'War Stories'


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 haven't watched the most recent episode yet, but I'll have to listen extra carefully when I do.

I look forward to hearing what you think. I wonder whether my brain was promoting a favorite.

I'm getting old and just can't stay awake that late.

I went to bed in the middle of an 10p show last week, and I thought, wow, how grown up. Usually I'd try to force it (possibly falling asleep in the chair). I felt very responsible checking out early.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We shut the TV off at 9, anything that airs after that (other than Agents of SHIELD) we watch on the DVR.

That Tumblr is brilliant.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, so I'm way behind with Arrow, but shut up, I didn't cry at the graveyard scene, you did.

I really hope they dial way, way back on Ray Palmer, because the stalker stuff is far outweighing any potential cuteness.

Poor Oliver. Even if you only consider the past two years since he got back from the island, his best friend died, his mom died, his sorta-girlfriend died -- no wonder all he can see ahead for him his death.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

So, is every character on Arrow going to be a warrior?

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

Apparently. Maybe not Felicity.

I was so freakin' weird seeing Oliver fighting in regular dude clothes in *sunlight*. I feel like we haven't seen that since the first couple of eps of season 1.

So, those classified weaponry blue prints on Felicity's computer -- it wasn't immediately clear to me, but that was from the recovered hard drive from QC Applied Sciences Division, from back when QC was super sketchy and under Isabel Rochev's reign, right?

Nyssa, oh honey.

I was wondering about that.

Nyssa, oh honey.

Hell hath no fury.

I don't know how I feel about Ted Grant.

Finally, that sibling stuff is my damn kryptonite. It will always ALWAYS get to me.

Oh, wait -- finally, FINALLY: how is John Barrowman so attractive??? Dang.

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

Felicity knew what was going on in that lab. Why did she just hand over the files?

I predict that watching Laurel "box" will be painful.

I'm distraught at how the salmon ladder continues to be shunned.

WHY, ARROW, WHY?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Any chance Thea will be the Canary? she seems to have the potential.

And Steph, I miss the salmon ladder and exended parkour scenes.
