I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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

OK, the trailer/ad/whatever for The Expanse I just saw was pretty convincing. Do I want to start reading the books before the [what is it a miniseries?] starts?

Of course, I am just now getting to The Martian and my To Be Read piles are ridiculous, but still, it's a possibility.

Pandora in glasses is caliente.

She totally reminds me of Audrey from Twin Peaks.

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

but everything about Betsy's voice and body language just screams 21st century.

Yeah. I want to like the idea of her, but this dynamic undercuts the flashbacks.

I like that Pandora seems to be a bit chameleon-like.

I think, from the perspective of the showrunners, we're supposed to forget Katrina ever happened.

Not a problem. I was in denial when it was happening, so this works for me.

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.

Finally caught up on Flash and Arrow.

I'm hoping the producers of Arrow aren't dumb enough to kill off another popular character to try force things to be "like the comics" but I'm afraid they are.

If Flashback!Ollie is back on the island, when does he get a chance to learn Russian and join the Bratva? Or is he going to get off and then stuck on it yet again in time to be rescued for pilot episode. Which would be really silly.

As for Flash, them straight up killing Atom Smasher seemed really out of character. And Barry's dad deciding to immediately leave town after getting out of prison felt more like an actor/budget thing than any remotely logical story beat.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was wondering the same thing. Plus, I'm ready for more Anatoly.

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

well we have this year and next year for flashbacks, yes?

Flash issues for me are still the killing of Atom Smasher, the lack of reaction from the team to the killing, Henry bolting out of nowhere, and generally Cisco not being in every scene (ok not the last one really).

Arrow issues for me - the dialogue in bed from Felicity about the tattoo removal was so clunky and non-realistic it took me completely out of the scene, Laurel calling the team into action from her phone in a public place with no attempt at secrecy and that having no consequences, the new team (sans Arrow) seemingly killing people in that opening fight thing (Diggle is shooting a gun, yes?). There was something else that I thought was lazy writing.

oh and Laurel not being dead yet continue to bug.

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

I think there was no way to contain Atom Smasher, so there was no choice but to kill him.

Kalshane - Oct 12, 2015 7:24:16 am PDT #28451 of 30001

Digg's been shooting people in the field from day one. It's always been incongruous with the rest of the team, but it's even more so now that he's in costume.

We JUST started watching Arrow. Like, last night (I know, what took so long?). Since we are already Flash fans and know bits of the story from that, there is some adjusting. Anything I should know as we take this angsty journey?

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

You're starting from the beginning?
