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.

It would be nice if Forever was renewed, but I know its chances are slim. The mytharc has been smoothly intertwined, the relationship with the female cop has been secondary, Dr. Henry and the female cop work well together, the mysteries have been interesting, and Henry and Abe have a wonderful relationship. And Lucas is terrific.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It looks like they'll end on a cliffhanger with Jo learning Henry's secret.

I figured out that Adam was involved with Abigail's death, though not till nearly the end, and I didn't figure out exactly how. Very nicely done.

It would be very interesting to see how Jo would react. Lucas would be so fascinated. Lucas' reaction to the lab was terrific.

What I like most about the show is the lack of interpersonal angst. Abe isn't nursing weird resentments from his odd life, Henry has legitimate coping issues, Jo soldiers on, and the police station has mutual respect and fairly well-adjusted people.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't even know where Arrow is headed. I am befuddled. But glad for shirtlessness.

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

Teppy, I haven't finished tonight's episode yet, but they finally said the words Lazarus Pit.

When Malcolm said "Lazarus Pit," I was SO HAPPY.

I smiled at it thinking how happy you were when you heard it.

Just finished the episode, and this pretty much sums it up. And also, go Felicity!

Since Malcolm said that the Lazarus Pit changes people, my headcanon is now that, way back in the day, Ra's was just a mild-mannered accountant. Like, he was Cyril Figgis until he got tossed into the pit.
