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.

re: the timing of the Arrow crossover

When Barry first reaches out he finds out that Oliver is in Nanda Parbat and has to get the Argus transport through Lyla. I suppose it's possible that the action for the second half of Flash takes place after the action from the first half of tonight's Arrow. While not a true crossover, it's also not entirely inconsistent. I guess we'll see where Ollie ends up at the end of tonight's episode.

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

iZombie: HOLY SHIT. This show is done fucking around.

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

I am pretty certain that the timing for the ep is before 3.21 of Arrow. That would be the last that Ray would be willing to help Oliver in my mind. And by episode layout we know that Arrow is one full episode ahead of Flash.

Oliver hopping across hemispheres to help out isn't really a concern with Barry providing transportation, is it? I mean, if there were any 10 minutes where he wasn't onscreen in an Arrow episode, Barry could have run him over and back during that.

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

CBS is putting Supergirl on opposite Gotham.

Don't hire someone who starred in Prison Break to assist you in transporting prisoners.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hah!

AWESOME.

I really do get why the show has to have Dumb!Barry (1. Hey, he's still new at the whole superheroing thing, and 2. If he were as smart as he should be, he would be undefeatable, and that's not interesting in a superhero), but he has done some SERIOUSLY stupid shit in the last several episodes.

Though he's far from alone in that (Joe, I am looking at you, and you should know better).

I thought Barry's comment about Wells being a thousand steps ahead of him was especially ironic. Of course he is. Barry... buddy... saying that Wells is a lot smarter than you ain't necessarily all that much of a compliment.

Re: tonight's Arrow finale -- I admit that the thing I'm probably looking forward to the most (I'm not spoiled, so this is just an assumption) is finding out how flashback!Ollie gets to Russia. He's (or he was) a dang Bratva captain, and that doesn't just happen overnight, so I assume S4's flashbacks will be Russia, or wherever he was that led to the Bratva dealie. And that had BETTER involve a lot of Anatoly.
