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.

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.

I thought the episode established that Prometheus was the son of the man Ollie killed in the flashbacks (or at least established that Team Arrow thinks it's him.)

I do wonder how Prometheus managed to figure out how Ollie was trained and follow in his footsteps.

Of course, with the Russian connection, they seemed to linger on the bottle of Russian vodka Ollie's reporter girlfriend poured for him long enough to make me think something is up with her.

Also, are my ears correct in telling me that Michael Dorn is voicing Prometheus?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Of course, with the Russian connection, they seemed to linger on the bottle of Russian vodka Ollie's reporter girlfriend poured for him long enough to make me think something is up with her.

Yeah, remember a few episodes back, one of her connections gave her a photo of Ollie in Russia from 5 years ago, so now she knows he wasn't on the island the whole time. Whatever she's doing, she's playing a long con there.

That's so incredibly boring that surely it's not true. It has virtually no impact on the viewers if it's some heretofore-unmentioned illegitimate son of a pharma company owner from a fake flashback.

Felicity did say that someone came back from the dead almost every Wednesday.

This is so gonna jerk around Quentin (some more). I mean, enough with Schrodinger's daughters already!

Yikes, seriously. It's like, good news! Laurel came back while you were in rehab! Bad news, she died again before you got out.

I'm with those who aren't convinced this is actual Laurel, of course.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sometimes I get cranky about shows where people don't stay dead. Lazarus pit, alien blood transfusion, whatever ... and they aren't even zombified.

Avoid Soap Operas. Just sayin'.

I'm also skeptical as to the realness of this particular Laurel (especially showing up right after Ollie had a really bad night).

We also had an episode earlier this season (Human Target) that proved someone with the right equipment can flawlessly physically impersonate someone else.

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

And on that same note, Thawne impersonated Stein on tonight's Legends. And what's with Snart showing up in Mick's mind?

And what's with Snart showing up in Mick's mind?

Do we think that's connected to Laurel at all?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

If Flashpoint means we got Snart back, I am ON BOARD for the first time with it.

I don't even know with Arrow.
