And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

I seem to remember Olier speaking Russian when negotiating with Russian mob in earlier seasons. But my memory is not to be trusted on shit like that.

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 think the question is when he learned Russian in the flashback timeline. He's definitely spoke it before in the current timeline.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'm 12 minutes into the premiere of Legends of Tomorrow, and it's not terrible? There have been funny moments?

I liked it and have hope.

Okay, Einstein just showed up, and that's not helping their case.

Yeah, that wasn't terrible. Sorry to say, I think it really benefited from the absence of Hawkpeople.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How could it not?

Agreed. And I think I like history dude.

So did the Supers just straight-up kill the two Metallos (granted, they had help, but still.)? I mean, Clark's dialogue implied his had just been knocked out/shut down, but the whole liquid metal pouring out of their mouths like blood thing seemed rather final.

Also, I'm not sure how Alex's exo-skeleton aided her ability to take a punch to the face from a super-powered cyborg.

I'm perturbed by the idea of Snapper Carr being a cranky, schlubby a-hole, or have things changed in the comics that I wasn't aware of?

I did enjoy the Kara/Cat scenes, though. And Clark and J'onn in the Fortress of Solitude.

"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

The last time I saw anything about him in comics, Snapper Carr had gone long-haired secret agent (Checkmate, I think?) and was getting it on with Cheetah.
