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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Holy crap, I didn't realize there was ten minutes left.

That is literally the same thing I said when it went to commercial.

This show will do anything. God DAMN.

But seriously, as soon as Moira said "I know" and "I couldn't be more proud," I looked at Tim and said "She is so dead." I just didn't think it would be this episode, or that way. (On FB, Barb has been saying that Slade would re-create the "choice" Ivo gave Ollie, but she was predicting it would be Sara and Laurel. I really, REALLY didn't expect this.)

I feel like the episode was structured oddly, though; it seemed strange to not have Slade in the episode at all until the last 10 minutes. OTOH, keeping him out of it until them sure was a good way to bring the HSQ.

And Slade is such a fucking drama queen. No, can't just use a gun; he has to bust out his huge-ass sword (out of nowhere [I know he had on a big overcoat, but it *seemed* like it came out of nowhere]) and get all stabby.

This really is turning into the "Becoming Pt. 2" scenario of "take all that away, and what's left?" (I suppose that is what Slade said he was going to do, so it's hardly a revelation.) Ollie's lost the company, his mom, his ill-considered relationship -- I'm a little afraid of what's next.

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

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not Moira. I love Moira. She's been one of my favourites from the very beginning.

Seriously, I'm traumatized. DAMMIT SHOW.

I can't believe Moira died and with so many secrets still to tell. How old would Oliver's kid be now, and will he/she be part of The Flash spin-off? I hope Merlyn comes back this season. I'm really worried that Sara is next.

Oliver has a kid! I totally forgot about that. I thought Amell was fantastic as young!Oliver during that final flashback when he said he was not ready to be a dad.

Seriously, that was an amazing hour of TV, but I am totally wrung out.

Sara went to get Nyssa, y/y? What other old friend could she be talking about?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dude. DUDE.

That was fucked up.

So sad.

How old would Oliver's kid be now

The flashback had "7 years ago" slapped on it, I think

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, 7 years ago.

I wonder if Malcolm will be pissed at Slade.

That's what I was assuming. Or possibly Anatoli?

My unspoiled assumption about the finale is that Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad will show up to help Ollie, along with Nyssa and the League of Assassins, and Malcolm and whatever forces he can command.

I totally forgot that in the comics, Ollie has a biological kid. This could be interesting or really annoying.

Also, can someone just write a personal check for 1 million dollars? That just seems way too large to write a check for. I don't know why that bothers me.

I'm really worried that Sara is next.

Me, too.

I missed that, thanks! I blame allergies.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm really worried that Sara is next.

Well, Slade more or less announced that Sara is next...

IGN just reminded me that Oliver said "no one dies tonight," earlier in the episode.

Geez, twist that knife a little harder, why don't you.
