Unrelated, but damn it, people, all-cap Comic Sans is not an acceptable approximation of comics lettering.

Oh, I loved that. "I used to be bad at math." "Oh, Grandma…"

Really dug the structure in Darryl and Tina’s relationship drama—down to the Greek chorus and everything. (“What a tangled-ass web we weave.”) And the way Tina shaped Darryl into the perfect boyfriend only for Darryl to tell her what, for all I love her as a character, she really did need to hear—“No! That guy doesn’t

Not necessarily. The term's often used more broadly—for any harm that comes to a character primarily for the sake of the protagonist's development.

Yeah, I haven't watched Arrow in some time, but popping in out of curiosity about the header image, I'm surprised they're trying to sell Lance as being unable to tell Laurel in disguise from Sara. I mean, I see why they need it, but making Lance this selectively blind is the kind of transparent device I felt the Arrow

I think you're right. But if that had been the headline I wouldn't have minded. I've had the pleasure of saying that very thing once or twice; it's pretty sweet.

Pouring one out for Jimmy, probably the most competent henchman Boyd's had (though Devil and Johnny are possible contenders, at least until their respective betrayals).

For my part I’d actually switch The Knick and Banshee. The Knick is good, but just a little too mannered and predictable. Banshee, by comparison, is absolutely batshit, and that wins out for me.

That bag of nails was especially inspired.

I was thinking of "Coquilles," yes.

Nice to see Jakov's henchman again. Wonder if we'll ever see Rodney…

I was on tenterhooks watching her talk to Boyd.

"…Peacock…" "You're kind of a dick, huh, guy?" Garret Dillahunt at his absolute best. Walker's sheer scuzziness is intriguing — like they combined Quarles with Hot Rod Dunham, or something, and topped it off with a generous splash of Dickie Bennett.
And Buddy Garrity!

Always like when Gene's being oblivious with Bob. Like "Best Burger": "Geeeeene!" "Daaaaad! What are we doing?"

Bob and bad puns — another great Bob’s combo. “And I said, ‘I’ll grow into it!’”
“I mean, Dad’s a family member, but he’s ranked like fourth or fifth.”
“Wait, we can quit? Quitting is an option?”
Teddy roaring “You didn’t cover your beans?!” was absolutely fantastic.
And now that Gene’s said it, we know it’s real — Logan

"Common USAge Mistakes" always makes me smile.

Still quite a few, though, no? Surprised the show has him burning through them so quickly.
