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.

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

Okay, I may have yelped at the "Jordan" jacket in Coast City.

Me, too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

To be more accurate, I believe I exclaimed "They did NOT just do that!!!!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Not even entertaining whose grave that is. Nope nope nope. Or thinking about who Barry would care about enough to come to a funeral for. NOPE.

I'm going to make a totally without evidence guess that the grave is for the mother of Ollie's kid, and since she currently lives in Central City that Barry gets to know her too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm going to go with sj's theory, because I don't like any of the other possibilities.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Guys, I can only confess this here because it is wronger than wrong. I have SUCH a crush on Grant Gustin. He is young enough to be my kid, so it's odd--I usually go for a more mature type of fellow. I just, his smile and his earnestness and he loves to dance. I mean, I look up videos of him singing on Glee and stuff. I don't fantasize about him or anything, but I just really like looking at him.....

There, I've said it.

He's a serious cutiehead. No shame.

My guess on the grave is that it's cop daddy, because I don't think that his throwing in with Darhk is going to end well.

Which brings up why he would do it in the first place, and the only thing I can think of is that Darhk must have offered to bring Sara back from the dead.

What does it mean?

Not guessing on the grave. Just going to ignore that as long as I can.

And here is where I paste in all the notes I was taking as I was watching and not posting (because not caught up enough to be in here):

Gotham might have just got interesting. I am intrigued.

Also annoyed that Supergirl is going to be on opposite Gotham in my market. That’s hardly fair. Also a little weirded out that a CBS show is being advertised on The CW.

So Barry is short for Bartholomew? Huh. All the Barry’s I’ve known, it wasn’t short for anything, it was just their name.

Whoa, did not see that coming (the confession). Don’t think I understood how they beat Atom Smasher, either, but that’s okay.

Aw, man, do not like Daddy Allen leaving.

Whoa, Major Lilywhite! For real? I love this show. In fact, I forgot how much I enjoy coming home from work on Wednesday and watching the Flash and iZombie that I was too tired to watch the night before and just rolling on into Arrow. Works so well. Although tonight I am too tired to watch Arrow…must be more efficient with my TV watching next week…

And after work Thursday - Arrow time. I am delighted by happily coupled Oliver and Felicity. I hope it continues longer than I expect. Also glad to see Quentin looking like he’s in a better place, at least up until the rest of the city council gets killed.

I have loved Neal McDonough since Boomtown. This looks like a great part for him. Yay!

OK, this Guitar Hero thing is adorable.

Also digging the emphasis on Ollie’s identity, who he really is, etc. Always like a good exploration of identity.

OH NO! Goddammit show, why you gotta be like that?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OUAT has the most magical thing ever! A jukebox that plays Yaz! Please tell me Henry is about to get his new wave look on! Can't you just imagine him with a 1984 Howard Jones look?

Hal Jordan is one of the Green Lanterns; he's a pilot in Coast City. (For Ferris Air, which has been mentioned before.)
