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.

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.

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

I'm assuming the season is going to end with Ollie as mayor, because they wouldn't have dropped in that comment about him getting some ridiculously high percentage of write-in votes a few episodes back if they weren't going to kill off Mayor Mrs. Darhk and shove Ollie into the mayoral office. So that might make next season interesting. Plus next season's flashbacks HAVE to involve Russia, and that's got to be more interesting than this season's flashbacks (which I've pretty much stopped watching).

It's not like anyone really thought the title character of The Flash would be without his speed for too long, but they could at least TRY to respect spoilers, you know?

No comments on just how dark The 100 is going? cause, Damn!

Just watching it tonight... only partway through, and I'm intrigued by the flashbacks.

OK, yeah, that was hella dark.
I am darkly amused that Jaha knows his people: he gets Abby to take the chip by threatening one of her patients, and gets Kane to take it by threatening Abby. I don't quite get the function of crucifying Kane in public -- everyone there has already taken the chip.
Pike + Indra + Murphy will be an unbeatable team, if they can keep from knifing each other for twenty minutes at a time.
I do begin to wonder what's so special about Raven, that she's the only one who ever managed to fight off ALIE even a little.
And what the hell is going on with Raven and Monty? Are they ok?
Of course Luna rejected the flame: it's why she left. But I love her digs! So cool.

Didn't Clarke ask her something about Finn, which made her realize she was missing memories? At this point, with a critical mass of people infected, there's no one around who is asking those questions.
But yeah, the answer is probably "Because we needed Raven for plot reasons."

Man, they are telegraphing Wally becoming Kid Flash SO HARD.
And, okay, Wally and Jesse are in the secret room together, so it would be pretty easy for them to get zapped with the Speed Force in one fell swoop.

So, we just got Kid Flash and Jesse Quick, right?
And Cisco is THE BEST.
Also, how damn far apart are the timelines of Arrow and The Flash? Because Barry had his speed back at the end of last week's Arrow. (I know, the problem is actually that the show tried to be clever by filming that "6 months from now" clip and then they had to live with it. Still, y'all done messed up real good.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We were all wondering how Wally gets his powers (not to mention Jesse Quick), Now we know.
Ha! Nailed it!
Of course, it was so obvious to anyone who reads the comics that Inspector Clouseau could've figured it out.
Henry's mother's maiden name was Garrick. That has to be a clue, right?

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.
DC can't keep any of their shows in-synch. Remember Barry disappeared to (and returned from) his adventures with Supergirl after they already happened on the latter show.
I agree that being tied to the flash-forwards made for some weird personality shifts on Arrow last week. But yeah, I can only assume last week's episode of Arrow takes place after Barry gets back from Speed Purgatory (or where ever he got zapped to) next week.
