'War Stories'


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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

he said the actual phrase twice. We get it, show.

I turned to Ethan after the first one and said "OH, I get it now! He's the BAD GUY!"

I'm thrilled we get to keep Tobias around. He's really good at being bad. And I really like Khalil as a bad guy, too.

Totally. And Cy actually got to speak! Excellent villaining all around.

And Jennifer needs a bullet-proof suit, asap.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We quit Arrow but are holding strong on Flash.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh my god, right? Though when she used her powers to rough up Proctor and Jefferson said "Jennifer!" I honestly thought that was going to be followed with "That is NOT how we use superpowers in THIS family!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I did, however, snicker at the sight of the family - two wearing light-up suits - "sneaking" past the bad guys in the background. um ... I don't think it works that way ....

"That is NOT how we use superpowers in THIS family!"

I don't even know why Jefferson goes around zapping people with his lightning power. He could just point at the bad guys and say, "I'm so disappointed in you!" and it would be far more devastating.

Seriously. The patented Principal Stare Of Disappointment would turn bad guys into crying messes.

I'm surprised at how much I liked the (almost totally) Arrow-less episode of Arrow. At the beginning of the episode, I said to Tim, "For god's sake. I don't care about Diaz. He's not even scary!"

Okay. I do actually find him compelling now, although I could have lived without that last scene. I feel like maybe this episode needed to be earlier in the season, so we could give a shit about the Big Bad, you know?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I really like the actor that plays Diaz, which helps.

I was pretty meh on him until last night. Now I'm on board.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A critic on Twitter said that Legends has just transcended the idea of being "good" or "bad", and it's true. It's bonkers as hell and super-entertaining.
