Arrow:
You'd think supervillains would learn not to build their evil lairs out of Explodium.
That was pretty ridiculous, even for this show.
'Time Bomb'
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.

Especially if the whole plan is to drop nuclear bombs on the roof.
I loved the citizen going on about that he was down there to keep his family safe AFTER all the security types were running across his lawn firing submachine guns. It also reminded me of the Hank Scorpio episode of The Simpsons.
I don't care, though, because Neal McDonough has been single-handedly picking up this whole season and carrying it on his back for me.
I don't know who else here is watching both Arrow and The 100, but Digg explicitly mentioned the existence of a nuclear bunker called "Mount Weather" in last night's ep so... I guess they are trying to tell us the two shows exist in the same universe, albeit several hundred years apart?
No Mount Weather is a real thing, supposed to keep top government official safe in event of major natural or human made disaster including nuclear war.
!! I did not know that. I thought they were doing a sneaky crossover. *goes off to Google* Apparently it's in Virginia.
It's also the FEMA command center. It's pretty big.
All villains should build in a volcano, as per Limitless.
wait, JSA? Hourman?
Also, still on board for wibly wobly return of Cap Cold
Yeah, Hourman is cool, except for the part where the hour in his name has nothing to do with time travel.
Strange finale. Rip again plays the idiot, by trying to fly into the sun rather thn just doing what he eventually did. Liked the myriad ways of killing Savage, especially Rip's last little push of the knife into Savage's chest, but shouldn't killing him in three different times wipe out the destruction in 2160? Time travel makes my head hurt. Also, tying the meteors that created Savage and the Hawks to Thanagarian tech was weird. I was glad to see the Hawks pruned from the team before Hourman showed up.
Also, I think that was Sergeant Rock that Savage killed in 1944. He's the only GI I've ever seen with a helmet marked like that. Interesting way to send a clue to the future, and quite the amazing coincidence for Kendra to run into him. Was that helmet ever seen before on the Waverider, and if so why did Hunter have it?
