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.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

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 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.

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.

Goddammit Arrow!
And some side-eye for you, Flash. No more killing Cisco even a little bit.
I am also on Team Stop Lying to Iris. Although Eddie needs to learn the phrase It's Not My Secret to Reveal. I mean, it's a true and simple explanation for why he's not telling her something he wants to tell her. Maybe it wouldn't be enough for her, but it's something. Joe and Barry just need to stop.
Gotham has moments where I think it's getting really good, and then other times I am just not sure how I feel about it. I enjoyed Fish's escape a lot and I hope she survives. It's mostly young Bruce I'm not sure about, I guess. And most of my misgivings might have to do with Selina and Bruce. Hm.
Anyone else watch 12 Monkeys? I really dug it. For most of the season I was mostly thinking that it was doing a good job of mining the same ideas as the movie and short, that the three together made a cool case study of how to address the same basic material in different formats, and then the last two episodes really opened the story up. Totally curious about where season 2 will go.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So that really was it for Roy: Colton Haynes exits Arrow.
