Haven is moving to Fridays at 7. And now I'm ducking out before seeing any Arrow spoilers.
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 have discovered that if I have my TV in the exact center of my living room space at an 30ยบ angle to my couch and with my laptop desk in a precise space between the TV and where I'm sitting then I can get the CW and watch shows live.
quester - that is awesome and makes me laugh.
Arrow - I don't even know. I feel like that is going to be all the Felicity relationship they give us. I knew nothing, NOTHING, about Sara. gut punch.

I read io9's morning spoilers every day, because I'm an unrepentant spoiler fiend, but they tend to not actually spoil HSQ moments like this (like when Slade killed Moira, io9 reported a couple of weeks before that the show was filming a funeral, but that was all -- they never said for who).
So for all my spoiler-mongering ways, I had NO IDEA this was going to happen. (And, I can't help myself, I did actually laugh at the fact that Sara's arrowed body landed right in front of Laurel. Oh, comic books.)

I'm actually on board with Felicity and Ray Palmer (that's not spoilery; it was just pretty clear last night that there was sparkage). Plus the Flash promo for the season as a whole showed Barry and Felicity kissing, which I'm ALSO 100% behind. So -- you go, Felicity.
When did Ollie get a bow that he can fold up and put in his pocket? (I'm willing to hand-wave all sorts of ridiculous stuff on this show, but Iron Man-esque magical folding bow bothered me for some reason.)
Also, I'm kind of amused that Felicity actually puts on her brightly-colored dresses she started wearing as Ollie's Admin to go to the Arrow Cave. (Last season I just assumed she didn't bother to change after work.)

Heh. We had a similar conversation about the Flash -- Tim said "There's no way there would still be cow manure on the tires after that long of a drive!" And I said "But you're okay with the rest of it? The lightning bolt-exploded particle accelerator super speed and super villains?"
We all have our different flavors of handwavium.
You know what character I REALLY missed in this episode?
The salmon ladder.
Arrow: It was a good episode, and yet I am not okay with nearly anything that happened in it, except for the cute baby being born. I just don't like Brandon Routh for some reason and this episode was no exception. And I am not not not okay with Sara being killed off that way. I was so relieved when she didn't die last season.
And was it clear what Sara was doing back in town? I mean, League of Assassins ... who was she supposed to kill?
