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.

Thrive to spite them

I actually watched Arrow last night. Well most of it, I didn't catch the beginning.

Ollie is not the only one with poor decision making. I thought when Roy told Cyn (or is it Sin?) that he would explain about Sara "after" I thought he meant - after I tell you the plan. Not after we go through with the plan.

Why can't Malcolm kill Ra's. He's the one who started the mess, why couldn't Oliver be like - you want to get out of this, go kill the Ra's.

Plus I like Cyn way more than Laurel. Can we have her instead of Laurel?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Being unkillable (or rather, un-stay-deadable) is sort of Ra's signature.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ra's al Ghul. Ra's's. They did not think that name through.

It's like his name is Klingon, or something.

More like Goa'uld...

Did I post *anything* about Arrow yesterday? t checks Huh. I did not. I was kind of...underwhelmed, honestly. Although I *loved* Cop Daddy immediately knowing who Roy was in his Arsenal getup (but, SERIOUSLY, if he knows who Roy is, it beggars belief that he can't tell the Arrow is Ollie). And it's about goddamn time that someone pointed out to him that the blonde lady vigilante is not Sarah.

I sort of feel like Felicity taking a stand on Ollie training with Malcolm is a contrived way to keep them apart, but at the same time, (1) the show set it up really well, and (2) she's not wrong. (OTOH, Ollie's not entirely wrong, either.)

I like that they didn't even try to redeem Malcolm (whose flashback wig is *almost* as bad as Ollie's). I mean, they might try to go that way, but I feel like they really weren't going for that within last night's episode.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Wasn't it strongly hinted at last season that he knows that Ollie is Arrow but he felt it better that he not know?

I didn't mind Felicity's reason for keeping them apart because she is so much less wrong than Ollie, imho.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

12 Monkeys: I missed something, why did Cole kill the doctor?

I am not completely sure. To keep the timeline right? Although his mission is to change the past, not preserve it (although maybe if something changed but not the right thing he would wink out of existence and humanity would still be doomed). Answer not clear, ask again later. At this point, I'm not convinced that they CAN change the past, especially the way that short hop worked out last night.

Luther is coming back? I thought Luther was all done.

Jane the Virgin seems like it should go in Comedy, although I have not watched it at all. So, generous helpings of salt.

Man, I know I had stuff to say about Sleepy Hollow and Flash and Arrow and Grimm and Constantine but it's all gone. Stupid brain, not retaining anything. I should take notes.

Felicity's "I don't want to be a woman you love" made all kinds of sense.

Does Thea know that Ollie is the Arrow? I forget. But if she does, he doesn't know she knows, right? Does he really expect no one to put together that the Arrow being missing and his "jail time in Bloodhaven" completely coincide?

If she knows, *we* don't know that she knows. Nor does Ollie.

His cover stories SUCK.
