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.

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

But maybe this will lead to him getting the Atom's actual powers of de-bigulating.

Is that his actual power in the comics? I was guessing that this was going to lead to him having a power.

I hate Detective Lance being on the opposing side of Team Arrow.

I don't have a great feeling about Roy throwing himself on that metaphorical grenade.

I feel like Felicity's mom was entirely superfluous in this episode. What was the point?

I hate Detective Lance being on the opposing side of Team Arrow.

Me, too. Although, you know, Ollie DID kill a lot of people in S1.

But maybe this will lead to him getting the Atom's actual powers of de-bigulating.

He can shrink way down in the comics. The thing is, the showrunners didn't want the Atom; they wanted Ted Kord (the second Blue Beetle, who was basically exactly the way Ray Palmer is portrayed -- super genius, amazing tech, etc.). But DC told them no, that they had other plans for Ted Kord. So the show took Ray Palmer and basically made him Ted Kord in everything but his name.

I know, but Lance pretty much admitted tonight he knew Ollie was the Arrow before this. This is still all the stupid fallout of stupidly killing off Sara. t still bitter

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

Well that was BONKERS. I don't ask this show to make sense. I ask for it to bring the crack and make me go AHHHHH and giggle. I was delighted. :)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I find Felicity's mom painful to watch.

I find it painful that that actress is old enough to be Felicity's mom, but I actually really enjoy her character.

Oh! I kind of want, every season from now on, for the Big Bad to dramatically announce to someone "Oliver Queen...is...THE ARROW."

Although Slade did it better last season.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I thought he was weird-looking in Ed, but I find him oddly attractive in The Flash.

Cause he's so damned smart. Smart is hot.

Well, we don't know what the future-tech did exactly, so maybe some of Wells got sucked over along with the the DNA, and is buried inside, either as memories or a subconscious. It might explain some of not so villainous aspects of Wells current personality. At times he does seem to be genuinely interested in helping people.

My theory -- the two of them were combined into one person (like Firestorm, but on purpose). So, if they kill Thawne, Wells will be left.

I find it painful that that actress is old enough to be Felicity's mom, but I actually really enjoy her character.

I remember when she was a "young star" on Days of our Lives!

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

So the show took Ray Palmer and basically made him Ted Kord in everything but his name.

Yeah. In the comics, Ray was a physics professor who wore a suit made of dwarf star matter that compressed his atoms to allow him to shrink. He also dated and later married Jean Loring, who showed up on Arrow as Moira Queen's defense attorney.

I'm trying to think of someone else they could have used besides Ray to stand in for Ted Kord, but can't. And Tony Stark is busy in another universe.
