iZombie was renewed!!
WOOT!
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?
'Lineage'
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 really don't see how two weeks of training with Nyssa (or whatever it was) could get Laurel to the point where she can take on a horde of League Assassins. But, hey, superhero logic.
Also, Team Arrow needs to get on the phone with Cisco and get him to rig up some radio earpieces that also counteract the Canary Cry. I was expecting Diggle to get shot when he reached into his pocket for those earplugs.

"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
In situations like that, couldn't they have one of the vigilantes use their brain and bring knockout gas and a mask to screen it rather than suddenly developing Bruce Lee-level fighting skills?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So here are some things bugging me:
- I want Lyla POV from 3x21 to 3x22
- I want scenes we are missing from 3x19 - 3x21 whenever Oliver worked out plan with Malcolm
- why why why could we not get a line with Nyssa objecting to wedding because he is a man. Why did her sexuality have to remain unvoiced?
- I need a timeline of episodes btw arrow and flash it has been off for a while.
- on topic of the two shows - how did the time reversal only affect CC?
- why no canary cry in NP?

Because knockout gas would be boring, Matt.
On the time reversal, I imagine it only affected Central City because the changes Barry made didn't really have any cascade effects outside of town (or at least, not noticeable ones). I imagine that the reversed day just repeated itself with little-to-no changes in the rest of the world.
No clue why Laurel didn't hit the assassins with a Canary Cry. My handwave would be she didn't want to risk damaging Felicity's hacking gear.
One note, I thought the Katana costume was pretty well done.

Just read a tumblr post making some comparisons btw BTVS and Arrow. Kinda interesting. The team aspect, for one.

Compassionately intolerant
I remain boggled at how fast air travel is between Starling City and Nanda Parbat. It's like NYC and DC, or something.
No lie.
I was so annoyed with Felicity for going to war in white pumps. Thank goodness she came to her senses and donned some sensible boots.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The i-am-caught-up reaction dump:
Gotham - Fish fuckin’ Mooney! Woo! She is relaxed. And done with your vexing bullshit. No way she’s dead, right? Right?
Barbara is super creepy, but she got way less scary once she picked up the knife.
Poor Butch.
Nygma has not gotten more interesting. Maybe next season.
I don’t know how I feel about Papa Wayne having a cave.
The Flash - So that’s Grodd. Well, okay then. Works for me.
So glad the “we can’t tell Iris” phase is over. Maybe the little bits of her character I enjoy will take over.
iZombie
“I can’t talk about Fight Club” so perfect.
Oh, man, so worried about all the characters now!
Arrow
WTF Arrow? What are you doing to me?

This season of Arrow has been pretty disappointing. It's like they knew they wanted Laurel to become Black Canary and Thea to become Speedy, but couldn't really figure out how to get there.
