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.
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 was wondering the same thing. Plus, I'm ready for more Anatoly.
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.
I think there was no way to contain Atom Smasher, so there was no choice but to kill him.
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?

You're starting from the beginning?
Yes, we are. I am married to a completist.
S1 picks up considerably around episode 4 or 5.
You will laugh at the flashback wigs. They will never get better.
