I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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.

"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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I had not realized that season 3 of The Expanse has started. Gotta catch up....

The 100 is back ... I missed the first episode of this season (they're slipping it into Black Lightning's time slot).

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

The CW app has it for free - I forgot to set my DVR for the first ep too.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Am I alone in kind of liking "Siren"? In spite of the heroe's white savior complex.... Prettyboy rich white dude who tries to do the right thing but keeps making decisions for other when it is not his call. (Though he does seem to be working on it. Asked someone to wear a tracker for their own protection rather than pretending it was just a piece of jewelry So wearing the tracker was an informed choice, not something they were tricked into doing.)
