She needs to put more people in the ground before she can be considered experienced enough to manage a major municipal area.

The suburbs never looked so good.

The fates of Laurel and Sara are clearly connected at this point. Sara could die and then Laurel becomes the canary to "honor" her sister, or Laurel could die believing her sister is a hero and Sara must strive to become a hero, the Canary, to live up to her sister's faith in her. Either way, someone eats hot death…

I watched the pilot on Youtube and it was a lot of fun. Eva Green is spooky and Timothy Dalton just kills it. Great atmosphere and production, too..

No doubt there was much swooning last night.

I'm sure it's the well-worn "she was shooting at someone behind him" trope, but it was a good scene nevertheless.

I think so, too. We'll see her fake-out death in the island flashback, and her real death in Starling City.

There is, in fact, survey data out there that shows the majority of women do not reach orgasm through intercourse alone. I don't remember the specific numbers.

You just know you'd hate that fucker if you met him on the street.

Seriously. It's fucking 24 hours. Just plot it out and then write it up. Instead it did seem like they were constantly making shit up on the spot.

That was actually pretty good. I know they used to waste a lot of time on ridiculous subplots, but the strong start makes me a little sad it'll only be 12 episodes. Surely there's enough shit to do when you have to save the world single-handed in a single day that you don't have to waste time on cougars, amnesia, and…

Bwwwwwaaaaaaaaaa…

Well, you and I agree: it's statistically survivable, sure. If a bullet does damage to only one side of the brain, misses ventricles, and is slowed down so much by the glass that it does not create as much cavitation, etc. etc., then it's possible. Oh, and getting into surgery in like 30 minutes also helps. There are…

I haven't seen any pictures, but I just watched it a few times on Hulu, and it seems to enter his cheek and exit through the back/side of the neck. Maybe it's survivable, on a cosmic scale of probability, but I'm not buying it.

Chilton being alive is so cheap. He was shot in the fucking face at close range.

A bigger slap in the face than a serial killer somehow stringing himself up in a barn, twenty feet off the ground, after flaying his own flesh? That was the moment in the first season when I checked out. But I can't disagree that this was a pretty bad episode as a whole; the plotting is getting ridiculous, even in…

True. Willa Holland is a pro at it; Katie Cassidy is a rank amateur.

Yeah, she has to sell a lot of silly shit.

Smuggler's Cove, aka, his ass.

Alasdair, you and I are clearly on different drugs. I really liked last week's episode and thought this week was kind of a drag: too much exposition; terrible makeup in the island flashbacks; a cloying score; and lots of waiting around for shit to happen. After the breakneck pace of most of the season, let's just cut…
