But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll buy that.

Forever trivial question: Why is being in loose boxers indecent exposure? I was expecting (and would judge) the banana hammer, but shorts equivalent?

Improperly secured fly? I don't know, boxers cover more than a lot of swimsuits that are perfectly acceptable in public, but maybe it's the context of wearing something that's supposed to go under clothes that makes it indecent?

Underwear that's actually underwear and not skimpy outerwear makes people twitchy.

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

AHAHAHAHA OMFG.

(Uhm, I just finished watching Arrow).

I mean, in the back of my mind, I thought they might try something like this, but thinking and doing are two different things.

Still on Flash - I do not get how it was Wells beating himself up. I mean I guess it could be and I just don't. get it

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, I had to jump to the end here, because I haven't watched Flash yet.

This is the Buffy problem, y'all. I mean, this was well done (I *love* that Ollie really thought he could beat R'as), but THE SHOW IS CALLED "ARROW." I always figure anyone but the eponymous protagonist can die.

Oooh, maybe he'll come back wrong and start having dirty sex with Malcolm Merlyn.

Speaking of whom, I feel like the whole drugging Thea to kill Sarah is...kind of cheap. But not badly done.

Also, Ollie's reaction when Thea beat the hell out of the Arrow and then casually jumped off the balcony was PRICELESS.

Finally, HELLO ATOM.

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

The whole Ray Palmer plotline could have worked so much better if they had the rights to use Ted Kord.

I think the rest of the season should be everyone just sitting in the Arrow Cave asking, “Where’s Ollie?” and then cutting away to a shot of Ollie’s corpse on the side of the mountain.

I am geographically confused. Isn't Nanda Parbat supposed to be Tibet? Where in the hell is this mountain? Is Lazarus Pit available nearby? Maybe Ra's packed a portable one when he came to fight Ollie! I mean, I guess it's possible Oliver is just mostly dead instead of dead-dead, but a non-fatal chest wound seems boring when there is a chance of an actual resurrection close by.

When Ollie packed his Quest Satchel(TM), didn't he pack the little bag of Magic Island Herbs That Heal Anything (alsoTM)? It looked like he did. Maybe Maceo (whatever his new name is) will use them to save him.

Also, the Flash blew my mind, because I can't wrap my brain around time travel shit. I think Tom Cavanaugh is doing a hell of a job. Same with Jesse Martin.
