'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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

My annoyance is that the Next Thing has to be bigger and bigger.

See also, the Harry Dresden books.

You could do a story about how individual tragedies get overwhelmed by big events, but that might be too grim for popcorn TV.

The STAR Labs team has never heard of local anesthesia?

Seriously. (I already got spoiled and knew this episode was going to annoy me, so I'm primed to be annoyed.)

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

See also, the Harry Dresden books.

Hah! I was thinking the exact same thing.

Though, don't get me wrong, I can't wait for the next book.

I'm behind in Dresden, I should catch up. Last I read, his apprentice got zapped. How many books behind am I?

At least Butcher has had a plan all along.

Molly? (I actually don't know what you mean by "zapped." Did he have a whole other apprentice that died that I can't remember? This is entirely possible.)

I didn't want to potentially give a spoiler. Molly's status in life changed drastically.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

because I read something that said the show would be introducing "supernatural elements" (though I have no idea what that would look like).

It would almost have to be Sabrina, wouldn't it? Unless the showrunner is actually going to make the show pivot and go in an Afterlife with Archie direction...

Ah, that. You might be behind by 2 books, maybe? Or 3?

The spoiler I saw was super vague, but it really seems like it has to be Sabrina.
