My brother is a hardcore gamer. I'm not. For over ten years now (jesus), every year we make a trade — I will watch him play-through one game in exchange for him watching 1 season of a show of my choosing (last year: I picked 'The 100' he made me sit through the three hour psychosis that is watching someone play

It's true! The blowing out the flame thing.

Yeah and the scene was cute. It's just like one of six things we know about Felicity's past so it was a little glaring.

I read that Guggenheim thinks all criticism of Ray stems from people who thought he stood as a roadblock for Felicity/Oliver. Yeah, that's wrong. Here are things he knew about Felicity without her telling him: employment history, where she was at any time, dress size. Ray gets obsessed. Ray's a stalker. I think it'd

They acted the shit out of the fight in the lair about trust. It's now my favorite Oliver/Diggle scene. Really well written, really tense, perfectly done.

And Buck Compton on Band of Brothers.

Hahahaha. I would just love if the writers just decided to embrace Ray as a stalker and it's now part of his character. Every time he likes something, he stalks it and doesn't see how that could be creepy. That would actually sell me on him.

It was kind of amazing that after the fight with Felicity, Double Down just wanted to get out of town and live. Like he suddenly realized he could die over this.

There's something to be said for the fact that bringing Sara back, after a year dead, aka the world's biggest plot contrivance, actually seemed in-character for Laurel. Like she just does this stuff. It's nonsensical, heavy-handed and should make me eye-roll but instead it was 'yep she would do this and she would

I like that when it comes to defending herself, she is not afraid of destruction (throwing the bomb arrow last season, spray and pray firing this season). Nor does she seem to have the same moral code Oliver does. She seems completely fine with 'it's him or me' approach to taking down bad guys. Felicity is not

I kind of liked the dental hygienist quote. I could see like little pigtailed Felicity bonding with her dental hygienist, deciding that's what she wanted to be, and using her genius brain to immediately learn all the teeth.

Or the Got Hamm? which is the Best of the Jon Hamm Milk Ads.

So agree. Everything is better. It's actually giving the future death real stakes for me because I don't think I can go back to grim-faced, broody Oliver and miserable team. Or possibly partly-dead team now that Diggle and Felicity are getting some kickass characterization.

It's pretty difficult. You have no traction on your heel. You can take off the heel and wear it like a flat, but to wear as is — your foot can't really move and when it does, the heel is a pin and that pin will dig into the dirt every time you put your weight on it. It's like continually running out of quick sand.

But as a high-level executive, you'd expect that she would get that she would be trekking through a park/jungle/dinosaur world (what are we calling it?) and have chosen her wardrobe accordingly. Like every other character did.

So yeah, good marketing on all the actors saying it's a 'labor of love' then . . .

Ugh, Night Nurse. I can't argue. But still . . . 50 million.

Jesus, Daredevil cost $50mil? How? Granted the writing is good, but Arrow has better fight sequences, effects and overall production value . . . Daredevil was punch-lawyer…

Rococo Zephyr has to be mine. It's just one of those songs I want to put on and listen to for hours on repeat because it's so soft and warm. And I have. A lot.

Really? Because I watched the pilot and the next episode and couldn't stand it. The soundtrack is great, the idea is great, but I just dislike all of the characters . . . what am I missing?
