"magical" creeps.

Stream of consciousness while watching.

The main problem with the episode is that there was no growth. Amethyst has gained self-esteem, but that's stuff she did in other episodes. Making the climax Amethyst thanking Steven for the memories was a really weak payoff.

Agree with you that the review was rather harsh on Mon-el. Even if Mon-el was overreacting, the show did plenty to shame him over it, and marking points of the episode's grade just because one character was acting problematic doesn't really make sense to me if the episode is still entertaining as hell.

a) Steven gets this already. He struggles with it though. He's an idealist who only wants what is best for everyone, thinks that nobody needs to get hurt and that everyone can get along with everyone else. But at the same time, he poofed Bismuth and locked her in a bubble, then when he was unable to reason with…

It's just a rule that whenever Barry visits Star City, he has two seconds to pull Oliver out of the way of deadly bullets/boomerangs.

Pretty great start to the crossover, full of fantastic fanservice. Blew me over with just how many different plot threads they were trying to weave together—did not expect Lyla having to navigate the tricky world of military politics would be on Flash.

Episodes like this are what cements Steven as my favorite character in the show, and one of my favorite protagonists.

"Given how female-driven Korra was, it’s disappointing to see this series adhere to the heavy gender imbalance of the original Voltron. The writers are clearly setting up Princess Allura (Kimberly Brooks) for bigger things down the line, but having just one woman in the core cast isn’t a great look, especially when…

The square to cube ratio. When an object doubles in height, it becomes 8 times more massive but only four as strong. That means that if you weigh 150lbs at 5 feet, then doubling in size to become a 10ft giant would make you weigh 1200lbs…and you'd feel the same as if you were normal size but with a suit that weighed…

> People may draw comparisons to Jason Aaron’s Thor, a complex royal family dynamic being only one of the similarities the books share.

If only Rebecca Sugar was writing Wonder Woman.

The show's target demographic is girls, ages 5 to 14. It won't have the "family" appeal of a show like My Little Pony, but don't see any reason it won't be decently popular among the target demo.

I think that the reviewer has really missed the biggest change from the retooling.

So Barry kidnaps and knocks out a 100% innocent and good man, then impersonates him to get close to the victim's wife and family, and then is indirectly responsible for getting his victim's father-in-law killed.

I think I finally figured out Hater's arc with Dominator. He's going to bend over backwards and hand her the universe on a platter…then realize that even though she's cute, she's a heartless jerk and is never going to return his feelings.

"Booyakasha." No exclamation point.

Wow, I think the review completely missed a major part of The Hole: Hater wasn't just being mean for the sake of being mean. He was getting his revenge.

I thought this was one of the weakest episodes. It throws Max under the bus as he goes from pragmatic and ruthless businessman NOT-Lex Luthor to mustache twirling two-dimensional villain NOT-Lex Luthor. His plan was just needlessly complicated and villainous for the sake of being villainous.
