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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Man, why can't flashback!Ollie get a haircut???

Ollie and Thea fighting Slade was DEEPLY satisfying.

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

Holy shit. I can't believe Oliver told Thea about Sara. I have been complaining about these damn secrets for months, and now it's all out in the open in the span of two episodes!

Ollie and Thea fighting Slade was DEEPLY satisfying.

Yeppers. As was Thea telling Malcolm off at the end. And there being actual consequences from Laurel keeping that secret from Quentin.

D'aww, OH TOMMY. Also, hello there Marc Singer! That's an interesting development.

I was SO HAPPY about that.

D'aww, OH TOMMY.

I love every single chance they get to have him back. And it's really amusing to note that in that one tiny scene at the end, Laurel had more chemistry than she ever, EVER had with Ollie.

Also, hello there Marc Singer! That's an interesting development.

I really wanted that to be General Eiling from The Flash, but presumably 5 years ago he was busy tinkering with telepathic gorillas with Dr. Wells.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Oh, I found the "Sympathy for the Devil" cover from Sleepy Hollow--it's by the Hampton String Quartet. I think they added in some extra percussion on the show, but it's still a cool-sounding track.

Oooh, excellent.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thea still doesn't know she killed Sara.

Oh, right. Well, that one's out of the way too.

While Oliver was telling Sara not to kill Slade, Slade had this little eyeroll that just slayed me. You know things are bad when Slade thinks you're over the top.

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

Man, why can't flashback!Ollie get a haircut???

Because then I would have a much harder time knowing that I'm watching a flashback. They're on the island in the present and Starling City in the past, it's confusing! I need the hair signifier.

Ollie and Thea fighting Slade was DEEPLY satisfying.

True. Man I enjoy Slade a whole lot.

Also Quentin telling Laurel to go to a different meeting. Good scene. And every bit of Tommy, but especially that "you're not my brother" bit graveside.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Does Stein remember that Wells totally drugged his Scotch and left him to be carted off to Eiling's super-secret base?

Yeah, I wonder if they're going to gloss over that, or if it'll come back.

I'm not sure Stein recognized the source of the drugging. It's easier to suspect that Star labs had gotten breached than it is to suspect your ice cube was tampered with.

The thing that misdirected me at first was the wince at the taste of the whiskey. I just assumed it was Spy daddy's Stein's newly re-arranged taste buds.

Edit: Remove redundancy.

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

Finally saw last week's Arrow, and I think it was one of the best episodes so far this season. I'm only sad that there was no Moira.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Wow, wow, wow! Sleepy Hollow! What's next?
