I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I like Forever. I'm an ep behind, but you're not alone.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Caitlin's comment about how Ronnie and she were like "Fire and Ice" AHAHAHA oh show SO MUCH CHEESE LET ME GET SOME LACTAID

Robbie Amell looks much better with shorter hair here than he did in Tomorrow People. Also much more like his cousin.

Finally, man, this show really makes the men cry a lot.

I think it's mostly Jesse L. Martin. It's those tragic doe eyes of his, forever on the verge of shedding a tear.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think it's mostly Jesse L. Martin. It's those tragic doe eyes of his, forever on the verge of shedding a tear.

I would watch him making a tuna sandwich. And almost crying about it.

But it also makes Dawson's Dad and Barry cry (or almost-cry) a lot, too. They all need to hug it out big time.

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 like Forever too. I just don't have much to say about it. Other this:

Upon death, your body vanishes. And a living you appears miles away. Why the heck are you looking for medical,chemical or biological explanations? Though I guess handwavioum and unobtanium are both pretty tough elements to test for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And oh yes, Ichabod, we forgot to mention, you can save drowning people by making out with them now. Science!

That was a really nice example of his not knowing modern stuff, to go with all the goofy ones. "...she's drowned." Step aside, man! CPR time!

I like the way Adam keeps twitting him with how young he is. He's going to have to consider magic--or Highlander Syndrome--eventually. Which will nicely upset his scientific mind. This is the first cop show I've seen in a while where the cop is disturbed by killing someone.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Upon death, your body vanishes. And a living you appears miles away.

And a NAKED living you appears ....

Which raises the question - what happens to his clothes, wallet, ID, etc., that he's carrying? I know, I know ... handwave, handwave ....

I like Forever, too. I skipped an ep, but I'm still in. So curious to see who his taunter is.

Really enjoying Flash, even though I know I'm missing all the stuff people who know Flash lore are getting. I love the way they're playing Dr. Wells.

In Forever, I was very relieved when the killer was not Adam, though I wonder why he was interested in the killings. And Dr. Henry figured out that Black Dahlia was the next murder with his own set of clues, he didn't need to have Adam give it to him.

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.

Yeah, the Fire and Ice line made me shake my head. Enjoyed the episode, some good lines. The meteor accelerator freak was pretty cool visually and conveyed a decent threat, though I was expecting the typical Flash response of "run around him in a circle really fast to make a vortex" to defeat him, but I imagine that would get old really quick on a weekly show.

I think the difference with Ronnie is he was caught in the actual explosion rather than affected by the fallout.
