Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

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

Jesse L. Martin makes all shows better just by being there and occasionally smiling.
Preach. For just the two of those guys, whoever handled casting deserves a cosmic high-five. [Although, Barry was cast from Arrow. Still. High-five!]
The Faces of Joe West
I love when the internet is adorable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel like maybe Barry taunting his former bully by talking to him with his mask off is going to bite him in the ass when the inevitable prison break happens.
Totally!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I almost feel like it's a waste to have Martin on a CW TV series rather than off winning a Tony on Broadway, but then I wouldn't be able to watch him in new material on a weekly basis.

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.
My feeling about Wells is that he thinks he is a good guy, but is so ruthless and indifferent to collateral damage in the course of achieving his (laudable) goal that he is not.

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.
The Flash: so that red/yellow blur at the end has to be Harrison Wells, right? Which makes him... Reverse Flash? Professor Zoom? (OK, I actually don't know the difference between the two since I've been trying not to read up too much on the comics canon in order not to get spoiled for the show.) Or maybe show just *wants* us to think it is Wells. But honestly, who else could it be?
They were selling it pretty hard this episode. If it's not, then one has to wonder who else even knows that Joe is investigating the case again. If they don't explain that if it's not Wells, I'm going to be very disappointed.
I feel like maybe Barry taunting his former bully by talking to him with his mask off is going to bite him in the ass when the inevitable prison break happens. (That's not a spoiler; just speculation based on the GIANT FLASHING SIGN of Nothing Can Go Wrong When You Store Metahuman Villains In One Place.)
Yeah. As emotionally satisfying as I'm sure that was for him (and vicariously for Cisco and Caitlin) my thought was "You never taunt the super-villain, Barry. They ALWAYS escape!"
My feeling about Wells is that he thinks he is a good guy, but is so ruthless and indifferent to collateral damage in the course of achieving his (laudable) goal that he is not.
I think he's almost definitely evil, but he has a very specific plan in mind for Barry, and will do whatever it takes to make sure he gets him there.

Arrow:
Poor Ollie. Palmer steals his company, his love interest and his salmon ladder.
Or at least I'd say "Poor Ollie" if it wasn't his own stupid fault.
I will give the actress playing Cupid credit, she managed to play the over-the-top crazy without going completely into camp territory.

Glad to see Felicity's reaction to the salmon ladder is much like mine ... ours?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They didn't actually show him doing the ladder, though.
