I said recently (kind of jokingly) that Selina should steal Tabitha's whip. But now I think her becoming Tabitha's protege could be much cooler. I also recently said that Penguin had become kind of pathetic this season, but it was really nice to see him become cool again this week. And a long time ago, maybe even in

I feel like Penguin, previously one of the best things about the show, has become pretty pathetic, lately. While I never thought it made sense for anyone to accept him as leader of the underworld, at this point he just seems utterly delusional. But what I've been hoping for the past few weeks is he'll accept himself

I liked it.

I found this plotline weird, because I always thought she was smart. Then again, I do have a tendency to conflate snarkiness with intelligence.

Well yeah, though I don't recall whether I've ever seen her in the comics; I don't get to read them much. I just know her from the animated series, where her character is much different than here. Not just older, she was a friend of Bruce's parents, and when they died, she took care of him.

Earl Johnson is the name of Fishburne's character on "Blackish," though he's more often just called "Pops," so I think that if he played Lucifer's father, it would work on two levels, even if both of those levels coincidentally tied to this random guy with a belt buckle coincidentally having the same name as a

Earl Johnson? That makes me kind of hope that if and when we meet the real God, he'll be played by Laurence Fishburne.

I'm worried that Selina will get to Wayne Manor and try to kill the clone right after the real Bruce returns, and Selina won't believe he's the real Bruce.

It's a shame we couldn't see every character ever in the finale, but there's just been way too damn many.

I would love to see an episode where Charlie and Johann team up for some ridiculous plan to deal with Diane's (perceived) evilness. Or whatever.

Lots of good stuff. But I felt sad for Chloe that Maze's line "Reminds me of home" had to go over her head, not really knowing where "home" is for Maze.

When Selina turns into Catwoman, she should totally steal Tabitha's whip.

I don't even remember if it was ever established what happened to Fish and her group of freaks. I could swear they escaped and then… were just never mentioned again, which has been bugging me for months.

I kind of suspect Angela Petrelli did it. But they'll never catch her.

I love how much brainwashed Coulson is like the real Coulson. He was always such a fanboy. And I loved the scenes with Mack and Hope. And May seems so much like the cold, calculating character she was presented as at the start of the series. Really, the only one who seems completely different from their real self is

Before it aired, I kind of imagined the cold open would have everyone coming back from a funeral, which we were expected to think was for Gina, before Gina joined them and said something totally Gina-ish about whoever's funeral they'd all just come from. But the way they did it was probably better than my idea.

Fitz being so high ranking in Hydra kind of reminds me of Fargo being director of Global Dynamics in the alternate history that happened in season 4 of Eureka.

The Mitch and Cam bit was hysterical. The Haley and Rainer bit was pretty good (and I liked how it started with telling the server to bring out the cake in five minutes). The Jay-Gloria-Manny bit was good, but I was a bit disappointed because there was a moment when I could have sworn a woman walking by on the

Ah.

Hank and Wu were a shock, but I feel no particular likelihood one way or the other for whether or not they'll be resurrected. It would be nice, of course.
When people were talking about all the powerful objects that had been broken throughout history, did anyone else wish someone would mention The Dark Crystal?
I will
