Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'


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.

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.

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

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?

Yes, we are. I am married to a completist.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

S1 picks up considerably around episode 4 or 5.

You will laugh at the flashback wigs. They will never get better.

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

I thought the show started off slow, but then there is more Felicity and everything gets better.

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

Enjoy the salmon ladder! Savor it, we haven't seen it in a while.

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

Anybody else notice the money on Minority Report? I think they have Obama on them.

Who, Me?

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.

Especially given that, unless he's moving to a different continent, Barry can run over to visit almost as easily as if he'd stayed in the city.

I have head cannon that Barry used to regularly drop by Felicity's place and they'd eat pizza and commiserate on their odd lives.
