Oh, well, that makes sense as her characterization in this episode is wholly in sync with what one would expect from Victorian!Clara.

Which would be great if that were a thing everyone knew.

Yes, because no one has ever opened fire on a crowd while they were watching a blockbuster action film. GREAT JOKE!

Uh, yes it is. That conversation would never have happened with a male Watson. Gregson might have thought it, might have dropped hints, but he wouldn't have said, "Dude, you in danger," to a guy.

Yeah, me, too. I really enjoyed it.

Which is canon, actually. Ollie was never one of the best fighters in the superhero community. I mean, he's going to be better than most people on the planet, but he was never supposed to be The Best like Batman or Black Canary. He's supposed to be The Best archer.

Yeah, no. Cute guys who look good in a Thor costume and can build stuff? Hot.

I don't know why that is when guys who whine incessantly about the choices women make are SO much more attractive!

That's 'cause a year later, Gladiator won the Oscar. I know! A movie released in the spring won an Oscar a whole several months later. The amazing long-term-memories people of that era must have had…

"Of course, we were SUPER-high when we wrote that scene."

Yeah, but that was just dumb luck, and there was fallout with his partners feeling stomped on. That will continue to fallout.

Don should have been professional or at least considered the fallout of his actions but he didn't and doesn't. Jaguar was a big get that cost SCDP a lot, and he threw it away with a carelessness that belittled the sacrifices made to get it because he didn't like a guy who treats women JUST LIKE DON DOES.

Right, *he* didn't want her to do something that was her choice to do and now *he* has taken action that invalidates the sacrifice that she chose to make. He didn't ask her if that's what she wanted; he didn't ask anyone. He stomped through the situation, not like her partner (in business) or friend but like someone…

I LOVE Damian Lewis and he is brilliant in this show. Good/bad/whatever are all very nuanced for all the characters. I would recommend you give it a chance.

I admit to squeeing several times during this episode, just generally over how great it was and specifically for the Ted Kord reference and awesome Felicity moments.

Yep, that was the cloister bell.

The very first line Bram heard was Susan in the very first Doctor Who episode "An Unearthly Child" telling Barbara and Ian that she'd named the TARDIS and what the letters of the name meant.

I was fully expecting this, but then no word is safe from the multi-entendre when you're talking about Zeus.

Because feminism just sort of popped into being like Athena from the head of Zeus in 1970!

Goddamn it, I miss Julia Sugarbaker (and the divine Dixie Carter) more than some of my own relatives.
