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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am still not caught up with everything to watch the crossovers, but some stuff is bugging me:

- Caitlin's the first person whose personality has completely changed with the powers, right? It seemed really sudden, jarring. and then flipped RIGHT BACK. hated it.

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

Yeah, I don't get it either. Cisco didn't become his evil doppelganger when his powers manifested. Maybe Caitlin just has a lot of repressed rage from her relationship with her parents that comes to the surface when she uses her powers.

Yeah, for people who are super-serious about protecting the timeline, they're...not.

Also, how many masked heroes with secret identities just stood on a stage with the president for a nationally (or internationally) televised press conference?

"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

At least they did confirm that the previous President was actually abducted and vaporized, which makes pretty much no sense to me for aliens that have mind control tech.

Well, the old president was old and ugly and the new president is kind of hot, so win-win, even if it wasn't Lynda Carter.

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.

- Caitlin's the first person whose personality has completely changed with the powers, right? It seemed really sudden, jarring. and then flipped RIGHT BACK. hated it.

Well, we had Magenta earlier in the season, though they said she had the split personality before she got the powers.

I agree the whole "Caitlin's powers turn her evil" storyline has been really poorly done.

Watched Legends tonight. That was a lot of fun (if silly.) And no, considering Cisco's "Set phasers to stun line" I'm assuming they didn't kill a bunch of government agents back in 1951.

I do think the Arrow-verse's handling of time traveling (and the effects thereof) has been incredibly inconsistent.

That's wonderful.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was watching the Supergirl where Superman visits her and - as so often happens - they fight crime together. And I was thinking they were just so darn CUTE together.

But then I was wondering - Supergirl - bullets bounce off her. How'd she get her ears pierced?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

How'd she get her ears pierced?

In this iteration, how old was she when she arrived on Earth?

In the comics, she was already a teenager, so she could have had them pierced before she was invulnerable-ized.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Yeah, she was like 13. Though one would have to look at the flashbacks to Krypton to see if they were pierced.
