Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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 a bit confused about the reveal being a surprise... wasn't he revealed to be Dr. Alchemy a couple of episodes ago?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I don't remember that at all. What scene?

Plus, the stinger *felt* like a huge reveal-- why do that if we already knew that Draco was Alchemy?

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

I'm shocked, shocked to find that Draco Malfoy is Alchemy!

I don't remember any previous reveal, either. OTOH, almost every bit of speculation I saw as to Alchemy's true identity was pointed squarely at Julian, so maybe that's it. If Alchemy was going to be someone we've seen, and there haven't been any characters added other than Julian*, it couldn't have been anyone else. Kind of anticlimactic.

* There is Joe's DA friend, who really isn't new. Now that would've been a hell of a reveal.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

He was the obvious choice but I was still surprised.

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

Flash really is the king of the anticlimactic big bad reveal.

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.

Yeah. "The Reverse Flash can't be Wells, it's too obvious! Oh."

"Zoom can't be Jay, it's too obvious!...Hmph."

"Alchemy is Julian, isn't he? Sure enough."

I seriously hope the CW DC-verse crossover this week is fun rather than overstuffed and overwrought. (That's a crap-ton of characters to try to juggle, though I think Supergirl's supporting cast is being left out, which sadly means no Wynn/Cisco geek-outs.)

While Alex sneaking the beer back out of the fridge was amusing, I was wondering how she managed that (and Wynn and James having their whispered argument about telling her about Guardian) without Kara hearing.

BTW, the exterior of the Hall of Justice (or whatever they're calling it) on tonight's Flash is the Cincinnati Museum Center: [link]
