The ridiculous nature of the crime and Joan's ability to solve it notwithstanding, this is a really solid episode. Enjoying Liu's take on Watson and this suggests that the show is willing to let her out from under Holmes' shadow so that she isn't simply relegated to his sidekick.

Would have really liked the episode had the three robbers not been complete archetypes. Less time with them and more time on the Wesen Council would have been preferred.

Felt there was entirely too much "deja vu" or predictable plotting in this ep. From the Sparty vs Crixus battle, to Gannicus' submission to Sibyl and the return of the Tibs vs Caesar bitchtalk, it all felt like we were retreading.

In our review, we actually think that Bailee Madison is atrocious - similar overacting in line delivery and histrionics as Henry (which is strange considering she was much better in her two previous appearances).

That was an amazing final scene - control of the board is completely reversed in just a few minutes. It's quintessential Spartacus: hold onto power because it's incredibly fleeting.

The lack of progress on the island is frustrating after 'The Odyssey', but this episode is pretty darn jam packed. Two really good twists mixed in with a few problem parts (if Malcolm is really so uber genius, wouldn't he be a bit more aware of the assassination attempt and the Triad waiters?)

Anything centering around Andrea was bound to be frustrating, but she's essentially become the new Lori: the character we all love to beat on because she's so poorly written

In our review we agree that this show has gone from dark to darker with these recent developments.

Really enjoyed this episode: there was a better balance between the characters and the case, which wasn't as obvious as the others (although we know the fiance is guilty the minute we see him, that's not the end of the case).

We definitely fall into the "pro-Felicity" camp, although - yes - the one-liners can be distracting.

Didn't like this one AT ALL. The Dallas/Noah/George pieces were completely obvious and bereft of humour, while the Tessa/Wolfe storyline seemed headed one way and instead ends with both of them single. Har har? Agree that it feels completely rando and not at all in a good way (because Tessa and Ryan are actually good…

Did he see it twice? Isn't Malick like 3 hrs and Bad Teacher 80 mins?

We actually really appreciate your pov, Myles, as you've clearly given this a lot of thought. We're unsure about the issues you've identified with Hit List (perhaps because we haven't seen next week's episode), though the hints we're getting about the relationship between Jimmy and Kyle is intriguing enough to survive…

Well, he kinda got let go, so…no

We liked the gung-ho gusto of the pilot, even if it is desperately trying to be metatextual for The CW demograph (it seems to proudly wear its Scream sensibilities on its sleeve).

Absolutely hated this episode. After last week things looked like they were on the mend, but everything in 'Sacrifice' was overly telegraphed, poorly plotted and shot using leftover FX money from Once Upon A Time.

Ohmygod dying about the fire escape/Tommy Wiseau comment (we just saw The Room on Saturday). And oh so true!

Liked some of the quieter moments as much as the 3D-splatter fest. In our review we discuss the ongoing tensions between Maggie and Glenn, which is nicely realistic considering how devastating her experience would have been. Hurray for some realism!

Definitely not the series' best (our review: http://wp.me/p2MfmI-2b8). Even if they were simply trying to lure in Superbowl viewers, we would have liked to have seen more than the traditional T&A / murder spree approach.

It's a good stand-alone-ish episode (though we don't know that we enjoyed Randall or Lindsey enough to chase them for an entire episode). Ava's moral debate over Ellen May was more interesting considering she usually only self-defends or acts out against men, not helpless (naive) women. Should be interesting to see if…
