That's the problem when your show is taking care to make even the tertiary characters likeable — they can't kill anybody without me being upset. Even Chief charmed me tonight by weighing the risk of taking the marked CI bills and reluctantly deciding against it. He may be big, but he's no dummy!

Did anyone else share a knowing moment of sympathy when Coulson accidentally called Daisy “Skye”? It’s comforting knowing that even the show admits it’s a tough adjustment to make.

Jamie's not the main character, but he seems to have the most interesting arc so far; he's the (One-)Han Solo to Tyrion's Luke Skywalker.

I guess they must be resorting to the popular in fiction but highly questionable in physics edict that Terry Pratchett phrased as "What happens, stays happened." The future containing Eobard Thawne and all his machinations is still alive and reachable from any point in space-time before Eddie Thawne kills himself, so…

I had just gotten mine back when we heard Eddie's birthday message for Iris, which as Scott pointed out, had everything short of a line like "If I were ever to die, say by killing myself to foil an evil time-traveling descendant of mine who is hiding among you right now…"

I guess I agree with making Supergirl's universe separate from the main Arrowverse, because it neatly sidesteps the question of whether you really need a whole array of superheroes in a world where there's a Superman, Supergirl, and Martian Manhunter. But now I have so many questions! Did Krypton explode in the…

Anyone else get major Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 vibes from the scene in which the National City residents stand up for Supergirl?

Those "high gas prices" Crow points out, wondering if they're in Port-au-Prince…not so high these days. :(

Speaking of frizzy-haired ladies: the heavy metal band that Walter owes money to (who appear in an early scene and then again at the end) is a pre-got-their-big-break White Lion.

"I pursue the foreign policy Americans expect and demand the #1 military and economic power on the planet to pursue. And don't call me Shirley."

I'm pretty sure Lucy Lane isn't naive enough to pretend that aliens who lie don't have very good reasons to pretend to be just like everyone else. One only needs to watch how human beings deal with each other for five minutes to see that being up-front about your differences is where suspicion starts, not where it…

"S.H.I.E.L.D. finally shows us just how scary this season’s villain really is"

Somebody last season said that they hated all the Soulstice scenes, and I defended them by saying it's a good location for physical comedy to happen. The pen gag is a perfect example.

He kinda reminds me of Jonah (Ben Feldman), the male lead on Superstore, who's also a bit too much of a tool for me to become invested in the success of his love-life.

Same. It kind of reminds me of iZombie in that I like spending time with any/all the characters, even the ones who are pretty horrible people. I know Jimmy and Catherine's courtship is basically a plot device to complicate his will-they-or-won't-they with Sara, but I find myself getting invested in it nonetheless.

Hope you're feeling better soon. I agree with your choice of low-impact TV, too — after an episode of Lucifer, an hour has passed but nothing else has changed.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this grind.

Karnak is cool!

Quill has the most charisma of anybody on the ship, and it's his ship. That's why he's the presumptive leader of the gang. This is made more obvious in the movie, because Chris Pratt is much more charismatic than Will Friedle.

Absolutely — as we've all seen from the catastrophic failure of Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones, there's just no audience for a story that revolves around family drama and conflicts between exploitative upper-class white people.
