Joshua Jackson needs to be in more things. Although admittedly I only know him from Fringe so I need to ask whether that haircut ever worked or if the affection for his Dawson's Creek character is in spite of that.

Agreed - I haven't been able to rewatch those episodes because for me, they come down just a little too hard on the creepy/gaslighting/queasy side of things. Jon Hamm is great in the role, and I definitely appreciated some of the jokes involving/delivered by him, but the character is so disturbing to me I can't quite

I liked Racists for Trump, but I wish there was just one on-air acknowledgement of "and…we gave him airtime last fall." I mean I know that just as corporately mandated as having him host is the corporate mandate that they never talk about it, but it makes all of their criticism of him ring a little hollow.

AND that they pulled the ridiculous "You can't park there!" "Keep it!" joke. Every time I start to get a little annoyed with how on-the-nose some of the humor is in this show they just keep going and pull it back around. I just love how fully, earnestly committed everything about this show is.

I liked it just because bad connection is such a stupid shticky plot point and in that way completely in Galavant's wheelhouse. If any other show had done it I would have gotten annoyed but this show really embraces its idiotic cliches.

He has definitely never been to New Jersey, or he would have figured out that there was a pretty obvious way of getting to Amy and Rory in 1960s NYC without teleporting directly into the city.

I tried to do what I usually do, which is stabilize my emotions after watching the republican debate by watching Jon Stewart, which was surprisingly ineffective last night.

I'll give you Sam Worthington, and also Garret Hedlund because I'm not entirely sure who that is. But go watch Spartacus and then see if you still want to talk shit about Jai Courtney.

I hope it was part of the plan, because otherwise that was a ridiculous "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" moment.

Oh…um…one AND A HALF actors who are not Amells!

How dare you. The CW has AT LEAST two sets AND three completely separate actors who are not Amells.

Did anyone else notice how Cavanaugh broke a little bit when Felicity was having her "drop the mic" moment? Because that was all kinds of adorable.

So you're saying this is all a ploy to make Batfleck more plausible?

For real, the one thing my suspension of disbelief really couldn't take this episode was that "how are we going to get to Nanda Parbat?" was a freaking plot point.

The big thing about the new suit I'm not sure I like is how much tension it takes out of the show. With the black ninja suit, I was legitimately worried for Matt every time he took a punch, because most of the time, those punches went right through the flimsy fabric. With this new suit, I'm not as worried for him,

Yeah, the second Owsley mentioned his own death as being the only thing that could put Hoffman into play, it was pretty obvious that he wasn't going to make it out of that scene. I found it pretty satisfying, since I've been waiting for Fisk's irrational rage to lead to something he couldn't get out of, that would

I'm really starting to get to the point where I'll watch anything DeKnight does on faith alone.

My absolute favorite part of this show is how much everything hurts. They let you feel every punch Matt takes, exactly how hard it is to bring down the mooks. Even in the scene with *SPOILER* Nobu, which is about as mystical ninja-y it's gotten 11 episodes in, the fights still feel visceral in a way almost nothing

That's such a good point! I thought something was off about the way she was speaking at that point, but I put it down to Verbeek's accent slipping or something. Such a great little moment, where she lets that little bit of modern slip out.

Interestingly, that was the first time I took Ra's seriously. That old "make the resident badass scared" trick actually worked; seeing Malcolm totally, sincerely terrified like that, with no artifice or ulterior motive, made me finally appreciate what Ra's meant to these characters.
