Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

But just plain old force is a vector.

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

But forces are vectors!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I love all of you.

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

So, we have a scalar vector and a vector vector, Victor?

Barry in jail intrigues me the most.

Is Barry in jail, or just visiting his dad?

In the Speed Force glimpse, he was handcuffed. I had to pause it to be sure he wasn't visiting his dad.

Okay, I didn't see the cuffs.

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

Wow! I just watched on Hulu. the biggest wtf for me was why future Barry waived past Barry off and he let his mother die.

I still don't quite get that, but then we wouldn't keep things in the present the same. The helmet is the other wtf? How? Why? What?

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.

Thanks for the list, msbelle.

Yeah, Barry in jail is the most interesting. Flash Museum is a nice Easter Egg but I'm good with them getting around to it whenever. I do like them keeping the fact that the Flash is involved in and beloved by his community with this show (or at least actively working toward it.) As much as I'm still enjoying Arrow, I hadn't realized just how sick I was of "dark and gritty" superheroes until this show started and was actually fun. (I mean, I knew I was getting tired of all the bleak and brooding, just not the degree.)

Word on the street is that Arrow is going to lighten up next season, also.
