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.

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.

Oooh, maybe he'll come back wrong and start having dirty sex with Malcolm Merlyn.
Shockingly, there's no Oliver/Malcom fic on AO3.

In a show where this scene is canon, there's no Oliver/Malcolm fic?
I am deeply disappointed in fandom.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The Arrow fandom is so overwhelming het (like, 95% of fic is Oliver/Felicity) and I don't get it. I mean, I ship Ollie with Felicity pretty hard but I'm a het-shipper and I'm sure plenty of slashers watch the show. Yet there are virtually no Oliver/Slade, Oliver/Tommy, Oliver/Diggle, or Oliver/Malcolm, all of whom sound appealing in different ways. 'Tis a mystery.

Also, no way that Tatsu is dead. My guess is Maseo would help resurrect Oliver / help nurse him back to health, Ra's will find out and kill him in retaliation, then Tatsu would show up swearing vengeance, paving the road to her becoming Katana. That would make a nice change from all the retconned fridged women (seriously, you HAD TO give Ray a dead fiancee? Talk about a failure in imagination.)

Of the top 10 pairings on AO3, 9 of them are het. And the 10th is Oliver/Felicity/Diggle.
Edit - wait, I'm wrong -- it's Oliver & Felicity & Diggle, which means that they are all in the story, not slash.

Seriously. That reveal didn't have the effect on me that the showrunners probably intended.

Because Oliver&Felicity4EVER!11!!!
I meant to say last week how much I loved their interaction on the Flash in the coffee shop. Maybe their best interactions since the date of doom.
Tonight made my cold heart grow 2 sizes.
It is weird to me to ship them so hard and love all their moments. I don't remember being like this with other shows.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Also, no way that Tatsu is dead.
Normally I would agree with you, but this show doesn't exactly have the best record with keeping kickass female romantic partners alive.
