Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Felicity is the BEST. I also loved her crying at Moira's wake *and* trash-talking the hell out of her at the same time. And having total geekgasms over ARGUS's tech!

So, it never occurred to me that Slade's "one more" that had to die referred to Oliver -- I just took it for granted it would be someone Oliver loved, not Oliver himself. I guess for obvious meta reasons since Oliver can't die? But also I feel like in-show, Slade had someone else in mind. I automatically assumed he meant Sara, but maybe not?

I think he has someone else in mind, too. And I suspect that it's going to be Sara or Laurel (or, at an extreme outside possibility, Felicity), because I think he wants to kill someone Ollie loves romantically, because that's "equal" in his mind to Shado dying.

Me, too. I kept telling Oliver he was being a little dense thinking it's him all episode. And I was thinking Sara also, both to parallel his losing Shado and because she was the one Oliver chose to live.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It has to be Sara. I never thought it would be Oliver.

However, Slade did say he was going to run an arrow through Oliver's eye, so maybe Oliver thinks that means that's how he will die.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ack, how was that the end of the episode! Bastards, with their time limits and schedule.

Totally.

I don't get how there are still 2 more episodes left. Because now that Team Deathstroke is unleashed, it seems like the next episode is where it all gets resolved and wrapped up.

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

Gotta take out Brother Blood before you get to Deathstroke.

And was that Merlyn in the preview?

Has to be. Merlyn's name was invoked 2 eps ago, so that means he needs to show up again by season's end.
