Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

'War Stories'


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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

The guy they've got doing Hades on OuaT is doing a pretty good combination of smooth and menacing.

See, in my head, he's still the character he played on Ally McBeal, with a slight detour to Raising Hope. I get no menace from him.

Now if they'd just fercrissakes stop setting his hair on fire!

But they have to. In the cartoon version his hair was on perpetual fire, so they gotta call back to it.

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:

So J'onn and Alex on the run. Could be interesting.

I am amused that every DC show uses "Project Cadmus" as the name of whatever nefarious organization they need.

No clue why Siobahn thought doing the secret email thing at CatCo was going to work out any better the second time. Though now she apparently has superpowers. Not sure how super-screams are going to help her with her next email-related misdeed, though.

Woo, Flash next week!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Flash is back tomorrow.

Well, yes, but he's on Supergirl next week. I'm actually really looking forward to the crossover.

Wow, I completely missed your context. Sheesh. Definitely time to go to bed!

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Man, J'onn eating the Chocos made me bust out laughing.

Yeah, that was great.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Greg Germann is rather good at dickish smarm. I recently saw him playing up the DS on Limitless.

Flash:

That episode was kind of all over the place. It wasn't necessarily bad, it just felt like a grab-bag of plots thrown together.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The leap they took to go from V9 produces blue lightning to OMGWTFJAYISZOOM makes Barry's bridge leap look like a crack in the sidewalk. Also, I realize Barry has some mentor betrayal issues, but couldn't he have just opened the case to remove the helmet rather than scattering broken glass everywhere*. He didn't even dust off the last few pieces.

* Of course this just might be my chem lab instructor issues about broken glass coming through...

Iris should not be considering dating her boss (and vice versa).

Nice Detective Green reference tonight.
