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.

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.

Holy crap: So, I want to tell you all what happened in the [comic book] store today...

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.

File that under "dumb things I noticed while watching TV".

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

Nope, no pierced ears in the pilot's teenaged Kara scenes. Maybe her cousin helped out, or you could put a little piece of kryptonite on the earlobe for a few seconds. Jeremiah would've had access.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Maybe her cousin helped out, or you could put a little piece of kryptonite on the earlobe for a few seconds.

Totally expecting to see this as a Yuletide story now. It would be creepy and yet oddly affecting.

Well, Hoechlin does have fairly prominent canines even without the prosthetic werewolf fangs...

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

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha! Not!Draco telling Barry about the Philosopher's Stone.

That made me snicker.
