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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There is some serious violence, but it doesn't seem to be in the basic weave of the world in Magicians the way it is in GoT.

I think I disagree, but the main difference, I think, is that the characters don't take the level of violence for granted when it happens, which makes a huge difference in terms of emotional heft. Honestly, GoT is easier for me to watch because it really is just pure gratuitous spectacle - if certain characters are killed off, I'll be upset because the show will be boring without them, but I'm not really going to be sad about it.

Supergirl: seriously the DEO doesn't send a backup team with Kara and Alex?

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

They don't bother to vet or even just retrain returning agents who've been held in captivity for 14 years, so not remembering to send backup seems par for the course. Also, how did the physical they did on Jeremiah miss the fact that he has a robot arm?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Was Central City always in the middle of a forest, down the road from a picturesque cliff convenient for assembling your gorilla army?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And do they not realize that Harry is using his gorilla voice?

Okay, I guess he wasn't. Maybe it was his attempt at distinguishing Harry from H.R.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is Chase still the D.A. while acting as Oliver's lawyer? Is that...supposed to work somehow?

I am now rooting for Thea as next season's villain.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Was there a LoT this week that my dvr missed?

I am now rooting for Thea as next season's villain.

That would be cool, since they seem to have run out of things to do with her this season.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

There was no LoT this week, which is sad because that's the Arrowverse show I most look forward to.(Mostly because it's silly and revels in its silliness) It'll be back next week.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, Arrow surprised me with Prometheus. But now I want to know who the damn vigilante is. My whack-ass theory is that it's Curtis's soon to be ex-husband Paul. (And who arranges dinner at a nice restaurant to give someone divorce papers, seriously?)
