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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My guess is we'll get some pay off with Waller next week. She didn't really want Tommy dead (I imagine assassinating the son of a billionaire trained by Ra's al Ghul would bring her trouble she'd rather not expend resources to deal with) but she got Ollie to 1) do what she wanted for the first time even if it wasn't in the manner she requested 2) thinking like an operative.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Every time I see Brandon Routh now the urge to shout "Todd the vegan!" is overwhelming.

I know, right? It amuses me that Scott Pilgrim spawned not one but 2 superheroes (Lucas Lee WOO!).

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

Brandon Routh was a superhero before Scott Pilgrim.

It seems stating the obvious to say I didn't know that, based on my last post.

t edit And I have no sense of time, because I would have said Scott Pilgrim came out only 3 years ago, which is obviously not right.

Back to Flash, I guess getting stabbed in the chest was a better fate for Simon Stagg than being turned into giant mutant monster with inappropriate thoughts toward his daughter.

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

Her haircut is AWESOME.

Yes, I love it!

I'm really troubled by the fact that, for 2 episodes in a row now, there has been NO SALMON LADDER.

Also this.

I am pretty shallow right at the moment I guess.

Liking the Flash very much, although I don't really have anything to say about it just now.

A friendemy on "Arrow". "People running around shooting arrows and stuff is great. And then the Arrow opens his mouth."

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

It seems stating the obvious to say I didn't know that

Superman?

Chris Evans was also a superhero before Scott Pilgrim (FF4), so he was just keeping on keeping on.

...and clearly I didn't remember that, either.

I retract my former statement and substitute this: "Hey, Scott Pilgrim sure likes to use superheroes!"

(Seriously, if I ever knew, I forgot. And yet I opened my big mouth anyway. It's a thing.)

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

I never saw Brandon's Superman movie, but even after seeing him on Chuck, once I saw Scott Pilgrim he's ALWAYS been "Todd the Vegan"

Seriously - "Chicken cordon bleu isn't vegan?"
