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.

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

I thought it was to a different Earth.

You are correct. I was trying to say that, but changed the way I was expressing it midsentence and never fixed the mistake (until now).

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

I just watched the Flash and yeah, huh?

I don;t watch Supergirl, so the Earth jumping thing didn't hit me, but I had no idea what they were going on about the time remnant Jay crap.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Wow, I love The Flash, but this show's mumbo is getting seriously jumbo'd. It's hard enough to keep a straight face when they portentously talk about SPEED FORCE, but now there's time remnants and wraiths and whatnots.

So I am confused...who the hell is Jay Garrick? I mean, original Jay Garrick? Did he ever exist on Earth 2, or was it just a sort of costume that Hunter Zolomon put on? Obviously I don't remember enough of the details from the beginning of the season.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yeah, because there was a flashback to him being Earth-2's Flash. So did he become the Flash AND Zoom? So confused.

All is well that ends in pizza.

After some research (querying "Orphan") it appears we do indeed discuss Orphan Black in Box Set.

Tatiana Maslany continues to be amazeballs.

Gosh, I didn't even notice the Apple product placement...

Yes. Zoom explained that he created the Flash persona to give people hope that he could then rip away as Zoom. Didn't explain why the remnant had no speed powers when on Earth I, although maybe the remnant figured that if he was going to die anyway, he may as well give Zoom his speed, too.

Really too stupid for words.

Oh, right, I *do* remember that now. What a weird-ass mess.

Fucking around with founding members of the Justice Society is a good way to lose me as a viewer forever, show.

So was the guy in the first half of the season always the remnant? (I ask, as if any of you guys really know.)
