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

Man, Vandal Savage is getting less and less interesting, and I just don't like the actor at all.

"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

The actor is the spitting image of a friend of mine who used to run Vampire games I played in, so I have just a little trouble taking him seriously as a ruthless master villain.

I got sucked into LOT again because I thought we'd find out exactly what happened to Rory. I think that we will see him again.

I wasn't thrilled with their manipulation of the prejudices of the time to suit their needs.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So, this week's The 100: didn't even show Lexa's death in the previews! (Although given the heat the show has gotten for that, perhaps that was judicious.)

I spent a fair amount of time yelling at Kane: he wasted all that effort, burned all those contacts, and failed in the end because he didn't want to hurt Bellamy? WTF, dude. Also, I don't get why he never made it clear to Pike how completely outnumbered they are. They can never beat "the Grounders" by force of arms. There are always more Grounders, all over the continent, and Skaikru has, what, 1200 people? If that? Madness.

That said, Raven! So awesome, Raven! And that in turn brought Jasper around. I was a little surprised that the B plot didn't intersect with the A plot, but I guess that's next week.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Once Upon a Time: Making hell a twisted version of Storybooke seems like a good move in terms of saving money on set design and construction.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OUAT: But I suspect that negotiations with some actors (playing deceased characters) may have been rather involved.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I spent most of last night's episode not trusting the Meg character just because of who was playing her.

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.

Supergirl:

Red Kryptonite already? I worry they're going to burn through all the iconic stuff too early. Still, I really enjoyed the episode. Melissa Benoist was awesome, as usual. She sold being a very different and darker Kara without going over into camp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm never not impressed by Melissa Benoist.

And I was not expecting that with Hank!!

Yeah. On one hand, this hopefully will eventuslly open the door to him operating openly as Martian Manhunter, but it's going to suck for him in interim.

I will say that one thing that occurred to me this morning (but didn't think about when I was watching) is I'm surprised they went with the "evil is more sexual" trope on the show. It seems counter to their usual objectives.
