Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

I'm starting to wonder if that was the reason behind his awkward exit. If Jay or Wells encountered Henry they'd kind of have to mention he was Zoom on their world. (Well, assuming they know who Zoom is. I think Wells does, at least.)

Henry is a great guess- I am leaning to thinking it is him, but could it also be Joe?

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Arrow: I keep worrying (because I do watch TV, y'all) that they're going to do something annoying with Oliver/Felicity. But their relationship is so healthy and grown up. YAY.

And shout-out to that scene with Diggle and Oliver. That's how you BROTP!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The 'ship name for Felicity's mom and Quentin Lance is SmoakNLance. That's actually awesome.

Compassionately intolerant

Arrow: Not to be all...whatever...but while I appreciate hiding behind a table or a wall, what would make Sarah think that hiding behind a comfy couch would stop automatic weapons fire?

People have been using Smoakin' [Whatever] for a while for a lot of ships involving Felicity. (And, oddly, the other person in those is almost always named by their superhero name or by some other identifying characteristic, rather than by their actual name, even though actual names are used in most of the other ship names. Smoakin Canary was a thing for a while, for Felicity/Sara. Someone was trying to get Laulicity to trend a few weeks ago, but aside from nobody actually shipping them, that's just impossible to say.)

That makes sense. I only just saw it today on Paul Blackthorne's Instagram account.

Now I'm wondering why and how the convention got started that Smoakin' generally goes with superhero names, rather than regular names. I think that Lance is the only time I've seen it used with an actual name, and even there, it's his last name. Internet language is neat. (It even gets used in ways that don't really make much sense -- I saw something labeled "Smoakin' Driver" and it took me forever to figure out that the "Driver" part of that was Diggle. Who doesn't have a code name. But apparently, the "Don't use Smoakin' with first names" thing was strong enough that he needed some other name in order to get a pairing name.) (Even though Diggle is his last name.) (Here endeth the abuse of parentheses.)

Diggle. Who doesn't have a code name.

Felicity called him "Spartan" last night. I don't know if that's meant to stick, or not.

I'm also waiting for her to be called "Oracle." She said, several episodes back, that she thought she deserved a code name, too, and I was SO READY for someone to say "Oracle." But I guess it has to happen organically.
