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.

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.

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.

ETA: Lots of minor spoilers in there, but nothing you wouldn't know or probably figure out from the casting info if you follow that sort of thing.

So Atom is going to continue to be a cut-rate Iron Man, but he also shrinks. Also, I was right about him being mistaken for dead but he was shrunk instead.

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

So.

A quick fall into the Lazarus pit and Canary the Black becomes Canary the White?

Cool.

(In the things I never expected to do, I am typing this whilst proctoring my final exam. I had to watch with the sound muted so I missed what Captain Exposition was saying, so something to do when I get home. Next semester I need to remember to bring headphones to the final.)

Guys, this is yet another time when I miss ita, because her thread-nannying skills were top-notch, and she would know this: we can blackfont promos, but did we decide if that ncludes internet promos? If so, we can blackfont the Legends of Tomorrow promo.

Re: Oliver getting married, Felicity mentions in the car at the end that they should go somewhere they can get a Nanda Parbat marriage annulled.
