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.

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.
Almost Human:
Well, that certainly felt like a "We don't know if we're getting a second season, so here's some vague closure" episode. Not bad. Just a little more on the feel-good side of things than we normally get from the show. (Serial killer aside.) I mean, even Detective Paul got a chance to not be a completely useless or a jerk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My Tivo recorded Almost Human and then erased (really weird, it didn't even show up in the Recently Deleted folder) it so I'll have to find the finale online somewhere.

How many episodes does Teen Wolf have left? This past one felt like a penultimate ep. (Not complaining, it was very good.)

Extended 3 min trailer for Arrow, "Full Circle": [link]
That's pretty badass. FYI, it's got footage from tonight's ep as well as a couple of other upcoming eps featuring several recurring characters.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I can't remember: can we talk about promos in regular font, or do we use spoiler font for promo content? What if it didn't air on TV, just online, like this one?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I have no idea. I think TV-aired promos were fair game, but online promos, even an official one like this one? I can't remember having this particular issue before.
This one's fairly spoilery for several upcoming eps so probably not in black font.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I'll whitefont for people who didn't see/don't want to see the promo. (I'm utterly amused that 3 different people, none of whom know each other, shared this promo on my FB wall last night...within 5 minutes of each other.)
So, Sara is totally dead, right? I mean, after last week's episode, when she told Sin that she would "never leave" or "always be around" or whatever, that was the most anvillicious dialogue I've heard in a long time. And now in this promo, telling Ollie she isn't that hard to kill? Yeah, she has a HUGE target on her back, doesn't she.
Holy crap, I am ALL ABOUT Deathstroke. (I don't know that that needs whitefont, but hey.)
And finally, holy HOLY crap, I am so excited about Suicide Squad!!!! I was disappointed with how Sean Maher's role played out in his episode, so I'm glad to see him back. And I loves me some Deadshot.
I'm fairly meh about Huntress returning. Just not feeling it.

Mostly, I am boggling at how freakin' cinematic that looks. I remember hearing somewhere that Arrow pulls the highest rating among the CW shows, but still, it's CW -- their budget can't be that big. Whatever it is, every dollar is showing up on screen.
Re. Sara: yeah, I share the same worry. She's getting some major spotlight in this promo (not to mention the dialog), which does not bode well. I am preemptively annoyed because 1) I enjoy Sara a lot and 2) having *two* love interests of Oliver's fridged in the same season would be the height of lazy storytelling. I'm hoping they'd defy expectations and do something more interesting than that.
Everything to do with Slade, YES. I still want Oliver and Slade to have their confrontation and somehow end with Slade not dying (because I love him), then next season, they team up (reluctantly, like Diggle and Deadshot but on a more epic scale) to battle a common enemy. Um, The League of Assassins or whatnot. What, it could happen.
My main interest in having Huntress return is so that we would see a Huntress/Black Canary face-off. I did like her line about letting the darkness in at the end there.
Diggle's line made me snorfle. I am psyched for Suicide Squad but wish they'd found a way to include The Clock King, who was my favourite.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I am boggling at how freakin' cinematic that looks.
Especially since S.H.I.E.L.D. always looks so chintzy.
My main interest in having Huntress return is so that we would see a Huntress/Black Canary face-off.
While the title of the March 19 episode is Suicide Squad, the March 26 episode is called Birds of Prey.
