Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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 useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That voice comment was hilarious.

I really like how he chews the scenery almost as much as Malcolm Merlyn but is as menacing as Slade Wilson.

And you know he's serious, because he talks really softly.

This was a better episode. I forgot that not the entire viewing audience would know that Talia was Talia Al'Ghul, so the big reveal was kind of "yes, and?"

Why does Thea keep disappearing? I know they set up the canon reason, but is the actress working on something else? (I had to look up her name. Willa Holland. Not, as I first thought, Willa Cather.)

I'm not sure if she's working on something else, but I read her contract was only for 14 episodes. Or maybe 16? Now I can't remember. Not a full season, though.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Huh. So maybe they just cut back because they were juggling so many characters. Considering how strong an actress she is, I'm not sure that was the right decision.

Yeah, I cannot stress strongly enough how much I don't care about the new Black Canary. She's like Poochie.

But Ragman needs to come back.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yeah, they keep having to find ways to send people off for a few episodes at a time. Thea's...on a trip! Artemis...is evil! Ragman is...depowered! John is...in prison!

Finally finished the binge watch of The Magicians. I can't stand Quentin, but I really like the show. I think my fave is Julia.

Julia is my favorite too. I just started reading the first book in the series, and I find the tv series to be MUCH more appealing!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Julia is the best. She doesn't make, like, GREAT choices, but on balance I think she's the sanest of anyone except Penny.

(I'm saving the audiobooks for when the show goes on hiatus.)

I only read the first 2 books, but Julia's story in the second book was spectacular and horrifying. I love her.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I just saw the third book at my library the other day and wondered if I should read it. I'd want to reread the first two to remember what happened, but both books have parts I really don't want to reread.
