It has in the past published some of the best authors of the day, including Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, Vonnegut, etc. Not sure about "journalism" in the sense of intrepid reporters investigating stories, but their interviews with authors and politicians have always been top notch. My teenage self, who was a young…

Every supporting character on Supergirl is an Iris West, and that seems like a huge problem for the writers.

I admire people who have the sheer will required to watch this show week after week. It's truly fucking awful. They could really dismantle the whole thing down to Benoist and rebuild without losing anything.

These movies look impossibly bad, and the CGI looks fucking terrible, too.

The whole "Smile" thing is super fucked up. I remember my dad complaining that women didn't smile when he said hello to them. Fucking asshole. I've also argued with douche-bros in the online comments sections of our local newspaper who see nothing wrong with saying shit like, "Hello beautiful," to random women who are…

Cool story, bro.

Ba-dum-dum!

I'm not off base at all. It's born out in a variety of fields, particularly medicine and public health. People don't stop doing terrible, self-destructive behaviors because of rational, cognitive choices based on the knowledge that such behaviors are bad for them (so-called "rational choice theory"). Study after study…

Reasonable. Logical. Same difference in the context of an AV Club comments section. The desire is for a passionless, reasoned, rational actor. That doesn't exist.

We all grow.

What's there to say? I voted for him in '12, and I'll vote for him again this year.

i09 is always a little hysterical about dissecting the motivations of characters on any show, as if they're supposed to be more logical than normal people. I think if I were in an alternate universe and met my wife, or a good friend or family member, it would be pretty tough to keep my shit straight if things went off…

FUCK YES. Finally saw this. Just awesome.

I suppose my demands for a show like this are pretty low, so it's hard to be too critical of its shortcomings. One thing that I did notice, though: After "killing" Savage, why not drag his body AND the dagger back to the ship, where you're keeping Hawkgirl, and do the deed there? She has to land the fatal blow, but…

So what's the play with Hawkman here? Do they later encounter Hawkman's 1975 incarnation? Are they going to encounter this character up and down the timeline, except now it'll be Kendra who remembers? Will they just dump Hawkman?

Best line of the night was from Oliver: "We've both grown." Hilarious.

Back in 'Nam, John McCain and I called sounding what it was: TORTURE!!!

I've always wanted a prequel series in which they explore the creation of the X-Files post WWII, the creation of the Syndicate, Dorothy Bahnsen creating the physical file in the 1950's, Arthur Dales beginning to investigate the unsolved files, etc. UFO conspiracy just seems like such a genre of its time…

Has to be Felicity's mom in the grave. Her proximity to Lance now that the cat's out of the bag is going to lead to her death, to teach Lance a lesson.

Super happy this show is back, but Tuesday night sure is getting crowded.
