Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Womack ,'The Message'


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.

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 still find Ray Palmer to be super creepy.

I'm finding him less creepy, though Felicity's explanation of how they met followed with "But it wasn't as creepy as it sounds." made me shake my head. No, Felicity, it really was as creepy add it sounds.

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

I couldn't help but think, did the restaurant just call back all the people who'd been looking forward to their reservations that night for months and tell them the place was unexpectedly closing, better luck next time? Maybe people who'd been planning on proposing, or celebrating an anniversary or other special occasion? All so His Royal Majesty wouldn't have to be troubled by seeing anyone he wasn't personally dining with enjoying a nice meal?

Thoughtless entitlement by rich white dudes isn't actually all that charming.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I don't have a problem with Iris, but I am kinda pissed at how Joe has decided she needs to be kept in the dark. I was especially annoyed with the conversation between him and Eddie about making her decisions for her. Very patronizing.

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

Hee! You crazy, crazy show.

In retrospect, Lazarus Pit has been the Chekhov's gun this season all along. Are they gonna be able to name it as LP though? Or is there some DC rights issue that prevents the show from referring to it by its proper name?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I didn't see the Flash last night (yet), so I'm jumping past all those posts to wave my arms and yell LAZARUS PIT! It's funny, because right after the show went to commercial after the Roy fakeout, Tim said "Lazarus Pit. They can fix this with a Lazarus Pit." And then when Ra's knifed Thea (not cool, man), we both yelled "LAZARUS PIT!"

I feel like this whole episode was really disjointed, though, like the showrunners knew where they needed to get all the characters to be by the end of the episode, but had no idea how to get there in an elegant manner. Weird episode.

Also, I'm REALLY tired of waiting for Akio to die in the flashbacks. I'm hoping there's a HUGE fakeout on that one and he doesn't die, but the damn show has been telegraphing it all season. (LAZARUS PIT for Akio! LAZARUS PIT for everyone! Dig up Tommy! Dig up Moira!)

Watching Flash before Arrow. JFC stop making me angry on Iris's behalf! I saw the discussion here but God damn. I want to punch them all. Maybe Felicity especially.

And no, Felicity, it was just as creepy as it sounds.

I keep thinking bee girl is Penelope Garcia from the back.

"Ain't nobody got time for bees!" Okay, there's one person I don't want to smack.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was upset they did not address the Ray/Felicity unreciprocation in Flash, and then bam right away address it in Arrow. does seem sloppy. I realize the audiences do not all watch both, but I have not liked these 2 episodes. I hope next weeks' are awesome.

Very sloppy.

No, but she was in The Walking Dead.

Also, I'm REALLY tired of waiting for Akio to die in the flashbacks. I'm hoping there's a HUGE fakeout on that one and he doesn't die, but the damn show has been telegraphing it all season. (LAZARUS PIT for Akio! LAZARUS PIT for everyone! Dig up Tommy! Dig up Moira!)

And for the real Wells while we're at it.

I was glad to see Felicity make some effort at saving herself.

Ack! My DVR cut off the preview!

Okay, that episode of the Flash was just FUN.

Except, YES, everyone needs to stop lying to Iris. I don't really have much use for her, but everyone needs to stop lying to her. Whenever she finds out, I hope she's as righteously pissed at everyone as Cop Daddy is over on Arrow. Maybe they can have a support group, called Everyone Who Loves Me Is A Lying Jerk.
