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. :)
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

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 find Felicity's mom painful to watch.

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

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 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.

How DID Cop Daddy get a warrant for Ollie's arrest? His proof is from a shifty immortal master assassin. How does that stand up before a judge?
I do still love this show, but man, sometimes it's nonsensical. (And not in the fun way that The Flash is nonsensical. Because in the The Flash, they can play fast and loose with time travel, because it's not a thing in the everyday world beyond the 4th wall. But in Arrow, law enforcement is a real thing, and you don't get a warrant because Ra's al Ghul said Oliver Queen is the Arrow.)

Ray is Tony Stark without the daddy issues and alcoholism.

mac basically screams "Fake Iron Man" everytime they show the Atom suit. He hates it just a little bit less than Laurel.

Well he does have dead girlfriend issues, so that's gotta count for something.
The fake Iron Man suit sucks. Early on Ray did mention something about using tech to shrink stuff, so I remain hopeful that the real Atom shows up.
