'Out Of Gas'


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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Is this the episode that the grave scene from the first episode will be in?

I don't think so, because the text on screen said "Six months later," and we haven't hit that point yet.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The promo for the ep tonight flashed on Felicity's face at "...blah blah, beneath the body of your loved ones", like, I SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, PROMO MONKEYS

I thought the Flash ep was a bit too "let's get all the chess pieces in line for the spin-off!" but enjoyed it nonetheless. I'm not too keen on the Vandal Savage actor though.

Compassionately intolerant

I loved the Flash opening with McDonough. He's so everything.

But my favorite part of the whole episode was Felicity. "Make good decisions!"

eta: I had some pretty unwholesome thoughts about Cisco this episode. Which echoed the episode. "That's new."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's really not going to end up going well for Oliver.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I so wish Malcolm had used a Dustbuster.

Also, I was confused about the mother's name, so I looked it up -- when she was on the show before, she wasn't given a name on screen, but she was listed as Sandra Hawke in IMDB. But in this episode, she was Samantha Clayton. (I'd thought that they'd actually called her Sandra on screen before, so the Samantha confused me. So now I'm wondering where they're going with this, that they didn't want to use known characters.)

I didn't think it was bad, but it wasn't as good as the first part.

Seriously. Ollie, look at your life, look at your choices.

I actually said, "Where's the vacuum cleaner?"

I don't like Hawkman at all. Meh.

I wish Malcolm was dead, now there is something ELSE tying him to not one but TWO shows.

The lie feels out of character for Oliver now, I hate it.

I don't like time travel being brought into Arrow.

I don't buy Damien not knowing about The Flash.

I knew they would bring back the kid at some point, but it is not as if they have given us super sappy couple Oliver/Felicity that they need to throw it in there now to screw things up - create that drama and tension blah blah.

They want to throw so much in ALL THE FUCKING TIME on this show. Give it a second. It feels sloppy, sloppier than normal.

At least there were no island flashbacks.
