It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

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

Cat does know that Hank can shape shift now, right? She may have figured it out again. I hope so.

I really liked James and Kara as a couple, but otherwise I really liked this episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was looking forward to that cuteness too; it was sort of abrupt to immediately back off that but that does imply, as mentioned above, that the new Kryptonian might be a love interest.

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

It was very abrupt and Kara's explaination makes very little sense considering last season and how little time passed from the finale to the premiere.

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

(skipping forward again)

OMG, Joe Flanigan on Fringe! It's like the Vegas AU, but less nihilistic.

...and he's dead before the teaser's over. Whoops. Poor Flan.

Right? She hasn't had nearly enough time to flip-flop that hard, especially if they've barely had one proper date.

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

Arrow: Why is Grumpy!Oliver so enjoyable? Love it.

God bless the salmon ladder, AMEN.

I actually rewound and went back to her conversation with Clark to make sure I hadn't missed some key point when they were discussing the meaning of life, etc. It was odd.

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

OMG, Joe Flanigan on Fringe!

I know! and then he's dead. damn. He needs to be in more shows I watch.

It was very abrupt and Kara's explaination makes very little sense considering last season and how little time passed from the finale to the premiere.

Yes, that bugged.

God bless the salmon ladder, AMEN.

and in a suit!

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.

Liked the second episodes of Flash and Arrow much better than the first.

Oliver trusting the new recruits with his secret seemed foolish (I don't care what Felicity says. And speaking of needing to tone down the lipstick...)

So I haven't watched Legends of Tomorrow since I gave up on it very early in season 1 but I gave it another try tonight. I think I might have actually enjoyed it? Also, hello, Eobard. Wasn't expecting that (though I suppose I should have.)

ETA: I think a big reason for enjoying it more is the Hawks were gone, as was that pathetic excuse for Vandal Savage. The lack of Captain Cold sucked, though.
