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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well, they made a point of mentioning that Henry still owns Irving's soul, and Henry is still around, so Irving may turn up again. Possibly the undead minon of Henry, but hey.

Although maybe it's not redemption; maybe they come back in January and he's still evil, but he just got pissed enough at Moloch that he got all stabby.

Yeah, I'm sort of hoping. And... what was their plan? Because it seems like it was a bad plan. Sketchy at best. Hope Henry would be redeemed by Ichabod's speechifyng about Isaac/Abraham at the church? But if that didn't work, hope that Henry would mull things over on the walk to Moloch after the church shenanigans and, in combination with Moloch being a dick to Henry, that would cause Henry to stabinate Moloch instead of the lot of our heroes? I'm so confused.

On the other hand -- Irving going out a mighty, sword-fighting hero was great. Except for the Irving going out part.

Ichabod's motorcycle infatuation. Adorbs.

Abbie's general badassery... except for the part where I'm still sort of confused about what her plan was... was cool. The I'll use the sword, and if I fail, you pick it up, and so on speech was a good, rousing bit.

I'm not sure how happy I am that Henry saves the day because Moloch was a bad father figure. Though realizing that Moloch doesn't keep his deals was a good lesson as well.

Excellent place to leave it, though.

I think that it was less about Henry's redemption and more about being pissed at Moloch.

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

Yes, please.

What are the chances there will be fanfic involving Hawley sorting out his thoughts by monologue-ing at Headless? Cause I would read that.

I think Abby's plan was to enchant up the fake methusasword.

So much love. Here's hoping his next thing is soon and as awesome as he is (tall order). He'll have to be back on the show at some point for something, right? Right.

Trudy - I missed a fake sword, but I'd love to hear more. I feel like I can usually cobble something together. I guess maybe there could have been potential Katrina magical shenanigans to put in to play, and then Henry went ahead and stabbed his crappy stand-in father, and it was all a con they didn't end up needing. Yet.

Abbie and Jenny totally got taken down too fast by Henry at the church, so a con seemed the thing. Getting captured and taken to Moloch I was even down with, but then when they were all tied to trees, I lost the thread of how this could work out. But, then, magic. Or secret Hawley deployment? January. So close, and yet...

Interesting stuff with Katrina and Abraham.
