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 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.

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

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!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I was about to say that's disappointing, until I saw this on the same site:
George Takei has now been accused of sexually assaulting someone in 1981.
If true, that's really disappointing.

It's all disappointing. Everything is terrible.

I have a secret, very short list of men in the public eye who, if it turns out they are sexual predators, will just gut me.* Beyond them, I'm pretty much braced for every other goddamn man in politics or Hollywood to turn out to be a total shitbag.
*(Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Come through for me, guys. Come through. t edit Okay, Mr. The Rock being a sexual predator would make me sad, too, now that I think of it.)

The Arrowverse allegations was apparently widely known and I am seeing a lot of the fandom people I follow assert that there are others in that production sphere. All horrible.

"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
The fact that they hired Jerkules on one of the DC shows proved to me that Berlanti pays zero attention to chauvinist and harassing behavior on those soundstages.
