Hey, I noticed, too. The baddie of the week was a total hotass, with cheekbones like razor blades. That face looked super-familiar then I found out Kent was played by Johnathon Schaech, whom I mostly remember from That Thing You Do! (holy crap, I can't believe that movie is almost 20 years old).

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.

on Sleepy Hollow the baddie - Solomon Kent - seemed to be pretty impressively muscled. Especially for someone who is (or should have been) dead for a good long while.
He really knew how to work that cape, too.

The Flash: I was sort of lukewarm on this episode -- until the end. When I saw "Grodd" carved into the sewer walls over and over, I may have screamed. Just a little.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Kneel before Grodd.

Is there a thread where we talk about Jane the Virgin because OH MY GOD

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shoot, Daredevil looks pretty good.

Seriously, that might have been the greatest thing I've seen on TV this year so far. I slapped my throw pillows and cackled like a deranged person for like 10 minutes. The brushing off of the letters from the chyron! I have so much respect for the show for its willingness to own its crack and move along its relentless crazy plot train. And it does all that with so much OTT panache.
And that stuff they pulled with Petra! The way they cut to the commercials immediately after the thing! There was actual *screeching* on my part. And sandwiched between these two OMGWTF moments, you have that genuinely moving scene with Jane and Rogelio. MY GOD ROGELIO, HOW GREAT IS HE. "“You can’t have The Passions Of Santos without Santos! Then it’s just Passions. And that show failed!” I laughed like a drain, thinking back to Spike chained in Giles' bathtub yelling about how Timmy was down in the bloody well.
I don't know where the show belongs though. I feel like sensibility-wise, it belongs in Box Set because it reminds me of Pushing Daisies and The Middleman, which are both Box Set shows. But despite its heightened reality (and a touch of magic realism, maybe?) it doesn't have a clear-cut SF/F element. It's a telenovela dramedy so... in Comedy? Or in Natter with white-font, but I can't keep up with Natter. Honestly, I'd like it the best if we could talk about it here.
In short: More Buffistas should watch this show because IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

I wish I had time to watch it, but we're already 2 episodes behind on Agent Carter, and we're trying to watch all of Transparent before our Amazon Prime trial runs out. (I need to discuss that show somewhere. That family has SO MANY PROBLEMS, none of which have to do with Maura.)
Maybe we can catch up with Jane the Virgin on summer hiatus.
And I never got around to watching The Librarians, either. Only so many hours in a week, you know?
