The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Buffy ,'First Date'


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

HMOG, Barry is SO BAD at time travel.

Right? He immediately does everything you're not supposed to do. I'm seriously amazed the timeline wasn't more fucked up when he returned.

To be fair, we really don't know what else might be messed up. Though it would have to be pretty bad to counterbalance Hartley being on the team now.

Did Captain Cold just freeze his own hand off????

WHAT THE SHIT.

Okay, you know what? I'm disappointed that there were no consequences to that.

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.

Some catch-up.

1) As long villain of the week on Arrow was Cupid, it is a pity they did not take the opportunity to have someone say "OK, Cupid".

2) After all the torturous flashbacks on Arrow, they pulled Vixen out their ass their ass with no foreshadowing?

3) The Magicians: Julia seems to me mostly well-intentioned, in spite of almost killing Quentin. Her main character flaw appears to be low sales resistance. Quentin, on the other hand, looks to me like a total dick. Also, is Poole really The Beast? It occurred to me that a grown-up Matin having been subject to years of abuse, brainwashing, magical education, and being the subject of magical experimentation could end up being The Beast.

4) Grimm. I wanted to get my Kittens down before the big reveal. The "stick of wood" is a fragment of the true cross. Fits with being hidden by crusaders in a church. Plus it has healing powers - which is probably only one of its features. Wand that heals, raises the dead, supplies feasts to multitudes,water to wine, plus selective destruction of plant life.

5) Non-spolierly on Lucifer (in case it belongs more in Procedurals). Show is getting very preachy. The religion being preached is Hollywood's One True Religion: Therapy.

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

I didn't have a problem with it. First off, Cold didn't know there would be no consequences, so go him. Also, if Phil Coulson can be running around with a robot hand, think of the robot hand Ray could've built for Cold.

I was totally surprised by the Mick/Chronos reveal. Time travel is really complicated.

Me, too.

I wasn't a huge fan of Matt Nable in Arrow, but I did like his reaction to Stein and Jackson becoming Firestorm.

I'm pretty sure that if a show involves actual angels, demons, and Satan himself, it belongs in here.

I like the show way more than I thought I would after the pilot. My only concern is less about the therapy, than the fact that we seem to be veering towards a devil with a heart of gold.
