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.
Was it just me or was that OUAT finale even more ridiculous than the show normally is?
What is WRONG with superhero shows, man?
I hope Ollie and Barry form a support group. Or, one might say, a...LEAGUE.
But no, seriously, that was BULLSHIT but pretty obviously going to happen.
Yeah. On one hand, Jon and I called it. On the other, that was a pretty lousy way for them to kill him. Especially after having him meet Tina McGee.
Flash: Katie Cassidy was better as Black Siren than Earth 1's Laurel Lance.
Evil is easier to play. See also Brett Dalton.
Actually, I kinda liked later seasons Laurel. Once they got it out of their heads that she should be the female lead and made her more of a supporting player, she got better.
I think Katie Cassidy is better at playing confident rather than emotional turmoil. (See also Ruby 1.0 on Supernatural.) She got much better in the show once they figured out what do to with her character (and in-story Laurel figured out what to do with herself.)
I also have the suspicion that Black Siren got locked up in the Pipeline instead of Iron Heights so she can escape next season to cause chaos and heartbreak on Arrow (and lead to "Why didn't you tell us?!? accusations against Team Flash.) The CW loves its overwrought melodrama.
Arrow:
You'd think supervillains would learn not to build their evil lairs out of Explodium.
That was pretty ridiculous, even for this show.
