I read recently that Vigiilante would not be unmasked this season.
That would be so damn frustrating.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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...did not know that Supergirl was going to guest-star Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo. Are they just pillaging old sci-fi shows? (And really, did we have to employ the dickhead?)

I am really tired of everyone on The Flash being so goddamn stupid. When Barry said "I know what I'm doing," I would have paid good money for the entire STAR Labs crew to burst out laughing. Because he NEVER knows what he's doing. And what's with just standing and watching as Wally is *slowly* being pulled into the Speed Force? (Never mind that Jessie Quick ALSO could have run the hell over there, too, but everyone on this show is suffering from fatal stupidity.)
And -- putting aside the issue of whether Iris and Barry being engaged would ACTUALLY change the future -- Iris decides to break off the engagement, theoretically sealing her future fate of being a kabob? What the actual SHIT, Iris? I know people who got married sooner than they had planned/wanted so one of them could get on the other's health insurance (hell, I almost did that). So, you know, maybe just go with getting married so YOU DON'T DIE, IRIS WHAT THE HELL. But no, let's continue to make Iris as fatally stupid as the rest of the cast.
And -- Jessie couldn't help Barry and Wally because she was squeeing over Iris's Engagement Ring of Deception? JUST STOP WRITERS YOU ARE MAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE HIT STROKE LEVEL. (I also give a HUGE stinkeye to the "You didn't ask me for permission, Barry!" bullshit from Joe. STOP IT JOE THIS IS 2017.)
In conclusion, what the shit, show.
Oh, wait. Savitar is future Barry, right? I mean, he said it like 3 times last night. "I am the future, Flash." I don't think that comma belongs after "future." For real. I'm pretty sure that seeing Iris get killed is what turns Barry into Savitar. (Though that's a whole timeline conundrum that makes my head hurt.) Still, I'm serious. I think Savitar is future Barry.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I find it annoying when a plot only works when someone's being stupid.

That is the entire driving force behind The Flash, apparently. And a lot of Arrow.

My primary complaint with most rom-coms. Or any show when the plot hinges on "Oh, I can't possibly *talk* to him/her! They must never find out about X! It would be the end of everything!" Unless X is treason/murder.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Good theory, Steph. Maybe it's the future Barry before our Barry started messing with all the timelines? I was wondering last night if Eddie is Savetar. Yes to everything else you said too.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I love the opening voiceover. "I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist..." Yes, that's definitely how I think about people. "That Barry guy sure is weird, but I guess he's just an ordinary forensic scientist."

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.
So the Prometheus reveal surprised me. I was among those who figured Adrian was Vigilante. I don't quite get why he would go through all the effort to save Oliver's job as the mayor (even offering to fall on his own sword) when he's so big on seeing him suffer.
I'm also shocked that Susan apparently doesn't have some sort of ulterior motive (though I wonder why she was so intent in digging up dirt on Oliver, then.)
I love Anatoly. As much as I really don't give a crap about the actual Bratva plot in the flashbacks, I'm enjoying the time with Anatoly.
I'm mostly watching Flash for Cisco at this point. (Though last week's bits between Harry and HR were comedy gold.) They really, really need to find something better for Caitlin to do other than fall for men that end up dying or turn out to be evil (not that Julian is necessarily going to die, but he's still got that whole direct mental link to Savitar going on.)
Speaking of Savitar, they seem to have switched from pure CGI to a suit with CGI enhancements. I imagine that's cheaper, though he looked very "high-end cosplay, but not quite professional-quality" this week.

For those who aren't on FB, DH interviewed Claudia Black and wrote a really fantastic article about Farscape, Aeryn, and feminism for IWD.
