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

Yes. We should be seeing Ollie's adventures with the Bratva at this point, not more island crap.

We are being deprived of more Anatoly, which is bullshit.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Also wrt to both flash and arrow, did either make any references to the MAJOR EVENTS of the crossover ep? You know, the stuff that happened last week?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sounds like I picked the right evening to skip Arrow in favor of a nap.

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.

No. I can't think of a single mention of the crossover episodes. (And Harry was awfully spry for someone who just had a bullet pulled out of his chest, now that I think about it.)

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

Not buying their Felicity fakeout either, but OW MY OLICITY FEELS. It was not possible to drink enough for that.

(you know it's a OTP when the villains ship it)

Also, maybe what's-his-face on the island will send Oliver to Russia for punishment? (sell him to Russian slavers?) I dunno, I keep waiting for the island to have a damned point this season.

The Olicity feels in this ep were off the charts. The Olicity fandom is beside themselves.

When Ollie proposed, I said to Tim, "Oh my god, Tumblr is going to collapse under the weight of fandom." And then the shooting started. I haven't even looked at Tumblr since the episode aired.

My tumblr feed was MUCH more flaily about the scene where he rescued them because he lifted her out of the sealed box and her feet were dangling and that has been written in fics a ton. Ppl are obsessed with the height difference.

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

Doctor Who: I've been watching a First Doctor adventure, The Gunfighters. (They head back to Tombstone shortly before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the Doctor gets mistaken for Doc Holliday.) That leaves just one classic adventure I've never watched (leaving aside missing adventures). And of all those adventures, there have been a number I've not much enjoyed, or even actively disliked; but the Gunfighters is quite possibly the only one so far to have given me the screaming irrits. They keep stopping the action every three or four minutes for this musical voice-over, some appalling western tune they wrote specifically for the episode. Various lyric snippets, all of them completely annoying, and repeated multiple times during the adventure. Oh, and in case you weren't utterly sick of it on its own merits, the Doctor's companion gets to sing it repeatedly at the end of episode one. At gunpoint; I felt rather envious of him, his excuse for singing it was far better than mine for listening.

I would rather sit through a marathon of Little Drummer Boy, Twelve Days Of Christmas and It's A Small World After All than listen to the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon ever again.
