It's not good.
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.
Typo,
I refer to it as "Pete's hairpiece"
Pete's hair is... not of the good. He is one 70's mustache away from looking too much like Burt Reynalds for my comfort.
Almost Human has been canceled.
Less than 4 hours until Arrow. After last week, I don't even know what to expect, but I think I'm going to need an adult beverage while I watch.
Okay, that mostly felt like a big old placeholder, just waiting for the finale.
Although seeing Isabel in the Ravager outfit made me really happy.
Ehh. Too much Laurel. I mean, she's grown on me a bit and when she initially showed up at the Arrow Cave, I gave her a little cheer. But then she said stuff like "I know who you are deep in my bones" (or your bones, whatever, I guess they'd know, having boned a lot) and it just made me scoff. They keep saying how Laurel and Oliver know each other so well, etc., without really *showing* any of that on screen. Their scenes generally felt limp.
Some good Team Arrow stuff though. I loved getting a bit more of Felicity's backstory (Vegas cocktail waitress! Huh) and loved Digg and Felicity refusing to give up on Oliver despite his defeatist attitude. But yeah, this one felt like treading water a bit.
Too much Laurel.
Yup. I have no use for her.
I am finally caught up to Arrow. My brief reactions:
I like S1 better than S2, but the last few eps of S2 have had great energy. I feel like S2 pacing was a bit slow the first half of the season or so. And they seem to be re-writing history some.
I am pretty disturbed with the actress who plays Laurel and what was done to her character in S2. She doesn't look right - and I suppose that goes with her storyline of alcoholism, but she has looked like a red hot wreck all season. I was rooting for her last season, now I kind of want her to die.
