I was really into the trailer for this, up until the point that Pitt says "I'm living in America, and in America, you're on your own." Something about trying to equate selfish criminality to the American experience seems condescending, yet extremely common. And I'm not even American.

Detective Lance was written like a 50's noir gumshow this week and it was fucking incredible. Talking about guys who are "mobbed up to the eyeballs" and how a Triad/mob war would be "world war III" for Starling City made me wish we were following him through the career downward spiral.

Beth, Oscar and Axel are all in the same scene, AND each have dialogue? It was like an emergency meeting of the disposable character security council.

As someone who has only occasionally watched, and enjoyed, the show (mostly for the cast), the urge to end all the brow-beating that comes with not getting on board with HIMYM is dulled by how toxic everyone a lot of AVC viewers make the overarching play out to be.

Point: The CG looks terrible, and it sounds like a two hour smug-off that will end with Mark Ruffalo looking wide-eyed, mouth gaping when he figures out how they did it, as the gang smirk, and smirk, and smirk at each other (wearing sunglasses), while on a boat, or going to the airport, with a big stack of cash.
