"There’s an increased emphasis on stealth in the fight sequences, with nearly every—though not all—outpost of armed goons capable of being taken out silently and with minimal ammunition"

I don't know if I knew about that comment the first time I watched it but it's possible the writing/direction was more to blame than his performance. Either way, I hope they can do something good for his last film.

I have mixed feelings about this. I love Casino Royale and liked Skyfall but Craig seemed pretty over the role in the last film.

I'll admit the apparent age difference is somewhat uncomfortable for me but since Armie's character is 24 and still in school the power dynamic is not as uneven as it could be.

I find the Casino Royale suits nice but a little baggy.I prefer the trimmer fit of Fords suits in Quantum.

I've noticed Craig's casual outfits in the movies are quite good.

I agree. Casino Royale was at least somewhat influenced by Bourne but it still had it's own style and felt like a Bond movie. Quantum of Solace was much more overtly influenced by Bourne.

I'm disappointed 300 is the next entry. Casino Royale should have been chosen for 2006. It's the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films.

I can't think of a specific example off the top of my head but I've heard of cases of showrunners changing plots because they saw some fans of social media or forums figured it out. Though I think changing plots just because some people on twitter figured it out can potentially lead to twists and conclusions that

Many in the audience have always been able to figure out twists and conclusions to stories. The internet just makes it more obvious.

"How many of them can remember AOL? Pagers? Dial-up internet? Green moniters on computers? Big blocky headphones with the giant plugs in libraries? Bill Clinton?"

"And we’re just finally getting out of that moment, thanks to movies, like Mad Max: Fury Road and John Wick, that put care and craft into making sure that we know what’s going on, even in the craziest action scenes"

It's not uncommon for a new show (which is was for many CW viewers) premiering to lose a significant number of viewers from the first episode. And Arrow and the Flash also lost viewers this year too.

I guess more important is a very subjective term, though I don't think the supporting characters are all equal in the eyes of the TPTB.

The show was always going to lose a good chunk of fans to the network switch. Of course that's not to say storyline decisions, characters leaving and writing didn't contribute to it, they probably did, but I don't like how often a gay storyline gets the bulk of the blame when a show with many flaws loses viewers.

"We saw a whole lot more of Alex than of James this season and I'd like to see that corrected."

J'onn, Mon-el and Winn were in the musical crossover and Martian Manhunter participated in a fight scene. Cat, James and Winn were in the crossover last season. Alex is the only supporting regular character besides Lena who has not been in any crossover.

I'd prefer they use that extra screentime to give Kara and Alex more scenes together instead of giving Alex less to do in favour of James.

What hasn't gelled about the sister stuff?

I don't think we will ever see that because Flockhart is not going to return full time. I could see the show focusing on Kara,Alex, Winn and J'onn, and though I like some of the other actors better than you do, maybe it needs to because this year has felt so unfocused.
