Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

Maybe there were a couple of white guy Martians in the background.

Wally's hair is weird this season. I apparently have more than one hair-related thought about the cast's hair.

I love how Caitlin's wardrobe has changed, now that she's not just the strait-laced serious scientist. No more pencil skirts for Caitlin.

"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

...why are the Martians all black? I mean, maybe they're just imitating J'onn? But still.

I look at it as a precedent having been set that lets them hire more people of color as a default.

Fair point. Hard to complain about that. Plus, as DX said, anything that brings Carl Lumbly in is totally worth it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm not even sure I could tell you what happened on Arrow tonight because I was mesmerized by Felicity's glorious hair.

Also, Michael Emerson, yay!

Barry is THE WORST at having a secret identity.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I am like a season behind on Arrow and have dropped Supergirl, but for some reason, still watching The Flash. So far, this season feels more light-hearted and silly, and I am enjoying it much more than last season. The Plastic dude, whatever his name is, made me laugh a lot, even though he gave me some unfortunate Jim Carrey circa Mask flashbacks. And they're letting Candace Patton be funny from time to time, which she is GREAT at.

In the comics, Ralph Dibney is Elongated Man (who is different from Plastic Man, who is a whole other DC character, which is why the snark about "Plastic Man" being a shitty name was funny). Not that "Elongated Man" is a better name.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Plastic Man was originally not a DC property. How they got away with an "Elongated Man" without being sued is beyond me.

On Edit: Never mind. DC acquired PM before they introduced EM. [link]

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

Arrow: I love to sail aboard the good ship S.S. Olicity. I have an executive cabin.

Also, Oliver giving advice to his team is such a glorious thing to see. He has grown so much. Actual character development is a thing that can happen! Bless!
