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.

Okay, I'm counting Constantine telling Ollie to lift up his shirt and then putting his hand on his naked torso as hitting on him. Because, dang it, that's as close to canonically bisexual John Constantine as the networks are going to give us. #headcanon

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Before the episode aired, I was kind of scratching my head wondering just how Constantine would end up owing Ollie a favor. I mean, there are LOTS of people that Constantine owes favors to, but I wasn't sure how Ollie would fit in. I'm glad they showed it, even if it was more than a little contrived.

I wonder what the characters in the tattoo mean. I saw something a while ago written by someone who (supposedly) knew how to read the Chinese characters, and she said that the first two were animals, corresponding to the first two years that Oliver was on the island, and the second two weren't quite anything, but she could sort of come up with a way to make them mean Shado and Yao Fei.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is there a picture online of the tattoo? I could ask Biyi.

This is the clearest image I found from a quick Google, but it's still kind of fuzzy. [link]

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

It's a magical place.

I asked Biyi. That picture has been reversed, so the characters are all mirror images. They're traditional characters rather than simplified. (I think that may make a difference only in the last character.) She believes they are:
鼠 姜 姚 猪
In pinyin: shŭ jiāng yáo zhū, which means "Rat Ginger Elegant Pig". The third character, though, is more commonly encountered as a surname.
