If by hysterical, you mean awesome, then yes!

Alluding to how easy it would be to pass for what passes as normal in Portland if one were Vesen is the best justification for why there may be so many Vesen there that the show has come up with. Portland's weirdness = Sunnydale's hell mouth.

That was my first thought when I saw them!

I'm not a TVD watcher and I got the sire bond without any exposition on it. Far more confusing is the business of how one does or does not make a hybrid (although this has been clarified for me up thread).

Well, but he's not a main character (yet). That would be like saying all of the ancillary characters need to have the same kind of storylines as the main characters. I was more remarking on the fact that this particular character int have to be gay, yet the decision was made to make him gay and have it be totally…

So baby-girl Michaelson can make hybrids out of non-doppelganger blood because she was never bespelled. That makes a certain amount of sense, given the other factors.

I, too, had issues with how quickly Cami has been forgotten.

Okay, let me see if I have this straight:

I think the most refreshing thing about Josh as a character is that being gay is not a plot point. I really like it when television shows embrace diversity (racial, sexual orientation, whatever) but without making it a big deal - it just happens to be a trait of this person who is interesting to the story for other…

And what are doppelgangers? (I mean, I know what they are, but in the context of this world!)

The Tyler exposition for us newbies was particularly stilted. Plus, the flashbacks they showed would never have made me think he was a good guy on TVD; I assumed he was a big bad over there too. I found his entry into the plot abrupt and disorienting, but I see why it would be awesom for TVD viewers. His appearance…

If that girl is Red's daughter, who is the blonde girl who's picture he stole and who was in his flashback at the house? I think the blonde girl was Red's daughter and the girl on the computer screen may have bad something to do with her death and subsequent liquificiation at the hands of the Stewmaker. Red gave up…

Yes, but you can bet someone is keeping track of it out there. THE INTERNET SEES ALL.

I found myself hoping that Wendy had aged enough to be another love interest for Neal, as that may have had potential to be an interesting story.

I'd love it if they went for an entire different angle on the love triangle thing and skipped the Mary + Bash. It is what is so expected, and it's always refreshing when those expectations are subverted.

It's not just ensemble comedies; it's the exception in dramas as well. On the Sleepy Hollow reviews, it's been noted many times how integrated the cast is.

I thought this was easily the strongest episode to date. It was nice to see another side of Elijah (those youtube clips from TVD were illuminating!) and the exposition was kept to a minimum.

Yes, I agree it's unlikely that The Blacklist is going to go this route anytime soon, but hope springs eternal.

Hey, it seems to be working for Revoluion! When all else fails, blow up your current world and do a reboot

after flailing for most of the season. Reign is better out of the gate than Secret Circle (IMO)
