The "my secret vulnerability is lead" schtick seemed pretty dumb when it came up the first time in the season. It's not like flying lead isn't one of the most popular attacks used on our planet. It's kind of like me wondering if everyone else on earth is a vampire because I can kill you with a stake through the…

Loved this. American Gods has been providing some incredible moments, all over the place from the power & pathos of Mr. Nancy's monologue to "Get out of my house, you zombie whore!" The laughter at the instant transition from "You'll never get caught!" to "How did you get caught?" was awesome.

Good point. Also, it only matters if the world doesn't end, which given all the comments from the series creator about how he intends to leave the show in a way that there couldn't be any followups, I kind of think the world may really end. But if Laurie did believe, like she implied, that she didn't believe in any…

Fair enough. And I've got a bit of insight into medical professionals, yes. I realize it's a terrible thing of me to advocate for her to have originally killed herself. Objectively, in my opinion, it doesn't change that her actions were, if the world doesn't end which I think it's going to, the actions of a…

It was a great episode but it also reminded me of why I didn't like Laurie in the first place. Laurie's pretty realistic of a character in that, like many people in the world, she is an awful awful person who would've done the world a favor had she successfully killed herself the first time around but decided to…

Pretty damn awesome episode.

If the reviewer (and the show) wants to make comparisons and draw
parallels to the real-current-USA world then it seems that missing a
hole this large is fair game. It's not like this is an obscure point of
law—we've just been beaten over the head for over the last decade with
it.

Argh. Reviewer missed it. There's a big giant gaping ginormous hole blown in this episode and it's completely unnecessary. Here it is: President Wonderwoman freely stated that she was born on another planet AND then proceeded to use her Presidential authority to order around the DEO and destroy the ship, damning…

I agree that it's clear that growing up with a single father home instead of a single mother home inculcated Fitz with a very different set of morals and ethics. My problem is that we're never given any reason for *why* being raised with Dad turns Fitz into a monster. Why is Fitz's dad like that? Is his Dad really…

I apparently didn't explain that clearly enough. It's not that I think there's a second framework, it's that I think the episode was written to arouse doubt in the minds of the characters as to whether they're "really" out of the framework, especially since it was established that May can remember the Spa she was in…

Supergirl seems super undermedicated when they write her like that.

Lincoln! He even tried to follow the scientific method (to an extent), and believed in writing down his knowledge so it could be examined & shared. He didn't believe that the answer to every problem is "stab it until it stops bleeding" which point alone puts him in the top .01% of thinking grounders. Alas poor…

I'll miss first season Jasper in particular. He was a great guy. The show broke him and never figured out how to either fix him or to allow him to be productively broken in the context of the narrative. I can't believe Murphy went down like a chump. Jeez.

Prediction: Murphy is going to show up next week and antihero the shit out this situation. His reward will be being forced to take a leadership role in the bunker. "What? No! That's not what I want, I'll be horrible at this and I want you all to go die in a primefyrefestival!"

I agree. It's just getting pretty frustrating that the go-to move for Supergirl to make whatever point they want to make is *insert massively horrible OOC writing and possibly Snapper*.

I think you missed a few important things.

Supergirl is like Santa when it comes to violations of civil liberties being excused by a pretty story. Only supergirl apparently lacks anything like self-control and a balanced personality considering how many times she literally flies off the handle here. Nice to see them almost sorta realize that. And since when…

So Jasper will get to die as he lived since season 2: A whiny little bitch who annoys everyone and puts his friends at risk. And Raven, we're supposed to respect her brave decision to go out on her own terms despite the multiple shots of her clearly having conversations with people who aren't there. Pretty sure we…

Octavia is totally going to fight for Skaikru. Under the 'rules' Roan lined up she's the only Skaikru warrior who would even have a ghost of a chance. Plus, hey, they've been hammering pretty hard against nativist ideals of late and the insular grounders would certainly reject letting someone born in Skaikru…
