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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Supergirl looks great. Light and fun. Just what I'm needing these days!

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

Didn't expect Merlyn to become Ra's. I assumed Oliver would give the finger thingie to Nyssa.

Go Speedy!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Why did Nyssa go back to Nanda Parbat and bow to Merlyn? She should have stayed in StarlingCity, it's a much saner place.

"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

And League armor can stop sniper bullets, but not arrows? Seems a little odd.

I think that's true of real-world kevlar as well.

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.

Yeah, I don't understand why Nyssa went back to the League and why she bowed to Merlyn rather than just trying to kill him right there.

FLASH/ARROW

So it looks like they had the right order in the crossovers, no? Barry coming to Nanda Parbat and freeing the gang was the "favor" Arrow asked of him after helping take down Wells. And Barry already had seen Oliver in the black suit per his comment. I still can't figure out when Oliver had time to slip away to help him.

Yeah, I don't understand why Nyssa went back to the League and why she bowed to Merlyn rather than just trying to kill him right there.

I think she went back because she wants to be Ras and Merlyn is someone she could kill without compunction. She didn't kill him yet because he's too strong for her right now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, I don't understand why Nyssa went back to the League and why she bowed to Merlyn rather than just trying to kill him right there.

She is also a member of the LoA. Yes, her father kicked her out, but I can easily see Malcolm ordering her back, because he'd rather have her close at hand. And if she's a member of the LoA, and Ra's commands her presence, she's gotta be there.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Also, it puts her in a good position to just slide a dagger into his side sometime if he doesn't stay on his guard.

Did Nyssa and Oliver actually get married? I know she pulled a dagger on him during a ceremony (wearing her mother's necklace! how ... sentimental), but did they actually finish it?

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

From everything we saw on the show and from producer posts, yes they got married.
