This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh god I love gay Captain Cold. SO MUCH.

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

And he's hanging around.

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.

Also, poor Diggle. Huge four hour crossover and and all he gets to do is barf and perform a somewhat awkward wedding.

Except Cisco had no idea where they were.

Zari's amulet is a totem that is part of a set with Vixen's totem.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Zari's also a hacker from the future.

He could have vibed them.

That being said, I realize the concern was more getting back home in time to save Kara, vs getting home at all. The emphasis in the dialogue (aside from Alex) seemed to be more on the latter.

It's also interesting that Earth-X required all this massive infrastructure to create a portal, while Kara carries around a portal generator in her pocket.

Cisco made Kara's generator, and he has access to lotsa top flight tech. The Earth-X portal was built by that group of rebels that got wiped out first thing, so maybe they built it with what they could scrounge.

He could have vibed them.

Not while he was locked up in the pipeline.

"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

Cisco having the power to open portals without technology might have given him a lot of insight about how to most efficiently build machinery to duplicate that effect as well.
