I keep hoping PBS will air it, but it looks like it's exclusive to Acorn TV. Is it $4.99 a month good?

Spoiler:

It was an, uhh… interesting take. As you said, it was set in modern times so Poirot actually used a computer to help his investigation. It was kind of fun for what it was (a low-budget TV movie), but I wouldn't go in expecting anything close to a faithful adaptation.

There was a PC game that actually did change the ending. It was gloriously stupid.

I always felt like the '70s version was verging on camp. Some of the actors were a little too eager to ham things up.

No love for the Molina version? It's freakin' Doc Ock as Poirot!

The cast was amazing in the BBC adaptation, though I wish they had given Anna Maxwell Martin a meatier role. She was fantastic in Bleak House so it was disappointing not being able to see her flex her acting chops.

I mean, this is Trump's America now, so they could even call it by its original title.

I actually didn't like that it was so similar. It felt less like an homage and more like a lazy, unearned ripoff. Barry sacrificing himself to a blue portal was one thing, but when he said, "Keep running. For me." it felt like the writers were just plagiarizing.

I can't help but feel that they mismanaged the Killer Frost story. She easily could've been a Dark Phoenix style big bad for the season, but instead she was just Savitar's lackey for… reasons?

Iris, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. But this is the work that I have to do to create drama for next season. Tell Joe… Tell Joe I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to Wally. You have to take care of him now. You have to take care of each other, if you catch my drift. You

"Why do you think I've been so nice to you?"

Kenneth was supposed to cameo on Kimmy Schmidt this season, but there was a scheduling conflict. Apparently he would've just passed by in the background, but I'd love to see him and Kimmy interact and see who's more optimistic.

Didn't Earth-2 Harry claim he was sick and dying a few episodes ago? They tried to brush it off as him just pretending, but I'm gonna guess he wasn't. That and the fact that they specified that transmogrification was an Earth-2 invention make me think Harry came up with the plan and took the fall.

Barry's available now, and he needs to be in a stable pseudo-incestuous relationship.

Arrow had the best one last year, when Oliver rallied unarmed citizens to rush towards mercenaries armed with guns. Those same citizens were rioting and looting earlier in the episode, and some of them were still holding their looting boxes when they ran towards the mercenaries.

The sad part is at least he has a motivation other than hating Flash just 'cause, which was basically the extent of Reverse-Flash's and Zoom's motivations.

I always thought that if I'd ever see a woman with super powers having an orgasm while killing a man, it would be in Zack Snyder presents Wonder Woman.

I agree that the early villain reveal (at least to the audience) was better, but I never felt like they properly laid out Eobard's motivations. We knew he was pissed off at Flash, but they never really explained why other than it was his destiny to be his arch-rival.
