Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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

I haven't been watching Supergirl, but I watched tonight, and Kara and Barry were ADORBS and should be total BFFs.

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

Very true.

Do you like donuts?

Who doesn't like donuts?

I know a place.

Cat's comment about the CW was priceless. Also, Barry? Still revealing his identity to, like, everybody.

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

iZombie

Ah, the classic BLT.

I do feel cheated out of a scene of them snarfing down donuts and dorking out.

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, I could have totally stood for much more Kara and Barry hanging out and much less James being jealous about them hanging out.

ETA: I also could have stood to see some more of Barry and Winn geeking out together. That was great.

Flash:

Hurray for Pied Piper Heel-Face-Turn. Though if that's the only change Barry caused to the timeline, I'll be shocked.

Also, you're just going to trust that Thawne gave you the secrets on how to go faster and not how to inadvertently kill yourself?

I was confused for a second when Past!Barry showed up wearing the white emblem. I thought a third Barry from a screwed up future had come back to stop the second Barry, for a moment. (Though Wells' facepalm was fantastic.)

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

Oh man. This ep made me realize how much I have missed season 1 (Thawne-) Wells. Harry is interesting enough but it's not quite the same. That delicious tension between the team being in the dark and us knowing the truth about Wells -- it's really tough to top that.

Wells' face as Barry just blabbed all about time travel to the rest of the team! I haven't laughed so hard at this show in a long while.

Oh, yeah. Season 1 Thawne!Wells was so great.

This comment from TMS sums up my feelings about the crossover ep really well [link] :

Over the last few years I've had to read/watch stories about Cap V. Iron Man, Avengers V. X-Men, Batman V. Superman (-_-), and soon Cap V. Iron Man in Movies and then Iron Man V. Captain Marvel.

So can I just say how much I love this episode for having two heroes meet and work together to fight villains without any contrived forced conflict between them. I LOVE this episode for that.

Flash: Hi, I'm the Flash and I have super-speed.

Supergirl: Cool, I'm Supergirl and I'm an alien with awesome powers.

Flash: Cool!

Supergirl: Wanna help me fight super villains with cool powers.

Flash: TOTALLY!

From a Simpson's episode where Homer travels back to prehistoric times and steps on a bug...

Marge, can you pass me a donut?

Donut? What's a donut?

Barry makes so many bad decisions, but this ep really stands out on that score. And yet it all worked out, apparently. One of my favorite Farscape episodes was the one where they went back in time, broke something, and kept going back trying to fix the timeline, to find that it only kept getting worse.

Our wings are not tired.

I have a true love for timey wimey stuff.
