I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

I legit yelled "Holy Shit!" when that overhead shot of the infuser circled around to reveal Roy. This show is slickly shot as a rule, but the camera work in this ep was particularly sharp, I thought.

Actually I went ACCK! and EEEE! and did a lot of flailing in general. Oliver's face when he realized he and his father both slept with Isabel! Thea's horror at realizing she almost kissed her brother! (Oh, these whacky Queen siblings and their accidental foray into familial skeeviness!) Isabel dying! Isabel getting Mirakuru'd! Laurel figuring out Sara is Black Canary! And surprisingly acting with understanding and forgiveness instead of rage!

"I'm a bomber. I wonder if I could put that on my resume under Special Skills." "By the way, I hated her well before I knew she was a supervillain." And the line about Barry being in the coma *and* moving on! Oh, Felicity. You will always be my favourite.

Fun ep!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oliver's face when he realized he and his father both slept with Isabel!

Ha! I said "Awwwwwwkward!"

Isabel getting Mirakuru'd!

I look forward to even more badass River Tam moves now.

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, with the way the scene was shot, I knew it couldn't be Slade on the blood transfusion techno-cross of doom, but somehow didn't realize that Roy was the obvious replacement.

Ollie's face when he found out that Isabel slept with his father was perfect.

The "Mirakuru has a cure" bit seemed a bit out of left field. Okay, so Ollie decided it was better to try to train the Mirakuru craziness out of Roy than to find a way to develop a cure he knew was possible? "I was ashamed" doesn't really fly, but the rest of the episode made up for it.

I also like that Laurell is handling the whole Ollie/Arrow and Sara/Canary thing in a mature and supportive fashion. That bombshell didn't appear to have the effect Slade was hoping for.

I did not see the Roy reveal coming at all.

Me either. This show is cracktastic!

This could be the best show ever or the absolute worst: [link]

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've finally been able to get around to Orphan Black. Just watched the first two episodes and OMG this show is already a monster of HSQ! It has the feel of mid-period Fringe (before they went REALLY went off the deep end, which I loved, but this is still grounded in one universe). I'm in awe of Tatiana - where did they find her?

Bonus: The opening theme is hilariously jaunty yet creepy.
