'Objects In Space'


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.

Harry has never really been one to think things through.

That would be a weird, awkward jump from just Barry to 3 speedsters.

Once Zoom is defeated, Cisco can send Jesse and Harry back to Earth II, so there'll only be two, as god intended.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yeah, so if Arrow and The Flash could get their damn schedules in sync, we wouldn't have had Barry running off at Flash speed at the end of the episode. (Not that anyone ever really doubted he would get his speed back, but still.)

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

yeah, that is starting to bug that they can't do it any season.

BUT I will say, they made things tough on themselves by doing this flashforward thing this season before having the whole season plotted out. It put them in a corner. They had to fit Barry in (really made no sense and added ZERO to the ep) and had to have Felicity REALLY mad in the limo (which IMO did not fit with her mood of the rest of the ep). I thought this ep had good performances, but was a mess.

Totally agree.

The tone change in the limo was strange, especially after Ollie (and Felicity to some extent) talked John out of doing essentially what they're now trying to figure out how to do.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There can be only two?

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

Orphan Black: The Hendrixes exhuming the gross decaying body of Leekie was some high comedy gold, yo.

Talking about looking away: the Robo-Maggot cheek implant thing is clearly gonna be a major plot thread this season, and while the concept of body horror is theoretically interesting, I am just beset by visceral OH MY GOD NOOOO every time they show the thing. *full body shudder*

I am unhappy with Felix and Sarah being at odds. Woe.

Always two there are, no more, no less--a master and an apprentice.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, the DH and I both went "what the" when Barry ran off at super speed. I am just not into Arrow very much anymore. I like the cast and am THRILLED that Laurel is dead, but I dunno, not feeling it.
