That was obvious even before the "reveal", actually that whole plot point was pretty obvious. Still cool though.

Currently rereading Brubaker's Captain America run, which is still great. Read the first trade of Busiak's Avengers run. It's weird how it's almost a completely different writing style to some books that came out only a year or two later. Loving it though. I got dug into Jeff Parker's Thunderbolts run, which is great.…

Bitching implies that no one here has offered good reasons why they disagree. Which hopefully is the purpose of putting a comments board at the bottom of a review, to generate discussion both about the show and about the points brought out of the show by the reviewer. So a discussion of the review is pretty much the…

No. Just no. Every criticism leveled at this episode can be leveled at each of Arrows episodes.

This is also a man whose fundamental delusion this season was to self-mythologize.

Ok Oliver we get that you didn't like the show, and everyone else did, but your critical distance is fundamentally lacking in these reviews that they're becoming bad parodies of themselves. Please don't write the reviews for season 2. Let someone else do it

57 blanks vs 53 dots. Also, at least two highly subjective categories. This infographic is both ridiculous and not particularly conclusive. You could probably do a better one with "how similar are well-liked prestige shows". Hacks

Where are the strong non-victimised men in this show? I see none.

I'm continually surprised how low the grades are for all of the episodes of this show. They're not low enough to spark outrage, but they're all as low as they possibly can be for a given episode, with the exception of this one which could conceivably be a little lower. More than that, they're lower than a lot of…

A quick google search of the two terms will assure you that Oliver used the correct one in the review.

Or Sally.

To be fair, there are very few characters in this show, male or female, who are not victimized by some brutal shit.

This doesn't stop consumers from paying to have faster access to the internet. It stops service providers from charging websites for providing faster connection speeds to that websites clients.

yup, Andrew Haigh at his best

I can't even with this argument. Is there too little diversity on television? yes. does every show need to be diverse? no. The real issue is why great, realistic shows that focus on non-white, non-sis environments are getting produced and aren't well-received when they are. The answer is not to cancel a show that does…

Honestly, I think that that is an issue with the writing about this show then. Even though it rings true to me, I've seen the show and contextualise the writing. But there isn't another tv show like this one, there are maybe 4 representations of gay life anywhere, in any medium that work as well as this show does and…

Damn. I just watched Episode 2 and was sincerely hoping that the sinking feeling in my stomach was an anomaly. This show definitely does police procedure better than courtroom procedure.

I didn't much like The Whiskey Tree story either. The rest has been pretty decent though

Corporal Hicks from Aliens?

I'm interested in what you thought the political message of Elysium was?
