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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Barry taking the good Pied Piper in stride reminded me of the wisdom of Jack O'Neill.

Carter: "...Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"

"Close enough"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Curtis Holt is PURE GOLD.

Agreed. Best part of the episode.

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

The episode felt light in many ways which I liked. Curtis is fun.

It will do nothing to stop the frenzy in the fandom of Felicty love/hate and Laurel love/hate.

I just watched last night's Flash, and MAN, I missed Thawne!Wells. And Eddie!

HMOG, Barry is SO BAD at time travel.
