I think that the writing of the relationships between her and the other female characters is definitely on point, but your comment just made me realize how much I want a Felicity/Thea investigation subplot.

On that note though, I am dying for a Felicity-centric episode that really explores her backstory. The show did a good job this season of starting to hint at that, and the things you mentioned about her not being comfortable around these upper-class women is a great catch about how they're starting to color in the…

Whatever side she's on, I sure as hell don't want to be on the other one.

Don't forget the people who feel it to be their sworn duty to explain every. single. development. onscreen to the rest of the theater.

As long as they leave Arrow alone, they can do whatever they want with their increasingly unnecessary movies.

Well, you see, there's already two women in the cast, and we wouldn't want to overdo it.

"Truthiness" was on his very first episode, so that has to be some kind of record.

Just spitballing, but it seems like the big difference is that Stewart/Colbert tend to stick to the news cycle and only occasionally, when the news cycle is kind of dead, do really in-depth pieces on things that might not be immediately in the cultural conversation. Judging by the strengths of this episode, it seems…

Don't think so, so maybe I should rephrase that as "When is Sean Maher coming back from the dead?"

It is just as cliched - sorry, that was what I was trying to say, should have been clearer. Leslie always avoided that trope because she never seemed to want it all; it wasn't so much that there was some ticking biological clock as that the clock just didn't seem to be part of the fabric of the show. So I guess there…

Can Sean Maher come back from the dead?

I agree with you, but at the same time, she and Ben also seemed like a fantastic depiction of a happily childless couple. I guess I thought it was a little weird that they've been married for, what, two years of show time? without ever bringing up kids, but they did the whole surprise pregnancy thing with Ron. The…

I don't know…I don't trust the odds on anyone when there are still 3 episodes left in the season.

Honestly, I don't know if their relationship would have changed all that much…he might have gotten in fewer motorcycle accidents (and can I just say that between this and Felicity asking Oliver why his energy drink is in a syringe, this show is boss at pointing out how shit Oliver is at making up cover stories), but I…

Seriously, like halfway through the episode, I was thinking about how great Susannah Thompson is…and then they go and pull this. I guess the main cast was getting a little unwieldy, but…man.

I really liked Stephen Amell's acting in that last flashback scene, because it managed to put a new negative cast on Moira's mothering in a way the show has never really dealt with. We knew she's shady and secretive, but more than that, she's such a force of nature in her mothering that you can probably put a lot of…

Glad to see this unnecessary spinoff is taking every unnecessary feature of the thing it's spinning off of.

This review has me cautiously optimistic that it's going to fill in the "lone good CBS comedy" hole left by pre-finale HIMYM.

I adore their Much Ado, that was actually the first time I was really able to appreciate their chemistry and what Tate can bring to the table (without some of the Donna affectations that can sometimes distract from that).

The Ninth Doctor needed someone who would adore him. I feel like he would have spent five minutes with Donna and then turned the Tardis right back around. I've definitely warmed toward her over the years (mostly after seeing Catherine Tate in other, more subtle projects), but I don't know that she would have worked…
