Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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 was hoping that Clock King would get added to the Suicide Squad.

There is a Mr. Stretchy in The Flash's rogue gallery?! Ah well! Why wouldn't there be a stretchy guy?

Elongated Man is a good guy, not a member of the rogues gallery. IIRC, the character was actually created for the Flash comics.

It would be nice to see another good-guy character who was affected by the particle accelerator. (I guess Plastique had that potential, but that didn't work out. Unless she returns, which would be cool.) (And of course Firestorm.) (I'm going to be REALLY disappointed if he doesn't show up.)

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

Ahhh, gotcha. And Ronnie coming back is pretty much a given. The question is *when*. Maybe in the mid season finale, after the crossover episode?

By the way, how awesome was the promo for the the crossover?! It made me do a delighted seal clap, I won't lie: [link]

Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell were so much fun to watch together in that 1 minute promo that I'm now sad they are not on the same show ALL THE TIME.

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

In the Silver Age, the Elongated Man was a back-up feature in Detective Comics. He and his wife Sue Dibney were a husband and wife team patterned after Nick and Nora Charles. Only with less booze and more stretchy.

The characters did not fare well in the grim ’n gritty Modern Age of comics, hoo boy.

OK, here's the list of names: Jake Davenport, Darya Kim, Ralph Dibny, Al Rothstein, Grant Emerson, Will Everett, Bea da Costa, and Ronnie Raymond.

Man, I like the idea that the particle accelerator is the origin of a good chunk of the Justice Society/League. Nice.

Ugh, Identity Crisis. Not pretty.

Sue Dibney may not have been the first woman to be fridged, but she was quite nearly the epidome of the phenom.

I kind of wonder if Sue was fridged not just because she was a woman, but she was a woman in a happy, healthy marriage.
