I think Arrow S3 and Flash S1 are much closer in quality than at first glance (Flash's Metahumans of the Week episodes are really boring imo), but I agree with your point that Arrow is plotting genuine character arcs whereas Flash is doing cooler plots, which it remains to be seen if that's sustainable (not saying it…

Oh, that's "Corruption," which, yeah, is probably the worst TCW episode (the "poison tea"). It has some random group I've never heard of (maybe EU fans know if that was a new creation or had a backstory) as opposed to Black Sun.

Pretty cool to have a guy who's gone from "good guest on Doug Loves Movies making jokes about Galactus and Yogi Bear, and shouting "DENVER YEAH!" to "star of an upcoming movie"

Even early in its run I always found each season had about 10 average to decent episodes, 1 knockout and a total disaster or two.

Arrow was up 3-1 with Flash's point coming in the Week 3 Snart episode. Then the blind date episode and the Light/Zoom episode tied at 3. Can't remember each week at this point, but Arrow has had 6/7 weeks at a B+ or better, while Flash has had higher highs (Harry Wells and the blind date) and lower lows (Jay+Caitlin,…

Catch the new spinoff "Laurels of Tomorrow" where Laurels of different points in time share awful ideas with each other.

Umm, Oliver, not sure restoring Starling Bay is what your mom had in mind with her swimming pool initiative.

I doubt it, only because S1 got fairly dark. There's a morbid twist is one episode, the rebels executing an attack at a public event, someone falling to their doom and S2 had a villain flirting with Ezra, who's obviously a minor. It hasn't exactly played with kid gloves on.

Hey, I'm with you on that. The sad part is that while Season 1 wasn't necessarily good, it had parts that worked and narrative momentum. This season? Edit out a character here and there and they go in really any order. These last few have been (repeating myself from last week) like those "get to know each character"…

The back half of S1 through the first three episodes of S2 is worth your time. Otherwise meh. Watch the pilot (because it's the pilot), skip to "Rise of the Old Masters" then go from there. If nothing else, watch the last (3?) episodes of S1 and the S2 premiere "movie." This show has really only been good when it…

"There’s some arc in The Clone Wars that involves [Black Sun] but it’s mostly forgettable."
Uh, no, that's the awesome Maul/Mandalore arc (otherwise agreed with and enjoyed the review)
Just watched this at 2.5 speed on YouTube because it was so bland. Stuff like Ezra repeating the code to someone who *just* ignored…

No catchy phrase, but needed a place to share this all-timer https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I faded away from it when the shooting style got all bright, which coincided with a dip in quality (an understandable one, it was a long run)

Upvoted simply for the CTE joke

Staaaaaa-tic Shock (woop woop)

Young Justice is at least in the conversation for me. Has about a half dozen absolute home runs and only one real clunker.

I'm in the unpopular minority that's actually willing to make the argument that YJ>JL/U. At the least, it's certainly better than JL, if we're comparing 52 episode runs.

The Superman theme is by far my least favorite. I'm not sure if Batman Beyond's is great or so bad it's great, but I love it (GREED/CORRUPTION/PEOPLE CLUBBING), and I still find myself singing Static Shock's here and there. It's Lil Romeo's greatest contribution to society.

I realized MMPR is a relatively easy show to binge for selective people (I'm a completionist) because you watch the multi-parters and can basically skip anything that's a standalone since there's next to no continuity. Curious how it changes once the old format changes but I tend to only watch it in chunks once or…

Inside Out was the first movie I saw in theaters since…The Dark Knight Rises? (scratch that, I joined extended family for Oz The Average And I Don't Remember What Happened), and I really enjoyed it despite the repetition of the "towns" falling and not loving Bing Bong. Surprisingly Disgust was my favorite part (not a…
