"Character X is really Character Y after time travelling" barely ranks above "it was all a dream" and "this innocent kids show is secretly super grimdark!" in terms of idiotic fan theories. I hope people who come of with these aren't writers themselves.

Sadly I completely agree with this assessment of season 3 (though I'm a lot more fond than you are of season 2). The main factor for me was, as you said, how poorly done the Miller-Hardy partnership is (something about it just feels shallow compared to previous seasons) and their solo home-focused stuff which frankly

There's few things more frustrating than someone telling you that you don't 'get' a very obvious book/film/whatever. It's not that deep!

Pretty sure he was also the guy who killed Nassar, right?

I've never agreed with the theory that Rose = Pink Diamond, but I don't think you have to take this as confirmation that it's not true. Based on Peridot's comments on the Beta Kindergarten, Jasper was apparently made when the rebellion was well underway. Anything she knows about Pink Diamond, and what kick-started the

Well the party took place in a completely different town than the rest of the show, right? Maybe I'm wrong but it would seem weird for Kyle and his wife to both live in the same extremely small town when she obviously wants distance from him.

The Dorne and Tyrion/Mereen storylines are so idiotic, I'm not sure how anyone can still consider GoT as belonging to the elite tier of tv occupied by shows like The Sopranos or Justified. It's entertaining schlock at best.

For me it's less about how boring he is and more that he can freaking reincarnate. When you've died over 200 times it really stops being a tragedy.

Considering all the 'cells' seemed to be in complete isolation, with literally nothing to provide stimulation, wasn't the prison on this show basically torture? Solitary confinement seriously fucks people up, and the metahumans are unstable to begin with.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike this episode, but doing so because it lacks a message just seems insufferably self-righteous. Television doesn't exist to teach morals.

Playing the 'something scary is about to happen' music from every bad horror film is not a subtle trick, it's trite laziness.

'Sexy and suspicious' does seem to be Cosima's type.

I wish I could be as cool and intelligent as you.

But Regina said a man wasn't her happy ending! That totally erases the previous one and a half seasons being totally dedicated to the fact that, in fact yes, a man is her happy ending.

Honestly I think the characters of the show owe Rumple a lot more than they're willing to admit. He's basically the sole reason Charming and Snow were ever together, gave his life to save them from Pan, was brought back and spent however long being tortured and enslaved by his son's murderer - and he's apparently

Were they working together? I thought Rudy genuinely believed he was a traitor until Mark got all authoritative, and until Gracie dumped him, I didn't think Mark wanted anything to do with the other clones, he just wanted to find the DNA sample to buy his freedom.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.

I've always thought that the heavy use of alternatives to 'said' is just a crutch for poorly written dialogue - if a character is musing, or wondering, or any subtle difference in cadence that mediocre writers love to break out the thesaurus for, that should be made clear in the actual words they're saying, or in the

I'd rather he grade it by his own standards than try to emulate past reviewers. And while there were parts of this episode I loved - the end tag was brilliant I thought - if this is an A- then that says something very depressing about the show's potential.

I think it's much better than the previous movie; it's still not as good as the show, but it feels a lot closer to it. I love his friendship with the French girl.
