The samurai-bots are obviously for Eastworld.

It makes total sense with what preceded though: instead of the badlands revenge that Tony ended up taking (i.e. shooting someone), Edward does the more urbane and civilised version (i.e. passive aggressive snubbing).

"the books slowly recognize that they're pulpy good fun and not, yknow, dramatically compelling in anyway"

Bringing in the Darkhold is definitely so they can do another tie-in to the movies (i.e. Dr. Strange) this season.

"The walkers can’t really drown, and we’ve already seen they can float, so won’t they eventually wash up on the shore?"

Those musical cues, though? That’s on him.

I thought Lin dropped the ball on the action here. I think he was so excited about moving off the road and completely escaping the confines of gravity that he lost all sense of visual perspective. So many of the action scenes were perfect examples of why an untethered camera should be used sparingly.

I think this interpretation is, frankly, ludicrous.

He's a child molester, but with a twist! All the neighborhood kids stay away from old man kiddie-puncher's house…

I think Calvin was threatening in that he desperately wanted to be seen as threatening, so he'd do crazy shit in the hopes that people would fear him… while still looking like Pee Wee Herman on steroids.

Spitballing the many ways this season would have been better without that stupid serial killer plot:

Have to agree with the class here: if the grade is meant to be reflecting the show's own standard, then this definitely wasn't an "A" episode of Banshee. Hood's reveal to Brock was a long time coming - but, just because the pointless serial killer bullshit led us to that moment, it still doesn't justify the time…

"You should totally ruin your career because I have trust issues! If you really loved me you'd do it!"

I was thinking wait for rigor mortis and take the direct approach.

Hannibal fetishised its violence for aethetics rather than pure exploitation though. Like the killers themselves, it was more about what the violence communicated about them than dwelling on the suffering of the victims. It was more amoral and grotesque than exploitative.

Not really, but he's one of those guys who refers to himself in the 3rd person (with his full name) a lot:

Probably because he's an established DC villain and they want people to remember the name for future episodes.

I thought he was essentially telling everyone he has an idol, which made no sense since he already had immunity. Then the Jason vote also made no sense. He's an enigma.

Supergirl didn't seem particularly impressed with Flash's powers until they involved ice cream.

Well, if they're going comics accurate with the costuming, then both Luke Cage and Iron Fist are going to have some massively plunging necklines too.
