Good episode, but to me the whole thing was slightly undercut by the fact that, while Sherlock's actions clearly led to Bell getting shot, I wouldn't say Sherlock was culpable in any particularly significant way. We've seen cops be assholes to people many times before, and just because this time it was Sherlock and…

Court scenes were terrible and made no sense. There was no weight or gravitas to the trial, and doing it on a set right out of a high school production of 12 Angry Men didn't help. I realize that the legal aspect isn't a focus of the show, but at least try.

I got the impression that the writers intention was to insert a wedge/shake up the Felicity/Oliver dynamic. On the face of it it's sort of ridiculous that Isobel and Oliver hook up, at least from Felicity's perspective, and I can get why she'd say something (the subtext of "why not me" was a little painful and perhaps…

I get why they didn't kill Tyler off (he's not going to die in some random 3rd act break on the spinoff) but Klaus leaving him alive seemed particularly out of character.

I particularly enjoy how Lizzie and Mike from Homeland are apparently the only people who can respond to any Blacklist related threats. Bomb at the airport? Well lets not have any of the 240250 TSA agents arrest the guy the second he's going through security, lets drive directly onto the tarmac. Bomb in Houston?…

Very enjoyable! I hope that Sara sticks around, and doesn't just randomly die so that Laurel can Bruce Wayne into the Black Canary. I don't think Laurel is that bad, really, and I think Katie Cassidy is doing an (sort of) okay job given that she basically has to reboot her personality and how she feels about…

Also not to super nitpick - The Woman was easily my favourite Elementary episode of the year - but how does Holmes not realize Watson is being called away by Moriarty with the telephone call about her mother? I realize they aren't adapting the stories, but this is literally the exact same plot from The Final Solution,…

A really enjoyable episode, even if the nominal procedural plot made absolutely no sense. The Macedonian currency doesn't become worthless because they are going to join the EU monetary union, the government just exchanges the old currency for the new one at a fixed rate. If you think about it for even half a second…

I don't see how Dany would be any worse than anyone else (and certainly not of the other contenders for the crown). She's genuinely compassionate for her people (to the point of insanity when some shit goes down later), and reasonably intelligent. Plus, dragons.

I normally don't care that Shawn is a jerk and an idiot when convenient (the racist stuff… erm) but a lot of this stretched credulity, even for a fairly ridiculous show. Shawn is hyper-observant but misses the fact his girlfriend has been going on dates for two months. He narrows down two suspects on basically the…

I find that a lot of the plots on the show are underwritten or just meander, but I think that the second episode with just two worked better (although the show has done A B and C plot episodes that have worked). It's a shame, because while the steak truck can be boring, both the Kerkovich plots seemed like they had a…

I liked this episode a fair amount, and think the show's reached a greater level of consistency since the first Huntress appearance. The serialized aspects of Arrow are much more interesting I think (which is true of most shows), particularly because none of the villain of the week stuff has popped as much, especially…

This is the first Loiter Squad I've seen and I thought it was great. The sketches were sharp (other than Dark Shark) and the editing - the way they were strung together, not the fake blood - was super impressive, with few dead spots. Randomness/non sequitors makes for great comedy, and nothing here was random for the…

Oh man I spent the entire hour trying to figure out what was going on here. What case were the two firms fighting each other on (which seems like it would be a huge conflict of interest given that the firms were going to merge) that was evidently so hypothetical that nary a courtroom was seen, and was basically just…

Okay I may have missed this but how on earth did Kinsey find the bail van to blow out the tire. Raylan grabbed Jody, who then briefly escaped custody, but then he was in a trunk forever, going I guess to Tennessee. How on earth could Kinsey (lets face it, not the sharpest knife in the shed) then know when/where/who…

I thought this episode was mostly funny, and extremely well edited (the bit with Jess, Nick and Schmidt at the table staring each other down comes to mind in particular). With that being said, that there was about 7 minutes between Jess trying to flirt her way into the parking spot and her subsequent insistence that…

Narration in general is pretty hackneyed, it's just an easy and unearned way to provide exposition or make a point. I get why it worked in the original SATC - it was Carrie writing her column - but I don't really think it works here. There's a reason why basically no shows use it - even the Vampire Diaries abandoned…

Secret to making The Carrie Diaries way better: imagining that Carrie grows up to be Carrie Mathison.

I don't think they did him any favors, a couple times it seemed like the show was messing up the cards and he was kind of stuck, and on some stuff, like Bobby Moynihan as Janet, he was forced to look back into the set… obviously a pro would have been better, but he seemed game at least…
