Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

So, I'm hoping we don't have angry, sad Supergirl for too long. (I'm guessing not, based on the ending, but you never know.)

Speaking of angry, mopey superheroes, I'm sure Barry saying his time in the Speed Force allowed him to leave the bad parts of his past behind has nothing to do with everyone hating his character the last two seasons.

Also, I'm digging Danielle Panabacker rocking the tattered jeans and tank top look. I never understood why Caitlin wore super-stylish dresses and heels to do medical/lab work.

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

Does anyone think that is not actually Barry?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was wondering about that.

The thought had not occurred to me. While the writers don't seem to mind repeatedly tapping the same well ("The villain is an evil speedster that Barry sees as a mentor!") we did just have Evil!Barry last season so I'd assume that's the real Barry.

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

LoT was a lot of fun, especially with Caesar mistaking a toga party for a group of fellow Romans.

temporal linguistic displasia

Talk about lampshading a time travel staple, Martin explains why the ancient Romans all speak English (with a British accent). I think it would'vd been fun to hear Rory attempt Latin.

"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

I'd have gone with subtitles and Martin having to translate for everyone rather than TARDIS translation shenaigans.

LoT has gone from my least favorite superhero show to my favorite. I agree that the premiere was fun, and I laughed out loud at the Back to the Future twist.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I mis-posted about iZombie in procedurals, but it does kinda go there too. Anyway, I finished last season and damn Jason Dohring.

Yeah, I may be done with the Flash. The show has gone from horrible depressing grimdark to Hey Look At Our Wacky Shenanigans, which isn't any better.

I actually much preferred the shenanigans last night to pretty much all of last season.

I loved LoT last night too, especially the Titanic joke.
