I agree with all of this, but I do remember that after only 2 episodes, Heroes was still the shoes that I hoped Heroes would be.

Ass-Pen!

Expansion of defense spending was one of the three components of AmWorks, along with increases in infrastructure spending and subsidizing the private sector.

But… There wasn't really any heat on him - he hasn't even in town when she was there hunting him, then; he and Thea made a special super secret trip from Corto Maltese to kill Sara, right?

Not "Fifty Slades of Grey"?

Midriff covering tops?

My initial reaction to the conspiracy - what is essentially a coup d'etat - is that there is no way there could be such a massive undertaking, one that includes the betrayal of not just the secret service, but staffers and butlers within the White House.

"The 2014 Dodge Challenger: So nice, you will, like, definitely get carjacked."

You're absolutely right - I thought that Jax was requesting that because he had something up his sleeve (I didn't understand what they were doing with the body until later, so I thought maybe there was a bomb or gun smuggled in there).

I liked that it was devoid of emotion. There was no grandiosity, no emotional final words, because his death was - ultimately - pointless. He died for nothing, and I liked that the actual death scene didn't try to make it into anything more than what it was.

Well, it'll at least be crammed into a couple of three hour long episodes.

Oh wait, I had something for this… something about an Emmy Rail? Come back to me, I can do better.

I agree completely - Twisty doesn't even really look like a clown, he just looks like a monster. Still scary, but not scary in the same way that a clown is scary.

I agree, but I didn't read his conversation with Felicity to be in that vein, at least not the way it was in, say the Spider-Man movies. Oliver's concern was that Felicity was a distraction to him (cf. allowing the GPS to be planted on him because he was justifiably preoccupied about their date). It's not just about…

She can be two things.

I'm with you on Nero. He confronted Jax, whose response was that Lin killed Tara. At some point, that stops being carte blanche for lying to your friends and murdering people, right?

Right down to the tattoos on the side.

Liked for the phrase "The Very Real Threat of Balloonmurder," which I will be repeating throughout the day. I feel like that should be an album name or something.

But, they buried all of the bodies, so there's no ballistics to compare, right? But the club left one bag of heroin there, so I'm sure Lin will be like "yeah, none of the guns and 90% of the drugs aren't here, but… cased closed."

I think the children's ages are misleading benchmarks for how much time has passed in SOA (although I agree it's a reasonable conclusion). It seems like every season has picked up almost immediately after the previous one has wrapped up, so it's hard to reconcile the idea that this storyline has taken place over 5…
