Glad to have you back, comrade, you're my favorite politically inclined dinosaur by far.
You're absolutely right about that, I never meant to dispute the first part of your comment. If the core audience of Grace & Frankie is people in Fonda and Tomlin's age range, then there's no problem. However, The Golden Girls appealed to pretty much all ages even though it was about older women. Not trying to say…
It's really weird how recreational use of weed is becoming such a staple of sitcoms these days. I suppose it makes sense in the sense of trying to use comedy to break social taboos, but something about it feels strange. It's almost like a crutch some writers use, as if to say "Hey kids, just because we're a show…
Oh, Arrow was definitely consistent during Season 4. Consistently shit! *bah dum ksssh*
The Legion of Doom strikes again! Eobard has recruited criminal mastermind START FREELANCING MAN to help in his campaign of evil! Rip and the team are doomed!
Legends S1 was airing alongside Flash S2, not Flash S1. Flash S1 kicks the ass of everything else on the street, make no mistake.
Arrow is definitely the best it's been since Season 2 (although I think Season 3 is actually really great until the last 4 episodes fucked it all to hell), but you're right that it hasn't gotten back to Season 2 levels. The most recent episode "Kapushion" though was absolutely on Season 2's level, you must admit.
The Hawk Drama was indeed shitty, but pretty much everything else around it was good. Leonard, Mick, Sara and Rip's character arcs were all fantastic. There may not have been a ton of standout episodes, but it was a hell of a lot better than what Arrow and Flash were offering up that year.
Footage of Will Smith filing his taxes would have been more compelling than his take on Deadshot, to be fair.
Legends of Tomorrow is really, really good about maintaining character dynamics and internal motivation 90% of the time, which is what makes an instance like this, where it actually counted, all the more disappointing. Let the characters grow! Just because he started out as a dumbass doesn't mean he has to end as one…
Yeah, even if the emotional maturity thing is debatable, the intelligence isn't. He should know just as much as Rip Hunter does about the inner workings of time travel, yet they still write him to be dumb, it's infuriating. And for what it's worth, I think he actually did become a lot more mature post-Chronos. He was…
Anyone who doesn't think Legends is miles above Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl is seriously kidding themselves, it's not even up for debate at this point. I'd go one step further and say that this was even the case during Season 1, which gets unfairly maligned around here.
This episode was, as Kate said, sadly underwhelming. I had such high expectations for "Doomworld" that in retrospect the show was never going to be able to meet them. Maybe if they had the time to devote more than just one episode to it, but as it stands the whole thing felt a little… flat? I mean, the world was…
"The Americans is a lot"
Do you count Bullock as the Sandy equivalent? He's absolutely the type who would walk in with bagels and called Gordon an idiot, just for fun.
The Galavan arc started in the season premiere that you mentioned you saw, that was his first appearance on the show. And yeah, you're totally correct that making Barbara a psycho killer was the first real signal that Gotham wasn't afraid to really pull the trigger on stories most shows wouldn't even dream of. Gordon…
Gotham is an amazing binge-watch, trust me. Season 1 is 95% shit (episode 17 still being that huge exception), but Season 2 goes full insanity and is all the better for it. Season 3 actually took that full insanity and started putting honest-to-god interesting plotting and characterization along with it, it's really…
That pretty much ended in the Season 1 finale, where Bruce figured out that they may have been complicit in a few dirty deals, but died because they were trying to make the city a better place. Season 2 is all about Bruce trying to find out who killed his parents, an arc that climaxes in Episode 14, and ties in…
Mr. Freeze is the focus of a two-parter, episodes 12 and 13 (right after the two-parter ending the Galavan arc I mentioned), and that same story introduces Strange, who is the Big Bad from then until the finale.
