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.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

That's what I was figuring.

Is the show assuming we've forgotten about Tommy? He was oddly missing from several conversations in this episode (between Laurel and Oliver, and between Thea and Malcolm) where it seemed like he ought to be mentioned.

Now I have finished S4 of Teen Wolf and there are some things I need.

- a Stiles and Derek buddy cop story. no shipping, just like Lethal Weapon-esque more silly story.

- a Lydia and Stiles scene a la Summer and Seth from the OC and the Wonder Woman costume. This would have to be Lydia in a slave Leia costume, I think. (Stiles is so very much in the Seth oeuvre)

- In general I need more Tyler Hoechlin in my life

Me too. Also with being relieved it wasn't Diggle. (Or Lyla, which I worried about at the beginning until it was clear she wasn't in the episode.)

Poor Daddy Lance and Sara. Though if Legends of Tomorrow doesn't survive, Sara could come back to Arrow.
