'Dirty Girls'


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.

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

I was hoping this was going to be the light, fun episode before all the endgame badness really started.

Right? I thought it was going to be wacky shenanigans hour like the Ellie/Awesome wedding ep from Chuck, or Gwen/Rhys one from Torchwood -- I loved both of those. Ahh, missed opportunities.

By the way, I watched both episodes of iZombie, and I am SO IN. That second episode in particular made me laugh very hard, especially Liv channelling Xavier's appetite and coming onto EVERYBODY, and every time Sark, I mean, Blaine, opened his mouth. David Anders' line delivery is AMAAAAZING. He is going to be such a fun antagonist. I like all other supporting characters, too, especially Ravi, who looks like a cross between Zachary Levi and Josh Radnor, except South-Asian and British. And seriously, a basket of candies and flowers to whoever decided to let him keep his accent, because that whole package is really working for me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm just wondering why there are still people living in Starling City at all

Cheap real estate. Unless you want to low-shaking option. That costs ya more.

I wonder if they can write Blaine well enough for him to live up to his being a walking Spike reference - in terms of appearance and place in show ecosystem. (Dangerously glib and dangerously hot antagonist/enemy/frienemy.)

If this show begets any kind of fandom, it's probably gonna be centered on Blaine. Then we can all rehash the charismatic bad boy / antagonist redemption arguments (ughh). One can only hope that the writers don't give him some kind of tragic backstory.

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

Sark, I mean, Blaine,

You mean Logan.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Cyrus Vanch. (S1 of Arrow.)

t edit Playing "hey, it's that guy!" led me to realize that Babineaux was on Elementary, as Det. Bell's brother.

Over on the Flash, Cisco's girlfriend-stealing douche of a brother was on Sleepy Hollow AND (way back in the dark ages) The O.C.

Does Deadshot in the comics have a son or a daughter?

I wonder what Jason Dohring is doing nowadays. I can easily see him in the Blaine role (but glad Anders got cast, because he's fabulous.)

Babineaux was on Elementary, as Det. Bell's brother.

!! I thought he looked familiar.

Cisco's girlfriend-stealing douche of a brother was on Sleepy Hollow AND (way back in the dark ages) The O.C.

He was also just in Jane the Virgin as Xiomara's love interest (which was never gonna last because... Rogelio!)

And Snart's sister was in Tomorrow People with Robbie Amell! The CW people sure like recycling their actors.

He has a daughter, at least in the continuity from 2005. t edit This miniseries: [link] It was pretty damn good.

Incidentally, I think the one sentence description of izombie is: "izombie is the love child of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dead Like Me."
