Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.
Mal ,'Safe'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
After Slade dropped by and told her who the Arrow was, I imagined the superhero that really should have had the name Spoiler. Someone who just goes up to people and tells them secrets, up to and including who killed who on the last episode of whatever.
Ahahaha! "Oliver Queen is...THE ARROW! Rosebud was...HIS SLED! Darth Vader is Luke's FATHER! Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"

The only way I could buy Laurel as Black Canary would be if next season begins with, "After five years on a hellish island, Laurel Lance...."
I think part of the problem with the pacing of this episode was the "Ollie got a girl pregnant" flashbacks. The flashbacks usually relate to the current action, but those were inert lumps in the middle of lots of action. They didn't really illustrate that a mother will do anything for her child. They showed Moira's usual parenting skills of throwing money at the problem, lying and not making her children take responsibility.
My wild guess is that the baby's mother is Iris West or her sister.

All is well that ends in pizza.
We could have a long revenge training montage with Laural and her mother...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Laurel Lance ... shouldn't she move to Metropolis and get together with Superman?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Clark's One True Love is LL -- just not that one.

From way back
Anyone watching Metal Hurlant Chronicles? Would you recommend it?
I haven't been watching it, but now that I know it's an anthology show I've decided to start. I think I can catch the already aired episodes On Demand (in my copious free time, but whatever, there's free space on my DVR).
