I have very mixed feeling about this episode. On the one hand, this was easily one of the strongest episodes of what was, overall, a pretty strong first season. On the other hand, it's episodes like this that bought enough good faith for me to keep watching this show long after I should have given it up.

I kind of wonder if she was just bored. Like, she spent all that time looking for this ASI and the only great revelation it gave her was that she was right about humanity at 12 years old. Her relationships with the Machine and Harold and even Shaw, to a degree, were so based in discussion and debate and compromise;

Yeah, I had a similar experience with the book. I actually did stop reading and picked it up again a little over a year later, because I still wanted to find out what happened. Definitely a mistake.

Yeah, I'm weirdly kind of happy for her that she got to die so peacefully. After the way 3x05 ended, I thought there was gonna be a full-on, "for the watch" moment.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain Miller's boyfriend isn't in on it; otherwise Miller could have just come out and told him that he might be walking into an ambush. I actually liked the moment where they said goodbye, because you could see that Miller was trying really hard not to get emotional, because that would give them

To me, the more troubling thing about Lexa agreeing not to retaliate is that she has no reciprocal agreement from Pike. He's already planning on attacking at least one other village, and, if it goes as smoothly as his last massacre, I wouldn't bet on him stopping there. He's already declared war on her and Clarke's

I think the key thing to notice is that the viscera that appears to be coming from Glenn's chest is pretty obviously intestines, so that, at least, is definitely not Glenn's. The big problem is that he's still screaming, which is not going to help the situation, and he's covered in fresh blood, which is pretty much

Agreed. Like, I get it, on some levels. She's still the only woman to complete a city finals course, which is a pretty big deal, but it's not even like they put all that focus on her in anticipation of her doing well. The show isn't live, so they already know her two runs weren't going to be all that impressive

I get where you're coming from, but the thing is that, by their standards, a "winner" is someone who qualifies for Las Vegas and then finishes all four stages within the given time limits. Every season, there's been a guy who got the furthest, but no one called that "winning," because the whole point of the show is

Oh, sorry. I saw it was correct in the article and got confused. My bad.

"Pore over" is actually correct.

I find it helps to think of this show as a television adaptation of the Scream movies in the same way that Teen Wolf is a television adaptation of the movie Teen Wolf (meaning that it shares a name and almost nothing else). Once I stopped comparing it to the movies, it became just a bad tv show, not an insultingly

Personally, I like to think that that was part of Shaw's plan when she set up the trap. Like, Greer probably thought she was being a little weirdly insistent that Martine take point on the whole thing and his bemused expression after Root killed her was him realizing "oh, that's why."

That's a good point. If Patton Oswalt had made that point, I wouldn't have just read through 53 tweets-worth of utter crap.

I loved pretty much every single thing about Root and Finch this episode. For some reason, I kept thinking about the scene in "Death Benefit" where they're debating killing that congressman. I just love the contrast of Reese and Shaw begrudgingly going along with it after Finch says they can't murder anyone to Root

Man, just reading this list made me weepy.

My greatest hope for this season of Arrow is for one single aspect of
Laurel's arc that doesn't make me think "I can't believe they killed
Sara for this crap."

It's certainly a bold editorial choice to explicitly state, in the article, that the high number of adult female gamers is not just because of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, and then to have the picture accompanying the article be Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, just so that anyone looking at the headline without reading the

This movie actually sounds kind of perfect, less for "faith-based" reasons and more for "I'm going to the movies this weekend with my mother and grandmother, and it would be nice not to have to pretend that I don't get any of the jokes" reasons.

Well that's just because incredibly talented women and minorities are a dime a dozen, but we wouldn't want any of them getting the idea that their talent and drive could make them the hero of their own stories. That's why we need straight white guys.
