Somehow ended up watching iZombie over everything else tonight. Fun, Fun, FUN! I really enjoyed it and really like the lead actress (she's even got a Veronica Mars voiceover going on). Plus, although not much of him tonight, the return of David Anders to my television which could also be enormous fun.

'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yes! She was really good. Fun times, looking forward to the rest of the series for sure.
Plus, diverse cast! I hope we see Marcie again. An Indian woman onscreen in the first ten seconds, what was that, that never happens.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I agree about the lead actress. She's terrific. What was weird to me was that the medical examiner sounds exactly like Ioan Gruffyd, the ME on Forever (which is on right after iZombie). Do all ME's have British accents?

Nitpicking The Flash. Central City isn't a coastal city. It's in the middle of the country (thus Central City and not Coast City) and across the river from Keystone. There's been a couple of times (like tonight) when they've shown it to be on the ocean, and it bugs.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"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
I guess all screenwriters live on the coasts and can't imagine anything interesting going on away from them? You'd think someone with weather powers wouldn't be super-dependent on having open water to cause destruction. And Flash has done the reverse spin thing to dissipate tornadoes in the comics.
I'm also wondering how much thought goes into the decision to level a city with a tsunami to get revenge on one person. I mean, seems to me that's the sort of thing that could get the OK for cruise missiles to be launched at the block you're standing on the next time you show your face anywhere.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
“We didn’t even script that [Cisco] cries; it was a notion that Tom and Carlos worked out where the minute Tom walks into the room, Carlos knows he’s going to die. It wasn’t even something we intended, it’s what they brought to it.”

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I read that in the comments on the AV Club's review (slow work day for me)! That impresses the hell out of me. Apparently a lot of people hate Cisco, but I like him. And Tom Cavanaugh has been fangoddamntastic since day 1. Dr. Wells is like the Mayor in BTVS -- sure, he's evil, but he's ridiculously compelling and just a joy to watch.
