Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

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.

Well, Hoechlin does have fairly prominent canines even without the prosthetic werewolf fangs...

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

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

That made me snicker.

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

Predictions: Wally dies instead of Iris, and, therefore, Barry gave up his perfect future for nothing. Also, I predict Barry will do something stupid to avoid Iris dying (but that is too easy of a guess). Regardless, I think this was the best episode of The Flash all season.

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

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

OMG! I immediately thought of Harry Potter when they mentioned the stone, but totally missed that it was Draco doing the telling.

Plus we got the Earth-3 Trickster.

OTOH, the computer-generatedness of some of the effects, especially while Jay was getting whomped on by Savitar, was really obvious.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

But they're going to overdub it for the Commonwealth market to make it the Sorcerer's Stone.

Who was very Joker-esque, which I assumed was a tip of the hat to Mark Hamill.

Oh man, it looked like a Poser animation!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've missed so much, I have very little idea of what's going on. I usually don't get to tune in until 8:30 or so, so I just watch the pretty colors. And Cisco.

And I don't know if anyone else reads Sherrilyn Kenyon, but one of the characters in her Dark Hunter series is named Savitar ... he's kind of omnipotent, omniscient, immortal ... with a bit of a temper and a fondness for surfing.

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

Oh, Barry, why do you even bother to wear a mask? I know you're a good guy and you're empathetic, but maybe don't give away your secret identity and the identities of everyone who works with you to a guy with an evil god thing in his head?

Arrow: What?
