I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

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

Shoot, I almost remember that but not enough.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The more I think about it the sadder it gets. Poor clueless Donnie. There was a look on his face after the whole Sarah reveal and Felix's "Nobody fakes being that clueless" where I thought Donnie still might be in on everything, but I think that was just him resolving to confront Leaky.

You'd think the glue gun would have been enough to signal something a little more than a science study, but noooooo.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm rooting for Alison and Donnie to work things out and make a go of it, somehow, now.

Me too!

Who is Marian even supposed to be? We haven't heard of her before now, right?

I didn't think so, but I don't trust my memory for detail...

Because books.

I think she was new as of last night's episode. I don't remember hearing her name before then.

It follows this season's trend of "replace a villain with a more villainous villain."

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

I don't like Donnie still. There was an ep in first season when he was talking to someone on the phone and said some terrible things about Allison. I won't forgive him for that.

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

Yes, I think of Allison as a friend I need to protect. Why do you ask?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I wonder if Vic the Dick will use having had his sobriety compromised as an excuse to get his rage on and go full metal asshole.(Not that snitching on Allison is not there already.)
