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.

Also not a fan of the whole Rip has been an idiot because the Time Masters were manipulating him thread, because I'm pretty sure that Rip could've been just as big an idiot without the extra help.

Ha! That's what I said.

I hope this means we can get a Supergirl-Flash crossover that gives us Calista Flockhart and Jesse L. Martin together.

Oh, that would be fabulous.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Flash: no one else noticed the whole Cisco/Harry team up with them finishing each others sentences and Plan H?

LoT: If Snart is gone, I've lost one reason to keep watching. I'd have rather lost Rip, since Sara can pilot the ship now.

Caught up with The 100. WOAH. Harper, no! Also, it was touch-and-go there whether O was going to knife Pike, regardless of what Indra said. Still "The dead can't help us," is pretty good advice.

Damn, ALIE is cold. Abby doing that, in front of Clarke. Holy crap.

It's hard to believe they won't find a solve here, but I'm not sure how. Last-minute transfusion from Ontari to Clarke, so Clarke can take the Flame? Clarke removes ALIE from her mother & Abby performs brain surgery on Ontari so Ontari can take it? And in either event, will Harper survive with Jasper out there threatening her life?

They'll need to kill Jaha, or blindfold him & stuff his ears so he can't hear what's going on.

Yikes! This show is as rough as GOT, I suspect, in its own special non-rapey way.

Unless they find a way around it...Time Lords Masters always find ways.

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

The 100:

I don't know why they didn't start by threatening Abby. Maybe because ALIE would rather not kill a doctor if she doesn't have to.

Also, Abby is the the biggest wrench they can use on Clarke: better to start with the smallest one first. Once they've used Abby, they have no more wrenches.

I'm catching up on Legends of Tomorrow, and the overall plot literally does not make sense. Admittedly, I'm not paying super-close attention, but there is no reason for these people to make some of the decisions they do.

Legends of Tomorrow's premise: "Pretty people making a hot mess of everything they do."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Surely by now they've fucked up the timeline worse than Homer Simpson did in that one Treehouse of Horror episode.
