodes. It's insane.

Cannot wait for Season 1! Bring on the Proclone! I want more clones!

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.

Arrow: hope Felicity does not get hooked on "aspirin". Cause that would be a very uninteresting plot twist.

Yeah, no. They already went to that well once. Badly.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah, Ollie at the dinner felt really contrived. None of the Arrow Gang had an inkling that this might be a really bad idea, particularly Ollie himself?

I did like the portrayal of the Clock King. Goofy exploding Star Trek computers aside.

I don't see what Ollie gains by telling Quentin. As he said recently, too many people know his secret already. Of course, if Ollie keeps showing up around him with Sara both in and out of costume, he's going to figure it out.

I'm curious why a beat cop would get called in off hours for a homicide. (And then left alone with the body so his vigilante friends can muck up the crime scene.) It's like the writers forget he's not a detective any more.

Quentin is like the ONLY cop in the Starling City. I mostly laugh, because on the scale of various unbelievable things happening on this show, that's relatively small stuff.

Three half naked people hitting each other with sticks.

Remember even Felicity lost her shirt at the end! Nakedness all over the place! I'm sure if they had time to put Roy in the mix, he'd have been shirtless too.

Well, that's convenient for cross-overs.

It's not about what Ollie gains, and I don't need Ollie to *tell* Quentin; I just think it's beyond credulity (yes, I know this is a comic-book show and therefore stretches/ignores credulity all the time) that Quentin has been in such close physical proximity to the Arrow so many times and hasn't figured it out. The hood doesn't cover THAT much of Ollie's face. And Quentin is a detective. I mean, seriously. And he knows the identity of the Arrow's tech genius, who just happens to ALSO be Oliver Queen's assistant. Is that maybe a tiny bit suspicious?

I'm sure if they had time to put Roy in the mix, he'd have been shirtless too.

Slade could have been shirtless at Stately Queen Manor. I would have been fine with that.

I agree, Quentin needs to figure it out soon. Or if Ollie does end up telling him, his reaction being "Right. Tell me something I don't know." I just don't see why Ollie would feel inclined to tell him at this point.

Another thing I liked was that Ollie and Digg had their backs turned while Felicity had her shirt off. It just felt right for the characters and their relationship. It will be interesting to see if as the show progresses the three of them reach a more practical warrior/medic mentality about those things. (Though that would likely mean poor Felicity getting more scars.)
