Ed was a girl.

“Is it too much to ask that jokes don’t punch down on a group of people who have already been punched down enough by society for years?”

Now I want a Carter/Widow show. Live action.

Fabian: I’m going to make twillions!
*red streak smashes into the ground - it’s Barry in a superhero pose!!!*
Me, out loud to no one, having waited all season for Barry to appear: BARRY!
Barry: Sorry pal. It’s actually other Barry.
Me, quietly to no one, having waited all season for Barry to appear: Aww... :-(

I’ve never…

You can’t spend 7 weeks going “When will the Watcher get involved?” only to shit on the show for actually having the Watcher get involved.

Also, Uatu didn’t save Bad Strange. He left him in his collapsed universe because he couldn’t get involved. He then went back to him when he realised he needed his help.

I have to say I was expecting the reveal of no body, but...

“Nope, wow. She’s real dead.”

... was very funny, and I’m glad they did it as well. Didn’t need another nemesis out there always surviving somehow.

Speaking of which, when’s Barry going to show up this season?

B+? Pfft. Please...

Making the imperfect good bye where everyone falls over one another trying to have the perfect good bye -was- the perfect good bye. They did great callbacks, even justified the opening titles, revisited locations and characters long since moved on (I actually cheered when Pimento showed up, and even…

If C137 Rick lost his wife/daughter, and, after failing to find/kill the Rick responsible, and after getting bored of killing every Rick that came after him, he then crashed into the garage of a random Beth whom had been abandoned by her Rick... explain Froopyland?

Anyone notice that they haven’t been doing cold opens this year? They’re always related to the plot at hand, rather than these detached quick-fire jokes.

Shame...

What’s more important is that Holt and Kevin are not “gay characters”. What do I mean by that?

Well Holt is a character where being gay (and black, for that matter) are aspects of his character, not the parts of his character that define him. Too often movies and television seek meaningless “representation/diversity”…

To me it just comes across as cowardly. They don’t want to make a show where cops are the good guys, so have a bunch of them quit, and others start of “reforms” that will “change” things but it’s all meaningless and hollow lip-service.

A C+? “The Game of Boyles” was worth it for Kevin running in the rain to reunite with Holt. And I’m not just saying that because Kevin’s my favourite character.

As for this:

“This was the first time when their efforts felt a bit phony, and try as they might, a zany undercover scheme can’t distract from the core naïveté…

Another subtle line from last night’s episode. Everyone reacts to the account having over a million with happiness of awe.

Multi-millionaire Cheryl Tunt though? “Hey that’s cute.”

As much as this was a Mallory episode, it’s hard not to give a shout out to Judy Greer again. She was absolutely on fire this episode, and Pam’s confusion over what they were meant to be doing added to it so well.

Even Leslie Bibb came back for half a line.

Iron Man 2, Thor and The Incredible Hulk do all happen around the same time.

During the final Tony/Fury scene in Iron Man 2, where Fury rejects Tony for the Avengers, you see a news reporter on one of the many screens reporting on the incident at the Culver University from the Hulk movie.

Way back in the day, Marvel…

Still feels like they’re going out of their way to contrive reasons for Rosa to appear.

SWAT has always had an element of “How do I justify being a black cop in LA” to it’s storytelling. It’s had black characters (multiple, actually) disagree on methods of helping the community, whether they should be cops in the first place, whether what they’re doing is enough or even worth while. I was worried that…

If it ends with all of the quitting, then that seems even more cowardly.

That’s a great argument to make. Pity no one actually said anything of the sort for you to argue against.
