You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

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.

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

Extended Flash trailer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I find it hilarious that Oliver, at some point while Roy was lying in his pit-viper-venom-induced coma, found the time to get a custom red mask made for him. Just in case he needed it. And in case Roy lived.

No killing Daddy Lance!

I liked how Sara's "death" on the freighter was filmed as a mirror image of her "death" on the yacht. And I'm glad she's not dead.

And I'm super-glad Slade's not dead either. Also hilarious: Oliver being all "Goddamnit, I'm setting up a special prison on this island I hate."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Although, putting the prison on the island he hates is its own revenge - if HE hated it, and Slade wasn't any too fond of it, won't being stuck there (until the plot demands he return) be a good payback?

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

I am so psyched for Flash. I hope it lives up to the trailer.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I find it hilarious that Oliver, at some point while Roy was lying in his pit-viper-venom-induced coma, found the time to get a custom red mask made for him. Just in case he needed it. And in case Roy lived.

He had to buy an assortment at Masks-R-Us when he bought the green one, so he had it sitting around...

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Vampire Diaries just destroyed me.

Even in shows that have left behind their best stuff, it's still awful when they do that to characters you love! *sob*

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

at some point while Roy was lying in his pit-viper-venom-induced coma

I love that the show can give characters dialogue like "Maybe the pit viper venom hasn't worn off yet."

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

I haven't watched TVD inacouple of years, now I'm curious. What happened, Seska?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A pit-viper-induced coma that kept his hair from growing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Much death and awfulness. I was entirely being emotionally manipulated by the writers, but I didn't CARE. *more sobbing*
