I thought Bad Santa WAS a sincere character study? It certainly wasn't much of a comedy.

It's implied he led the other henchmen in killing Tim-Tom and Kevin, though that's admittedly unclear.

Given Dr. Z's story, is it possible that the Monarch's MOTHER was actually the Blue Morpho, and that video tape with his dad wearing the Morpho mask was just a bit of roleplay for the ladies he was about to bang?

Since he's using a laser beam in his procedures, I guess that technically makes him a super scientist. Bear in mind, the definition of "super scientist" was probably written back in the 60's.

Not quite that far. I'm pretty sure the finale, at least, was filmed after the trailer was released.

Well, those guys HAD just thrown down the bloody uniforms of four Skaikru they had killed, boasted about how they died slowly, and threatened the rest of Arkadia with the same.

Kane's mom seemed pretty decent.

Given Alie's comments about needing consent, I'm guessing she can only erase memories that she's given permission to erase. Raven took the City of Light chip to get rid of her pain, her memories of Finn were a source of pain, so Alie probably viewed that as permission to get rid of the Finn memories. Now that Raven…

The trouble with the ending isn't that there are alien monsters who spray poison gas from the sky. That's a great reveal.

I assume that the Time Masters have a protection detail around Hitler at all times, because every time traveler tries to kill the guy and mess up history.

Now that we're at the season's halfway point, we've seen most of the clips that were shown in the Season 3 extended trailer, but there are still a few we haven't seen yet. Let's go over what we know to expect in the back half of the season (SPOILERS, obviously):

Can we mark that down as the first time Pike was LESS brutal than everyone was expecting?

I want a confrontation between Clarke and Pike, where she says, "I remember you being a lot nicer on the Ark."

Seeing Grounders try the death by a thousand cuts on a City of Lighter would certainly be interesting.

Does besieging your camp, poisoning your water supply, and demanding the death of your leader (all while boasting about how they just killed four of your soldiers, slowly) really constitute good faith?

*SEASON 3 EXTENDED PROMO SPOILERS*

Eh, it's not like he uses his real last name when they go on missions, anyway, so it's not like anyone in the past would know.

I'm not sure if they should keep Snart. Depends on whether they can make the schedule work to have him star on Legends but still do some episodes of The Flash.

We are shown that Becca had at least one other scientist working with her on Alie 2.0 on the space station, and there were several others who knew about Alie 1.0 and were likely involved with it back on Earth, so it's not like she did all of this solo.

Or they have the books, but literacy is not exactly at an all time high.
