Who says it isn't!

That's not the reason they (usually) kneecap people.

I didn't understand every single thing about this episode

I already liked him in "The Daily Show", but I thought Aasif Mandvi was both excellent and perfectly used here. Where we first see him I was already laughing out of habit, and he indeed begins his bad, terrible day like a buffoon. But as things keep getting worse and worse there was nothing funny about his character…

There aren't many mysteries left on Helix, are there? There were a couple of exposition-heavy episodes in this season that felt like they belonged to another, normal show. So we know all about Ilaria's plan and what this show has been about all this time. And more recently, the WTF mostly came from Peter and I don't…

resigning himself promptly to this new and even batshittier reality

I think she just missed having a strong, insane man in her life.

Xenoblade is one of the best recent RPGs and it is not really "action-RPG" at all. Can't speak for the 3DS adaptation but the Wii version looked great.

Hey if Ron Moore wanted to get some of the money, he should get some of the blame credit for Helix!

Well that was disgusting. It is becoming rather unpleasant to watch Helix at the moment: too much Baby Farm and Hannibal Peter, not enough Hatake hilarious nonsense. And with one episode left (maybe ever), why are we spending so much time on that kid*?

Since the SyFy series are ending soon, may I recommend for your weekend time-travel nonsense Outlander on Starz, returning tomorrow. Warning: this show is actually good! And it is by Ron Moore, of Battlestar Galactica and Helix fame.

Again, if Cpt Det Lance's word if not proof enough, that would mean the premise of the entire episode is dumb, not only Roy's scheme. Especially the scene when Oliver considers his options at the police station and never mentions… calling a lawyer; instead concludes he has no other choice but to go to jail.

I'd go with Thea-leaving-with-her-psycho-biological-father as worst part of this season. And yes technically it happened last year but we saw the consequences later, and it is so dumb that it deserves to be "worst part" of at least two seasons.

*Oliver stands* "I'm the Arrow! Don't take the fall for me Malcom, it would destroy Thea's soul!"

revived under mysterious circumstances

Helix is gone soon, but it looks like the spirit of Helix will live on. A must-see, for sure.

Same writers room, earlier:

"I love your family… if you know what I mean."

True, but it wasn't in character for Roy to be so competent and prepared. He should have tried to parkour himself over thin air.

Cpt Det Lance arresting Oliver without any proof is preposterous as well. But at least he knows that's true, and apparently it is all that matters in Starling City during this episode (see: Oliver and everybody else's reaction).
