Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Glory ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

iZombie continues to be amazing fun and I kinda like the potential new love interest. Although I worry he is one of Zombie!Sark's customers. And am worried about Major (who for some reason reminds me of Capt. Awesome).

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

Bradley James! (He played Arthur on BBC Merlin). Blonde or brunette, who can forget those cheekbones. I liked him and hope he'll be recurring.

That was like an acid flashback to S1 Veronica Mars, what with Dick Casablancas and mentions of GHB. I kinda expected Lowell to be a zombie given his sudden interest in Liv, but the Captain being a zombie was a shock.

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

That was like an acid flashback to S1 Veronica Mars, what with Dick Casablancas and mentions of GHB.

Plus some Party Down with Willy the Wino's catchphrase of "Are we having fun yet?"

the Captain being a zombie was a shock.

Yes!! I love how they've coded hot sauce to zombieism. Hee.

And am worried about Major (who for some reason reminds me of Capt. Awesome).

Same on both counts. I was afraid the new body for Liv was his.

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

I think I hate Iris West more than I hate Laurel. I'm just fast-forwarding through her scenes now.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I like the actress, but the "hero's love interest makes really bad decisions because everyone is keeping them in the dark" was horrible enough on Arrow. I have no idea why they felt the need to repeat it on The Flash.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Her as secret love interest is so cheesy and clichéd to begin with. Maybe it's from the comics, I don't know. But they've gone nowhere good with it, and borderline creepy at times.

Barry and Iris were a couple in the comics, though the next-door neighbor/adopted siblings thing is new for the show (and poorly conceived, IMO). At least, that's how it used to be. I can't speak for the current New 52 universe. (Which is where The Reverse Flash killed Barry's mother story came from. Originally Barry just decided to fight crime because he had super powers and it was the right thing to do.)

"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

That's one of the reasons I loved it when Byrne had both Martha and Jonathan Kent alive in the present day. Look, no tragic backstory needed to motivate someone to be a hero!

I am very tired of tragic backstories.

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

The Flash:

Cisco having memories of the altered timeline was not something I was expecting, and I started immediately worrying that he really wouldn’t make it to the end of the season because the timeline wants to correct itself. I didn’t think he was going to recover from that bee sting.

I still find Ray Palmer to be super creepy. Buying out the entire restaurant?
