"Oh, put another penis in it!"

Yeah…was a bit too drunk to use Occam's Razor on this one.

You crazy vegans. I'm happy to cut out dairy for the most part, but I'll never understand the very premises undergirding veganism.

You're doing God's work here, Alasdair (by the way, that's an awesome name). Even though I disagree with the grade and some of your quibbles, this was a great review.

"What I like is that he's being shown as extremely conflicted and unable to resolve everything he now knows, as opposed to Digg and Felicity, who have a few objections now and then about their own involvement but never really doubt that Oliver's actions are more or less for the greater good at this point."

Definitely some potential here. I certainly could get down with this over Elementary.

Except his acting, which I found wanting repeatedly in this episode and others, strikes me as considerably worse when he's acting defenseless on the island.

Jack Bauer most certainly counts.

"I really like that Oliver's trying to make Tommy absorb as a basic fact of his reality now that Oliver and the Vigilante are one person. And I like that Tommy's running away from dealing with that."

They really should have conveyed this better, or maybe there's a point to the ambiguity. Nevertheless, "demon" is so often synonymous with "every kind of fucking monster created for X show" on every other show that I'm not sure. But I'd wager that Natural Blues is right and that the demon tablet closes the gates of…

Good call on the Lucifer callback. It's not a "similar vein," it's, well, the same vein.

You're not alone. I shall flagellate myself for not having sussed that out already.

It has remained eminently watchable. The overarching plot isn't the same after season 5, but it's still enjoyable. In true Supernatural fashion, the first and last 5 eps of each season have been great.

Without a doubt the best Deadwood quote, cocksucka.

If we're talking about sheer gravitas and competence and remove billionaire playboys and characters from supernatural series, Raylan Givens ranks pretty high. By my own criteria though, I think I'd rather be Don Draper.

Is Psyche any good? Or is it just another B-quality TNT/USA procedural?
