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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Far as I can make out, all the spiders are either going to starve or suffocate (or start feeding on each other).

Yeah, I was thinking that too - herding all the babies into a tiny locked room to die of starvation and/or cannibalism seems like a great way to make sure there's one massive VERY ANGRY spider left at the end of the season.

One thing about the "Are you Ed Sheeran?" bit - I'd have to assume that if Not!Trump did eventually become President the Doctor would have recognized him, so HA. No White House for you, Noth.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm actually loving where Legends seems to be going ... do you suppose there's going to be an episode with the Tooth Fairy?

I'm way behind on Black Lightning, but I just finished episode 1, and I have to say that I love that Tobias Whale kills people using a harpoon?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did not fully make that connection. What a great detail!

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

...I did not get that.

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

I would love for that to happen, but they've been talking about doing that series for a very long time. Until I see a trailer, I remain sceptical.

That said, I wonder who they'll get to play Vimes.

I wonder who they'll get to play Vimes.

I wonder who they'll get to play the Patrician. Alas, that Alan Rickman is no longer with us.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

> to play the Patrician

I nominate Peter Capaldi.

Pratchett had views on who should play some of the characters. The Patrician's description was based on Jeremy Irons (who played him in The Colour of Money). Charles Dance was very good as the Patrician in the adaptation of Going Postal.

He also envisioned Pete Postlethwaite as Vimes, but alas Pete is also gone.
