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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm caught up with Arrow, and the Quentin-as-Prometheus thing has to be a misdirect. I don't think he has the skill to fight the way Prometheus does.

Also, Dolph Lundgren has aged well. Dang.

I cheered when Iris ducked Wally's punch and hit him.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

So I'm happy that Thea got him into rehab and all, but why are we spending more time on Quentin's alcoholism than we are on Felicity's PTSD?

(Speaking of PTSD, some amazing acting during those flashbacks. hoo boy, the way he flinches and trembles when the hood comes off.)

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.

Supergirl may be my favorite of the Super shows right now. They've really stepped up their game this season. While I miss Cat, I appreciate that her absence has been giving the writers a chance to grow Wynn and Alex's characters.

Arrow has gotten better about intertwining their storylines this year. I think the Mayor Ollie storyline has been a huge improvement on the show by making his civilian life and his superhero life into two sides of the same battle. (Though they set the groundwork for it last season.)

I am so distracted by the transformation of Curtis' hair.

Ha! YES.

That has to take time, right? And who does it?

I was already befuddled by how quickly Team Arrow goes from civilian clothes to crimefighting outfits AND gets to the scene of a crime. But to add in Curtis changing his hair -- apparently that's where I can't suspend my disbelief.

Okay, current contenders for Prometheus are obviously Dolph Lundgren and cop guy. (Is that cop guy Felicity's boyfriend?)

Edit: I was not finished typing, damnit.

So there's Prometheus, who is the Flying Star killer, right? And now this guy, who is Vigilante. And Flash has Doctor Alchemy, so they didn't feel left out of the raspy guy in a hood demographic.
