Of course Damon has Klaus on speed dial. The amount of ransom demands in season 3 alone probably used up all of their minutes.

Just the entire back half of season 2 starting the second Elijah shows up is just fantastic.

Well I'm glad Tyler returned from trying to murder a pregnant woman. Let's all just pretend that never happened. Seriously.

I nominate Silas's knock knock joke as the shining highlight of the season.

I'm not sure where this fits with the Originals (although it would have been great if Damon said something snarky about New Orleans almost getting destroyed by a small apocalypse two days ago). I'm a little confused as to why Klaus and Rebecca would come back and Elijah wouldn't. I understand they probably wanted to

The second Elena started her utterly condescending "I forgive you" I was rooting for Katherine. Klaus was the only one smart enough not to gloat over his enemy's death. That never works out for anyone.

CBS should at the very least make a series of joint promos with Holloway and Emerson. And if this show actually lasts, I could see a crossover happening.

I really enjoyed the structure as well. I think too often on the show the Doctor miraculously figures out what's going on, refuses to tell the companion, and then waits for a big reveal, so I liked that the audience got to figure out the mystery at relatively the same speed as the Doctor and Jo.
But good lord is Jo

The part in season four- the Poison Sky I think- where the Doctor is fooling around with the gas mask in front of the UNIT crew and asks "Are you my mummy" always completely cracks me up.

I just finished Carnival of Monsters last night and was really disappointed it hasn't been covered here yet. What did you think of it?

Yeah- it was revealed that the Hyde personality had been a mental patient who was given an involuntary lobotomy and brain chip to force him to be "good" and he basically constructed the Jekyll personality (based on his dead brother) as a result of that. It wasn't great, but the idea that Hyde was the dominant

They can just go back to endlessly documenting whatever the Queen family is up to at any given time.

I personally would have liked the scenes to have been The Flash, the mask, the Slade reveal so the thematic progression could have been New Hero is born, Superhero is affirmed, Supervillain emerges to challenge the new status quo, but I do like that they chose to end the half season on a rather positive note instead

I would say that getting almost blown up in Korea was the "How" of Don Draper, getting raped by that woman was the "Why". Of course it wasn't suave or romantic. It was the moment Dick Whitman decided he didn't want to be Dick Whitman anymore.

I'm going to go ahead and say all of them

Or how the two gay characters on the show are named Sal and Bob. It obviously means nothing, it's just sort of weird

Do No Harm chose the last episode of its run to become really weird and sort of interesting. I'm not saying it was a good show, but if they had played the finale as the second episode and just used that as the springboard, it could have been at least ok

The only qualm I have about this episode is that they should have switched the last two scenes. "Arrow through the eye" is a way better cliffhanger than "Oliver gets a new little mask"

With the birth of the Flash- it must be really weird to be those people out there who watch this show with little or no comic book knowledge. Like "oh hey, all of a sudden there's a this cute new CSI character. Oops, he got struck by lightning and died" and the Arrow team probably aren't going to mention him again

Given all the awesome things this show can do with these characters, they could introduce Aquaman and I would trust them to make it amazing and badass
