Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

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

I could have done without Kara getting an asshole curmudgeon boss. Unless she punches him a little next time he's an asshole.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize that Wally's going to go to Alchemy.

And it's not that I'm not enjoying Arrow, but literally every decision everyone made in that episode was terrible.

And really, are we going to spend the whole season hearing about how great the Bratva is and how their leadership techniques are the best?

And it's not that I'm not enjoying Arrow, but literally every decision everyone made in that episode was terrible.

But Ragman is fairly pretty, so there's that.

He is. And I love Curtis. I just had to marvel again last night that he's a gay, married, black, scientist Olympian. How many other gay black characters have there even been on network TV?

Okay, watching last night's Legends, and OMG they're going to let Victor Garber sing, aren't they!

Our wings are not tired.

and OMG they're going to let Victor Garber sing, aren't they!

I don't even watch Legends but I would tune in for that.

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

They did, and he was excellent. Even Field Marshall von Rundstedt was teary-eyed.

It's got to get better now that Sara is the leader of our gallant band and doing the voiceovers at the start of the episode. I still don't get Thawne's play here. Again, he's been one of those most vociferously against messing with the time line.

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

Definitely still not sucking.

It would be really nice if they'd have Rory come back, but with amnesia or a personality change or something, to take advantage of Arthur Darvill's charm.

Wait, is Rip Hunter gone? He and the Hawks were a big reason why I stopped watching.

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

He's not gone forever. No sign of the Hawks returning yet, but they did leave the possibility open.

And sorry, I should really not call Rip Hunter "Rory", since there's another actual Rory on the show.
