I sucked down the first 7 episodes of season 1 of Supergirl last night. It is occasionally hokey as hell, but I like watching Kara develop, I love her relationship with her sister Alex, I adore Cat at the same time I want to punch her in the face, James Olsen is cute as a button and I actually like him and Lucy together, I hate Max Lord and want to punch him in the face too, really, really punch him, and I finally met Jonn Jonn'z and it was like all my feels just rose up and screamed THIS IS MY SHOW. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The baddies on Supergirl now have the same name as the company that prints our journals: Cadmus. It makes me laugh.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Cadmus used to be our journal printer! (At my old job; I have no idea who prints the AMA's journals.)
Again, WE ARE THE SAME PERSON.

Two minutes into last week's Legend, and seeing Damien Dahrk in Miami Vice cosplay is already worth it.

And boy, is this show lucky to have Caity Lotz for their fight scenes.

"We are CADMUS!"
"Hi, can you put a hold on that editorial? The editor has more changes."
"Shall I send Metallo to destroy him?"
"No, no, that's not necessary. ...Um, could he maybe just, like, glare at him a lot? Just until he finishes it."
"Sure, no problem. No extra charge! He enjoys it."

I'm finally caught up on Arrow, and now I'm wondering if Ollie's dead daddy is Prometheus. I'm assuming Quentin is a big misdirect.

Man, Chyler Leigh is killing it on Supergirl.

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'm finally caught up on Arrow, and now I'm wondering if Ollie's dead daddy is Prometheus. I'm assuming Quentin is a big misdirect.
Oliver's dad never occurred to me (though it is an interesting thought considering the mentions of Ollie's dad recently and the return of The List. "Damn it, Barry, how much did you screw up?") but with Flashpoint changing the timeline all sorts of whackadoodle theories are possible. I mean, we are talking about a company that had Superboy Prime reality-punch Jason Todd back to life.
I agree that Quentin is a misdirect (probably specifically done by Prometheus to fuck with both Quentin and Ollie.)
Man, Chyler Leigh is killing it on Supergirl.
She really is. This whole storyline has been really well done, IMO. (Which, considering how clunky and on-the-nose the writing on Supergirl can be at times, is really impressive.)

I finally caught up on all the super shows and am enjoying the heck out of all of them. I was super skeptical of a Legends without Snart and still miss him chewing the scenery, but Steel is cracking me the hell up, and The Rory/Ray partnership is hilarious. LOVE Supergirl. I binged last season and then bought this season and binged it too. Totally agree that Chyler Leigh is killing it. Flash and Arrow are still enjoyable, but at the moment they are the bottom two on my list, which surprised me.
