'A Hole in the World'


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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And I'm going to miss Arrow in real time until mid-November because of class. Boo. (Except yay, because I love my class.)

Definitely watching Flash tonight, though.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ya know, despite the stupidity that got them there, it was fun seeing the characters in their Flashpoint-verse personas for an episode. And then when Barry once again has an Edith Keeler moment, it all gets reversed with an even stupider and more annoying side effect. Bother.

Reverse Flash killing Barry's mom has turned into Bruce Wayne's parents getting gunned down in that alley: it no longer has any emotional impact on me. None. Which is sad, considering how well it was used in the S1 finale.

They really need to stop going to that well. I was tired of it last season, but now it makes me roll my eyes. We get it, showrunners. Reverse Flash killed Barry's mom and that's horrible, but...move the fuck on.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

At this point they should have Mandy Patinkin dress up as Inigo Montoya and tell Barry that sometimes you just have to let things go.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I just started watching this season of Fear: The Walking Dead, and I still can't figure out why the writers and producers thought we wanted a spin off about angsty teenagers.

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.

I was kind of "meh" about both the Flash and Arrow premieres. Yay, let's come up with another ridiculous way to keep Barry and Iris apart.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Oh my gosh Arrow. I screamed Anatoly's name in glee multiple times. I am so fired up for the flashbacks this season!

Also, it should not be so hot to watch Amell fight brutally. I am a terrible person.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm with you, Kalshane. The only part I found enjoyable was Tyresse from the Walking Dead and a very unsubtle Walking Dead reference.

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

liked The Flash more than I thought I would.

was underwhelmed by Arrow even though I know the fight scenes were badass. I do have hope for where things are going though.

I was underwhelmed by Arrow too, other than my eternal love for Cop Daddy and HELL YES ANATOLY. The entire season will be worth it as long as he's in the flashbacks.
