Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Mal ,'War Stories'


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.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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

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

Do we think maybe he is in the iron mask? Would that make any sense?

That was my first thought, but the way the show's been going it's probably Earth-2 Eddie Thawne. And he's secretly a supervillain.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Do we think maybe he is in the iron mask? Would that make any sense?

I know Barry talked to his mom on the phone when he was on Earth-2, and his dad being missing surely would have come up.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

This is no doubt natter in the Boxed Set thread but after seeing "OMGWTF Polar Bear" here, my daughter and I have started using that phrase in texts to each other when we don't have time for the extended rant that a situation deserves - I've never before had a phrase that expressed exasperation so perfectly.

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

Harry: You are gonna get your speed back, Allen, and I'm gonna help you do that.

Barry: How?

Harry: By creating another particle accelerator explosion.

Barry: I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it!
