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.

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

I am spoiled for other crossover events, but I wasn't for TOMMY OMG!

I am kinda glad I don't watch LoT if they regularly make such a big deal out of Sara's sexuality. Hey guys, she's a person. Maybe have her do stuff other than "huh huh she's a lesbian isn't that hot". Eyes rolling forever. (#FireKreisberg)

My sexuality = Oliver in a tux with his bow. (I was so turned on I didn't even care where that implausible thing came from.)

What is even happening?

I know this probably doesn't belong here, but thought the Boxed Set regulars would have the best shot of knowing this...

Does Riverdale conversation have a TV thread home on the b.org? I'm a late adopter and am about halfway through the first season and am wondering what Buffistas had to say about it.

(Hope everyone is well. )

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Cindy!!! We've been talking about it, if at all, in Natter. And also my FB, because I love it to pieces.

Hey, Teppy! I am still living footloose and Facebook free. I'd have to figure out which Natter the convo started in, since I'm still in season one. That's probably not going to happen. I really love it, though.

The dialogue isn't of the same calibre as Veronica Mars, and it doesn't have a lead who grabs me like Veronica did, but it reminds me of it.

A lot of stuff I didn't like at first -- the look of it, like the color saturation and the hair dye on Archie and dead boy (Jason?) -- I now love. It struck me somewhere along the way that that look makes it feel like a comic book sprung to life.

For a minute, I thought I might find it in "Other Media," but then I remembered myself. Then I thought, "Oh no, it would be in 'Cable Drama'," until I realized that while I have cable TV upon which I watch Riverdale, The CW is a broadcast network.

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

I am curious what they're setting up with her. Unless we're going to get a female Impulse. That might be kind of awesome.

They have introduced the Legion over in Supergirl, so it's possible. She could also be Dawn Allen (Impulse's aunt).

Trivia time - The minister was played by William Katt, the Greatest American Hero.

Oh my god GAY EARTH-X CAPTAIN COLD. I am dead of happiness. DEAD.

She could be XS. She even looks like her.

Ooh, I think you've got it. That would be neat.
