I mean I do like Aubrey Plaza…

I mean I WANT to like it. I just couldn't connect…Did it click with you right away or do you need to watch the entire pilot first?

Ikr? I liked that one! They ditched it for The Last Tycoon which got terrible reviews.
And not being able to see it anymore is strange. Maybe the creator is trying to sell it to another streaming company like Hulu?

Is Leigon really top notch "perfection"? I watched the first five minutes and it seemed to be weird just for the sake of being weird.

I used to laugh at these reactions but then I visited relatives in India last year and was treated by an impassioned speech by my (very well read and highly educated) uncle where posited that homosexuality was a disease caused by the over use of antibiotics in food in the Western world.

She asked him ON THE RECORD. Literally no reason to do that if she wasn't planning on outing him. Plus, she gathered evidence by sleeping with him which is incredibly unprofessional on SO many levels.

He seemed to know what he was talking about when he was defending Diggle (man is that a weird episode to rewatch when you know Chase is Prometheus) so I'm guessing his law degree is real.

She was going to out him though. Only reason she didn't was because she was grateful over Oliver getting her job back and Chase kidnapped her because she could change her mind.

Did anybody care about Susan? Like at all? Even Amell couldn't bring himself to muster enough energy to look like he cared when he rescued her.

I'm halfway convinced that Helix works for Talia or Chase/Prometheus. Susan was just a distraction and them kidnapping Oliver was just an excuse to get Felicity further mired into Helix's clutches. Did you see that lady smile when Felicity basically signed over her soul in exchange for help with finding Oliver?

That's…not a high threshold to pass.

The Arrow writers are in serious debt to Josh Segura. In the span of on episode, his performance of Prometheus alone was enough to elevate Season 5 into the serious shit storm the writing had doomed it to the past few episodes.

What HBO shows do they have again? Doesn't HBO have their own streaming app? Doesn't that seem counter intuitive to their interests?

No it just knowingly elected a demon clown man baby instead.

Yeah that BuzzFeed article was sponsored by the show so its basically an advertisement.

I'm not sure what your point is. Americans only like white people? Or American people are only white?

Sigh. Not to bring extreme examples into this this but I GUARANTEE you that 50 years ago, Hollywood excecs were claiming that the reason they had white guys in blackface playing roles rather than actual black actors was not because they were racist but because they were looking at the bottom lines.

Exactly. It's a self fulfilling godamn cycle. Plus, I'm not sure why everyone is convinced why the role should go to an established actress rather than giving an upcoming Japanese actress a chance. The guy in Avatar was living in his car before he was cast for Christ's sake.

Really? The only explanation? Trust me….Sexism is playing a huge role, nobody just wants to admit it yet.

I've heard you suggest this before and I continue to desparately want this to be a thing
