'The Message'


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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Bah.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't Jay already agree to sacrifice himself? Isn't that why he was stuck in there? What changed, other than the need to end the season on another cliffhanger?

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.

Cisco let him out with the modified bazooka and it would be rather cruel to make him go back in to pay for Barry's mistakes.

My issue is there shouldn't need to be a speed prison at all anymore since Barry stopped needing to create it the instant Savitar winked out of existence.

He already agreed to go in the first time to "pay for Barry's mistakes." I didn't mean that that group should throw him in against his will. More that he should have at least volunteered to go back.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm not totally done watching last week's Arrow, but -- Malcolm Merlyn is this show's deus ex machina. The showrunners have got to stop going to that well.

Although I always appreciate seeing John Barrowman. And I enjoy Merlyn insulting Ollie. So maybe I shouldn't complain.

Okay, back to the episode.

I have no memory of last week's Arrow except for the end.

Okay, yeah, the end was totally worth it. I may or may not have yelled "Slaaaaaaaade Wilson!!!!!" loudly enough to startle the sleeping cat.

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

Really hoping that Malcolm doesn't make it through the finale. Probably the only way to get the writers to stop using him as an easy out.

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

I assume that Wally and Jay would be back in hell, whereas Barry will not. Presumably.

I thought this had some really nice moments, actually. Candice Patton does a lot of unacknowledged work.

(Yes, I cried over H.R. Like three times. And at the end. And over Mon-El. I possibly need to stop watching season finales for the moment.)

My CW station is showing a weather guy talking about a tornado warning that isn't in or near my county. NOT COOL, WEATHER DUDE.
