We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

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

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

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Ha! YES.

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

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.

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

I am almost certain that "Vigilante" (omg guys, call Cisco for help) is the shady DA guy.

I'm more bothered by how quickly they manage to remove the eye makeup under their masks than Curtis' hair. Though that's been a weird superhero thing since the 1989 Batman.

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

Maybe it's that peel-off facial mask stuff instead of makeup, so they can just grab an edge and yank it off their skin after changing into civvies?
