My fave line was "The other Doctor Wells was evil but you're just a dick," especially the great line reading.
Seriously, AWESOME.
Lots of fun chemistry between Barry and Patty, I thought.
I am totally on board that ship.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

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.
Such a fun episode with the Harry and Cisco snark, plus Barry's date (as ridiculous as him not just leading with the "I got my eyes dilated." excuse was.)
Others pointed out there was a nice Supes vs Lex vibe with Jay and Wells.
I'm not really sure what Dr. Light's plan for killing her counterpart was. I mean, it originally sounded like she wanted to assume Linda's identity to escape from Zoom, but that's a little tough to do if you kill the person in front of a bunch of witness.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Dr. Light originally wanted everyone to leave the building except Linda Park. As long as she doesn't take off her mask, and if she has the ability to fry a body beyond recognition, then while not a great plan, it could conceivably work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to go to Wizard World Louisville. On the plus side: practically the entire cast of Arrow will be there. On the minus side: I'm going to be working a 16 hour day on Friday, and all of the Arrow panels are on Saturday. Feh.

I apparently forgot that part. Still not the best plan (probably way easier to just ambush her on her way home or something) and her deciding to try to kill her anyway once people refused to do as she asked kind of ruined it, but at least she put some forethought into it.

Arrow:
I am mildly disappointed that in an episode in which Lance meets John Constantine they didn't do some sort of Dresden Files reference (since Paul Blackthorne played the titular character on that show.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, maybe a hockey stick leaning against the wall in a corner of his office.
It's weird. Early in the first season the fact that Lance had once been Harry Dresden would occasionally take me out of the show. Now, I completely missed the connection, even though I even thought to myself during the episode that Lance seemed surprisingly comfortable with trappings of the spell.

When I was sick a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to check out the Dresden Files show (thank you, Hulu). I could only watch about 15 minutes of the episode. I like Paul Blackthorne a lot, but it was just...not the world I envisioned when reading the books. And the way Bob was portrayed was not remotely close to what I envisioned.

Yeah, Blackthorne was one of the few bright spots on the show. They threw out a lot of the mythology that make the books great in favor of generic Hollywood monsters. Also, the idea that TV!Harry advertises himself as a wizard but then constantly tries to tell people that the supernatural doesn't really exist was really stupid. (I also hated the hockey stick and drumstick in place of his staff and blasting rod.)
TV!Bob I actually liked a lot. He wasn't much like book! Bob, but I loved Terrence Mann's performance and thought it was an excellent way of getting around how cheesy a talking skull would look on a TV budget.
I know the TV rights have reverted back to Jim Butcher, so hopefully someone like HBO will pick them up and make a true-to-the-books show at some point.
ETA: Although I just realized that HBO would likely want to do the opening murder scene in all its gory detail, which I have no desire to see, so maybe someone else would be better.

The...what now? Clearly I didn't even get that far. That's really a sad substitution.
