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.

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.)

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

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.

Chyler Leigh is indeed killing it, and the actor playing Winn is delivering far more than I ever expected from him.

I'm caught up on all the superhero shows but Supergirl which I'm catching up on today. I'm enjoying it, but I also feel like it is checking off an Angel check list, a sanctuary bar and a fight club so far. And yay, Dichen Lachman!

Oh, and the DEO didn't know anything about a bar where aliens hang out, right in town? Not very good at what they do.

I'm loving Brenda Strong as the big bad this season! Such an unusual role for her.

Other thoughts:

I hate James's current storyline. And I miss James, Winn, and Kara working together.

Alex is supposed to be under 30? And so far along in her career?

I agree with what others said about Chyler Leigh doing a fantastic job this season. And now I'm out of Supergirl episodes to watch and sad.
