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

Odds on Draco being connected to Doctor Alchemy?

Tim thinks Draco *is* Doctor Alchemy, and I thought that was too freaking obvious, but then Dr. Wells was actually Reverse Flash and Jay Garrick was Zoom, so...this show does love the obvious.

I would really like them to stop being super obvious villian show.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

God bless the salmon ladder, AMEN.

If they've brought back the salmon ladder, I might go back to Arrow.

The Flash recently ... obviously, he never read The Lathe of Heaven and learned that once you break something you can't put it back.

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.

At least if Draco is Dr. Alchemy Barry won't have the "betrayed by a mentor" thing happen yet again.

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

Yeah, Steph, that was pretty much my whole thought process.

Meanwhile, on Arrow, has someone put the montage of Oliver kicking the shit out of the newbies to the speech from Fame? [link]

And when did Oliver learn to speak Russian? I mean, I know the answer, as with all things, is probably "on the island."

It must be the same place where Thea learned to be a mayor's...aide? Chief of staff?

Ollie, the Bratva training methods led to them shooting everyone who wasn't you. So...why did you decidedto use them on your new recruits?

(I really like the way Berlanti integrates bits and pieces from previous DC iterations into the new shows, both here and in Supergirl.)

DX, you know who Berlanti cast as POTUS in Supergirl, right?

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

Runs and checks IMDb...

Well I do now. That's pretty cool.

Because Ollie is the king of bad decision making?
