"This is also a hell of a good Laurel episode, though I’ll go ahead and say right now the tones she and Oliver adopt when discussing his breakup with Felicity sure sound just tender enough that the show is starting to tease an eventual reconciliation for the comics-mandated couple."

Another cracking good 40 odd minutes of pure entertainment. I don't care about the timey wimey stuff, I just want to have fun or be emotionally connected watching a show and LoT does it for me every time.

Stephen Amell can sing too.

Loved it, cheesy as hell but oozed charisma and comic book vibes from start to finish.

This has become tedious, trite and tired. The "explanation" for why Liam was still in the Underworld was utterly ridiculous, a flash back to when he and Killian were still in servitude to Captain Silver (sadly not the beautiful one in Black Sails) and Hades wanted the souls on the ship they were on but promised to…

"What the hell happened to Felicity Smoak? There was a time not so long ago that pretty much everyone—give or take the occasional guest reviewer—considered Felicity the show’s breakout character, and it wasn’t hard to see why. In an early iteration of this show that often felt trapped by its grim tone and its…

Okay never thought I'd be weeping like a baby at an episode of Agents of SHIELD but there you go, I did just that.

Cor Easter Eggs being dropped all over the shop with Project Cadmus, The Guardian (or potential for him) and the little nods to Dean Cain previously playing Superman.

Oh dear that wasn't very good at all and I'm afraid every time they tried to ramp up the tension with the music and Hades' flaming blue hair it just made me laugh.

Awful episode, disjointed and saved only by Bailee's version of young Snow which astonishes me every time I see her.

So so good, best episode yet this season for me. A game performances from Melissa, Chyler, Calista and David just brought real emotional depth to everything that was going on.

Whittle's taking the lead role in the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods.

Loved it. Great return for the second half of the season, lots of ground work laid down for where the show is going to go, great action scenes, no buggering about with FitzSimmons pining but just putting them back on track to work things out, Ward as an extra from iZombie and two cracking new Inhumans, one for each…

"but if Dad Henry is trapped in a tiny box with Cora in the magic mirror, how does Regina eventually rip out his (normal-sized) heart and kill him?"

Fantastic finish even if they did leave a cliff hanger. I hope they get a third season, this show has been an absolute gem for me.

She has to take the seed to the Bloodfire and immerse herself and it in it in order to become the new Ellcrys.
It's basically a plot point used by Brooks for why she has to have a journey and couldn't just become the tree when it first starts to fail.
In the book you find out at the end that she's known all along…

Season Two of the animated show apparently according to Katie, so that's on the way.

It's not so much the "increased" role of Eretria as the - completely and utterly changed from the book - role of Eretria :)

Totally agree, Heritage is the best set of novels and it goes downhill rapidly from then on.
I haven't read the prequels, I'd given up on Brooks as an author by the time they came out.

He did get shot.
