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.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

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

Predictions: Wally dies instead of Iris, and, therefore, Barry gave up his perfect future for nothing. Also, I predict Barry will do something stupid to avoid Iris dying (but that is too easy of a guess). Regardless, I think this was the best episode of The Flash all season.

OMG! I immediately thought of Harry Potter when they mentioned the stone, but totally missed that it was Draco doing the telling.

Plus we got the Earth-3 Trickster.

OTOH, the computer-generatedness of some of the effects, especially while Jay was getting whomped on by Savitar, was really obvious.
