Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

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

Yeah, pretty much on the Danvers.

For those unaware, Courtney Ford is married to Brandon Routh.

DX, I was unaware of that.

Shouldn't "Wells" have been using a wheelchair in the flashback of the unveiling?

No, because he wasn't in a wheelchair until after the particle accelerator exploded. The first season has a similar flashback, where Barry and Iris are at the event in this week's flashback, and fake Wells isn't in the wheelchair.

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

Okay. I thought fake Wells took over before that to speed up the plan for the particle accelerator. Either way, I'm not sure I'm up for another season with the villain in a wheelchair.

That was fake Wells in the flashback.

So he didn't start using the wheelchair after the car accident? When Wells wife was killed. Sorry. I guess I'm really misremembering.

When real Wells' wife was killed was when Thawne did whatever weird thing he did to take real Wells' body. And then he said he survived the car crash. So there was no wheelchair until after the particle accelerator went kaboom.

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.

Every time I hear the name "DeVoe" my mind immediately goes to "Bell Biv DeVoe" and it loses all possibility of being threatening.

Also, I was annoyed Barry ended up rewarded for his stupid creepy/stalky/obsessive behavior with a confession from DeVoe.

Meanwhile, Team Arrow are also idiots. As soon as the fake cops started playing punching bags (and made no effort to kill the fleeing citizens) it was super obvious the evil plan was to get Team Arrow on video beating up cops.

Also, FBI lady is pompous and annoying.
