'The Train Job'


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

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...

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

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.)

Ya see, there's this smoke monster and a hatch...

So much this.

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.

I'm also very perturbed they decided that "Barry's mentor is secretly the big bad" needed to be done two seasons in a row.

I'm really hoping the man in the iron mask is the real Jay Garrick.

Me too. So boring. Also, I thought they were going to do something with Barry's dad to explain his hasty exit.

Apparently after years of being locked up, spending some time with his son after release just wasn't a priority.
