Anya ,'Empty Places'


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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, that's certainly a different take as well.

I only (vaguely) remember him as Justice League sidekick and then, later, a sometime mentor to Young Justice. (And then there were the animated versions on JL/JLU and Young Justice who were a TV reporter and teacher, respectively.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Worked out to Arrow and saw they had the Rag Man. The Rag Man went through a bunch of versions in comics, starting as non-superpowered. But one particular supernatural version always sticks with me, one that in my opinion the most horrifying source of super-powers for a non-villain ever. Show's version seems to come from a collision between something along the shroud of Turin and a nuclear blast. But since the exact nature of the "cloth" has not yet been revealed, other than being supernatural in some way, it is still possible that Show will go to that dark and scary place. After all, Show *likes* dark and scary places. I won't say more so as not to spoil in case in happens. But I'm really hoping they go with the ultra-scary-ass Rag Man, even though I don't trust them to handle him properly. Since I'm probably one of the least Geeky people on this board when it comes to comics (perhaps excluding some of those just not into comics books) I'm betting a bunch of people know exactly what I'm talking about.

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

Just finished the premiere of Legends, and that was actually kind of good. Sara was much better. So are we done with not!Rory, or will he be back? Also, is all of this Barry's fault?

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

Flash

Wally, Wally, Wally, do not emulate Barry's decision making techniques. Good to see Harry again. Interesting that timelines are tied to a specific Earth, which means Supergirl was unaffected.

Loved Jesse Quick.
