It doesn't take long. It's like 18 half hour episodes total. And well worth it despite Amy sometimes making you want to punch a pillow because she's so awkward.

Was thinking of Abe

I think the cosmic balancing of the universe allows Josh Peck, Drake Bell and Miranda Cosgrove to have no more than 1 solid career on aggregate at any given time. So like, Josh is on a TV show, but he has to be a lesser part, otherwise he would be too successful.

Dang, didn't realize Rebels starts tomorrow. Excited for that.
Started Person of Interest and it's fascinating because even though it hasn't gotten into serialized stuff yet, you can tell there's some ambition even amid cases of the week. It's an interesting watch juxtaposed against these new network shows that are

You hit on something there: Arrow can focus episodes on other characters in a way Flash can't. IE Suicide Squad was Diggle/Lyla/Deadshot, you had Birds of Prey too. Could you do a whole Caitlin episode, or a whole Joe episode? I don't think you could. Barry is always the focal point.

The range on Arrow is just better to me. Look at how good Diggle was as a comedic character in the crossover. (And to be fair, Amell has had more time in the role than Gustin to deepen the character.) With Flash, it mostly feels like the same beats get hit each episode. That' range is what made Harrison Wells so good

Yeah that's definitely in there. I think the depression plot that followed soured me on the initial shocker.

I mostly agree about the show's cheesiness. Arrow isn't perfect but it has a core of actors who can sell the dialogue when it gets hokey (for the most part). With Flash, I often find myself kind of bored, mostly due to the "introduce metahuman, fail, stop metahuman" formula that it falls into. It's a lot like Static

Haven't watched tonight yet but I doubt Eddie, since the actor is over on Quantico (America's sexiest agents, according to the ads!)

I had a guess but the person I'm thinking of turned out WAY too weird to be the person you're describing.

"OK great, now show me what face you'd make if you saw a giant asteroid coming to erase the existence of your species."

Other top 10 nominees (since you said 10):
Digimon (take your pick: Wizardmon's Gift, The Battle for Earth, Enter the Dark Masters)
Yu-Gi-Oh (multiple parts but Yugi vs Kaiba in the coliseum is pure intensity)
JL/U: Starcrossed
Superman TAS: Apokolips…Now, Part 2
Young Justice (Homefront, Failsafe or Before the Dawn)
Jackie

This has been my theory as well, except they let you believe she was on Alderaan and then she pops up in a movie or something.

My favorite moment of the episode is when Dahrk drops in on the city braintrust, the woman starts walking away and Lance goes "wait, let's see what he has to say!"

My initial guess was that he could digitize himself or something, because he alluded to being able to get off the train.

I don't know, there was just a gravitas to Bennett's growly "see ya 'round, kid." Their shared history gave that season such a weight that no future villain can match.

Oh no. I just realized that it's the salmon ladder. Damien knows where to hurt Ollie the most.

I kind of thought Matt Nable was the problem. I mean, he wasn't bad but just didn't have the fire in his belly. He was a little too calm, cool and collected.

She's already had a drug problem though, since Oliver killed her dealer.

I know next to nothing about Blindspot, but I presume the answer to her tattoos is gonna end up being that she put them there herself and erased her own memory to save herself (or something)?
