And he's hanging around.
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.
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.
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.
Zari's also a hacker from the future.
Except Cisco had no idea where they were.
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.
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.
That whole bit with them being on Earth-X was....not well done by the writers. Really, they're going to just take off without a thought to helping the rest of the people in the camp they were in, or maybe, I dunno, overthrowing the Nazis? Some heroes. (Though I will admit to being pretty terrified by SturmbannFuehrer Lance. Nicely done, Blackthorne)
Remembering the Olicity high I was on in Arrow 409, that was almost immediately crushed to bits by Darhk and fucking Little Drummer Boy...I am SO NERVOUS for next week's Arrow.
