Ha! I'd better watch Elseworlds before I see Spider-Verse.
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.
Yup, better make that my plan.
Okay, the first Elseworlds episode is delightful. And I squeed at the Smallville theme and then had to explain it to Tim. And now I just want to watch Smallville.
And the second Elseworlds episode was a lot of fun, too. Gotham looks gorgeous (I'm a sucker for all that art deco architecture), and Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin are having way too much fun in each others' roles.
I don't understand why Barry and Oliver would hallucinate each other's fears, though, when they still have their own memories. Since Malcolm and Thawne showed up right before a commercial break, I was honestly expecting to come back from the break and see Barry and Oliver tell their respective hallucinations, "You've got the wrong guy," and walk away.
Me, too, Tep! I really loved the banter in the three eps, I have to say. Barry's delight when he shoots Oliver in the back with the remote control arrows was hilarious.
Barry's delight when
That was EXCELLENT.
I just finished the last epsiode, and Tyler Hoechlin had way too much fun playing Deegan/evil Superman.
I want to know what deal Oliver made with the Monitor. I guess they're going to save that for Crisis on Infinite Earths.
15 Fantasy Adaptations We're Excited to See on TV Soon
A lot of these are on Amazon. It seems like their strategy is "adapt everything until we get our own Game of Thrones".
Also, Frank Miller is working on a show with a teenage girl protagonist? Err...
The Doctor Who New Year's special was a much better season finale.
In hospital, so no lengthy comment, but I completely agree. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything, but it made for a pretty exciting story, and was competently done. (I have thoughts about the Thirteenth Doctor finally meeting the Daleks, but for a later time.)
I finally got caught up on The Magicians. I never remember to watch it when it's on so I watch it on Netflix. I really liked Season 3. I loved the Under Pressure episode, the song choice was perfect and the way they split the lines to the characters.
When I started watching I liked the show but I didn't like a lot of the characters. Quentin was annoying, Alice... I liked and then didn't, and I thought Margo was just bitchy. But now Quentin I can deal with more, I really don't like Alice, I love Margo and Julia. My favorite characters are Julia and Margo followed closely by Penny and Eliot .
I did not like the whole Julia was raped plot line and I was worried about what was going to happen to her and I really like her changes and growth.
I'm hoping that in Season 4 we get to see some kind of flashback to Timeline 23 and how Julia and Penny became a couple because I find that intriguing and would like to know more. Penny 23 is interesting and it's nice to see Penny not trying so hard not to care. And I hope we get to use Underground Penny, it seemed like he made his choice to embrace the destiny they had for him and I hope it brings him something good.
I adore Hale Appleman. The end of the S3 finale when he comes up to Quentin at first I thought I he had somehow broken free , that this was hopeful and then it changes. I'm looking forward to seeing how what he does with being a new character.
Although Eliot was an ass to Margo about the High King election, I think she is better at being a ruler and getting stuff done and she proved it by getting elected although that was in weird circumstances . Fen realizing human Fillorians don't count enough was a nice moment.
One thing I can't remember is if time flows differently in the Library/Underground vs the real world. The girl who helped and then betrayed Penny said she did it because her family was whacked and then her uncle pulled strings to get to the otherside. After watching the McAllisters die I wondered if maybe she was related and that was her family. But that seems too neat to do.
My issues with Alice aren't so much her character or the acting (sometimes it's that) but it's her voice especially in intense moments it does this weird thing and I don't like it. And the way the costuming throws me off. The way she is covered up for her torso but then the short skirts. It's a weird thing to be bothered by.
