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.

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

What is even happening?

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.

She could be XS. She even looks like her.

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

I know that Tumblr must be collapsing under the weight of Ollie and Felicity getting married all of a sudden, but I am SO DAMN HAPPY about gay Captain Cold. Heart eyes, motherfucker.

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.

Damn it, they made me cry about a character on a show I don't even watch.

So what's the deal with red amulet woman? Everybody else got some vague level of exposition, but I couldn't really tell what her deal was other than wind(?) powers and she might be kind of sciencey and apparently hangs out with Vixen a lot. (I remember Colossus by way of Captain America from the last crossover.)

I did wonder why everyone made big deal about the portal being their only way home when they know a guy who can make them with a wave his hand.
