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 really wish Nicky had never been written into the show in the first place. Because the way he was written out pretty much guarantees that I'm going to feel no sympathy for Tyrol losing his imaginary daughter after fucking abandoning his REAL STILL ALIVE CHILD. Not his biologically, sure, but he was Nicky's parent for 2 years. He doesn't get to walk away from that and take any of my sympathy with him.
DH brought up the possibility that they could have left Nicky as a hybrid and have Boomer kidnap him in this ep instead of Hera. Would have taken away from Hera's special place in the universe, but wouldn't have had me thinking "Oh, fuck you Galen" during all of the projection sequences.
(Or they could have killed him off and handwaved some kind of hybrid's-don't-live-very-long-except-Hera-because-she's-special thing. Really, almost anything would have been better than the retcon they came up with.)
If Kara's dad was a Daniel, do we think Cavil sought out and killed all the existing models in addition to poisoning the replacements so they couldn't resurrect?
I think Cavil gives Hera to Simon to experiment on. He won't kill her right away until he understands what she is and how she came to be.
I think killing all of the replacements pretty much guarantees no resurrection. So, maybe there was only one viable Daniel. And he was Kara's father.
That still doesn't explain the hallucination Kara was seeing and interacting with.
Actually, my current working theory is that a surviving Daniel rebuilt Kara using the lab that Cavil mentioned 2 eps back, and so even if she wasn't originally a hybrid, she kind of is now. The "song my dad used to play for me" might have been implanted too - she's not the original Kara so who knows if those are her original memories?
How did Daniel get to the colonies? Weren't all the others deliberately placed?
Oh that would explain the vision!Dad. He put himself in her mind!
Cavill could have kept him on ice and inserted when he sent the others.
Boomer was REALLY insistent that Hera drink from the bottle as she hurried out of the nursery -- I'm supposing that it had sleepy stuff in it, to keep her quiet during loading.
But why would Cavill tolerate the existence of a model he hated so much? I thought the point was to eliminate all traces of him?
Would have taken away from Hera's special place in the universe, but wouldn't have had me thinking "Oh, fuck you Galen" during all of the projection sequences.
Yeah, I had that same problem. Perhaps I could buy it if they'd given him a few minutes of screen time justifying to himself how all the blows of his recent history made him unlikely to be an acceptable dad to anyone.
