I'm really wondering if the fourth season renewal means that the show will be cancelled next year (or, at best, get a truncated fifth season to "conclude" its story), or if there's another plan for it. The former is what used to happen, but, aside from the fact that I simply don't believe AoS has any value as a…

For the record, tonight's Elementary episode was written by Paul Cornell, who has written several Doctor Who episodes as well as tie-in novels and radio dramas (he wrote the book that the "Human Nature" two-parter was based on). He's also a comics writer and novelist.

How about first addressing all the damage done by MCU characters in movies they do acknowledge, such as Age of Ultron or Winter Soldier?

Around here doctors will recommend removing one embryo if there are triplets, because the odds of miscarriage are so high. They'd certainly recommend it in the case of quadruplets.

Because it's an obvious question? And because it's irresponsible to make people watching think that carrying so many babies to term is a strong possibility when the smarter, more responsible course of action would have been to give some of them a better chance?

I think I still haven't explained what I mean. My question was, why, as soon as she saw the first ultrasound at 2-3 months and realized that there were four fetuses, didn't the doctors go in and terminate one or, more likely, two? That's the recommended course of action, because the odds of miscarriage are…

That wasn't my question, though. My question was, why would she even try to carry all four embryos, instead of reducing their number as soon as the first ultrasound showed how many she was carrying.

But did they say that she was given this option and refused, or did they just not raise the issue? Because if I heard about someone who was having four babies, my first assumption would be that they would (and indeed should) reduce the number of embryos, so I would have expected at least some acknowledgment that this…

Because the odds of carrying a pregnancy to term drop considerably with every additional embryo. Twins is doable, triplets is not recommended, quintuplets is basically trying to win the lottery - the odds of a miscarriage are very high, and even if the babies come out viable, they're likely to have serious health…

I don't watch this show, but please tell me there was at least an explanation for why Wilson's character is carrying all four fetuses to term?

So, Legends of Tomorrow is going on break for two weeks. Does that seem wise? Especially since Flash and Arrow are coming back next week and they tend to give LoT a (much-needed) ratings boost.

I had to laugh at the opening scene, in which Alan Dershowitz is basically teaching a How to Get Away With Murder class. I'm pretty sure his point about providing a compelling alternate narrative has been made, word for word, by Viola Davis.

It's amazing how this episode manages to persuasively argue that making OJ try on the gloves was actually the second stupidest thing Chris Darden ever did (or didn't do, as the case may be).

Oh, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, did you have to? This was a really funny episode, and the Jake-Terry plot was fantastic, but did you really have to go to the "disabled person is actually faking so they can do evil stuff" well? It's gross and ablist, and deciding that the "circus trash" must be faking his disability because…

I think it's pretty clear that the rabbit hole only works for people who already used it to travel to the past. Otherwise, anyone who happened to walk through that one spot would end up in Al's storage closet.

Felicity's style is at least distinctive and consistent, but yes, I don't buy for a minute that she would dress that way (or be able to afford to). On the other hand, Laurel's wardrobe is so nondescript that she might as well have been wearing the same clothes for the last four seasons, so things could be worse.

One thing about the microchip scene: I appreciate that Claire is not a TV Republican, i.e. someone from an alternate universe where Republicans elect people who are socially progressive and not racist or mean to the poor and whose Republican-ness is almost entirely an informed trait (recent examples include Fitz and…

Indeed. It's very rare for women on TV to have their own distinct styles, and for that style to reflect their personalities. The Good Wife does it well, and despite its hair issues, Jane the Virgin is also pretty good at it. But most shows with multiple young, attractive women tend to dress them all the same, and…

As you say, it's because, like Superman, Supergirl is meant to be dowdy and unsexy in her day-to-day persona, and alluring as a superhero.

So what are the odds that Supergirl actually engages with how scary the concept of red kryptonite is? I mean, you've got this person with incredible powers who can do literally whatever they want, and the only thing holding them back from becoming the world's worst monster is their innate goodness, and there's a…
