Willow ,'Help'
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.
Arrow: I actually stayed up and watched it live last night, which I almost never do. When I had been wondering about whether or not we would have a whole episode without Ollie, I forgot about flashbacks. At least this week's was directly relevant.
I don't believe that Laurel could get that good in such a short amount of time. t /broken record
I think they're setting up a major battle between Thea and Malcolm. The "I could have killed you" exchange seemed like major foreshadowing.
I don't believe that Laurel could get that good in such a short amount of time.
Right? I believed in League of Assassins-trained Black Canary, but not Goes To The Gym After Work Black Canary.
Yes, and I believe in your father is burning your hand so you don't feel pain Thea just fine too.
Thea being that good in such a short time kind of stretches credulity, except for the fact that they were probably training all day, every day. And Laurel hasn't, because of that pesky day job, for one.
But she has righteous anger...
That's gotta count, right?
Maybe for Carrie, other people still have to learn how to aim.
Abigail Adams would have been in her 30s. However, by 1777, she had had six children, one stillborn, in 10 years. She had run the farm during John's many absences. It seemed through those years that he was only home long enough to get her pregnant again. When money ran short because he was off revolutionizing instead of lawyering, she tracked down clients with unpaid bills and demanded payment. It's much easier to believe in Abigail Adams as supernatural crime fighter than it is to believe in Dawn as Abigail Adams.
Her Dawn-ness was distracting to me as well. Even more alarning, she's TWENTY NINE.
I am very very old. I am Icabod old.
When I was in grad school (okay, this was 30 years ago, so my memory may be wrong), I did a paper on Abigail Adams's correspondence during the Revolutionary War. My memory is, she was very good at running the farm in John's absence. However, she hated doing it. She repeatedly told John that she wanted him home so he could run the farm while she went back to her regular role. Fascinating individual.
I could see her as a reluctant supernatural crime fighter.
I suspect what she really wanted was to get back to having time to read. Her parents didn't believe in education for girls, but she managed to read everything in sight, so that when John met her, he was surprised at her erudition.
(yes, I'm a fan.)
yes, I'm a fan.
Not a lot there to not be a fan of as far as I've ever heard/read.
