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

Well, yes, but he's on Supergirl next week.

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

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

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.

Yeah, that was great.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

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.

I couldn't follow that at all.

Sometimes he just wants to feel like a badass, is my theory.

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

Right???

Yeah. The Iris romance subplot (especially with her boss) was particularly problematic (especially right after the conversation about them being married in both the future and on Earth 2.)

Also, Wally wins for "most pointless appearance" in this episode.

Also, poor Caitlin can't catch a break. We finally discover she has a friend outside of Team Flash and then said friend goes crazy and dies.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The only way I can watch most shows is just not pay real close attention.

I think Wally was there to suggest initially that maybe the new speedster was Kid Flash. It is nice that they're including him.

and then said friend goes crazy and dies.

There's no body...
