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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Whoa.

So, any theories on what Laurel wanted Oliver to promise her?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I sort of wonder if they faked her death, only because of the cut away so we didn't actually see Laurel go from talking to seizure.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

WTF? Arrow?

nope, not faked. EW has SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT WATCHED articles up. [link]

I could not be happier about that choice.

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

I've heard rumours about it being Laurel in that grave and was like "pffts, no way." I mean, they went into all that drama with Sara's death last year to motivate Laurel's transformation into Black Canary and barely a year out, that's it?

Laurel's grown on me quite a bit this season and I thought Katie Cassidy did a lovely job with rather creaky writing, but emotionally, I'm not sure how to feel. Mostly I was worried that it was gonna be Diggle and was relieved it wasn't him.

My money was on Diggle or Cop Daddy, leaning slightly toward Cop Daddy. I'm really surprised.

Shipping side of the fandom will probably be insufferable for a while. I'm kinda glad that I quit being actively fannish about the show this season.

Tiana said something about Oliver going to Russia in one of the flashback scenes (maaaan, how boring and pointless have those been?) Maybe we will have Anatoli next season? I can't believe I ever complained about Hong Kong flashbacks. Compared to this year's, they were a miracle of dynamic acting and storyline.

I said the same damn thing to Tim.

Oh, right -- maybe she gets killed and he goes to Russia to tell her family and runs into Anatoli and manages to learn Russian and become a General in the Bratva.
