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."

Well, that was interesting. Although, it felt more like an Arrow episode than a Flash episode to me. I didn't see that twist coming wrt to Stein.

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.

See, it felt sufficiently Flash-like. It was about Barry and the continued fallout from him mucking with the timeline.

I'm annoyed we're back to Cisco blaming Barry for his brother's death (even it is Barry's fault) since that's the way we started the season.

I will say, as amusing as Kara repeatedly handing the entire team their ass over and over without breaking a sweat was, it did kind of make you wonder why Barry needed to gather everyone else in the first place.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm hoping the rest of the team is used more in Arrow and/or LoT. (Though the preview for Arrow made it look like a riff on "For the Man Who Has Everything," which I'm kind of giving the side-eye to.)

"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

It's not as if Barry were Dr. Manhattan, intentionally altering events in everyone's lives to make them suckier. He tried to minimize the effects of his own interference in the past by setting things right. Cisco should put his big boy pants on and blame the drunk driver that mowed his brother down, not Barry.

Aw, that was fun. And Mick is funny now.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Belated comment on Supergirl. So virus was designed to target non-Kryptonian DNA. And it did not effect humans? Cause humans aren't aliens. I would think that on Krypton humans were included in the category "alien". One throw away line might have explained it. Or will this be a plot point down the road?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that someone could engineer a virus that would be instantly deadly to an infinite number of biologically diverse organisms except one (well, I imagine they probably didn't want it to affect the non-humanoid Kryptonian species either. A war that still wipes out every other living being on the planet wouldn't be much of a win.)

My other question is how would Cadmus even know Medusa existed?

That was the one that occurred to me.

Elsewhere people are speculating that Medusa will be involved in defeating the Dominators, thus making the Supergirl episode more cross-overy than it initially appeared.

ION, Stephen Amell posted on Facebook that tonight's episode of Arrow is number 100.
