Foreshadowing? Who said it was foreshadowing? Did you even read my comment? It was SUPPOSED to be a stupid line, because it was said by (at that point in the story) a stupid character…he was supposed to come off as an absentee loser trying desperately to sound important…what exactly are you so mad at?

Sadly I did read the article. Based on your previous comments on this chain about it, though, I'm beginning to wonder if you bothered to…

There were some funny moments, but overall this was not a very good pilot. If Tina Fey's name wasn't attached to it, everyone else would notice this as well

This beautifully written, logical response is wasted on the writer of this article…as seemingly does anything that requires perspective and rationalization

he was playing the role of an absentee loser father who's desperately trying to reconnect with his son…most guys in that situation aren't the most eloquent when doling out advice…they even have him smile as he says it, because he realizes how lame it sounds…to not see a movie because you didn't like one line taken…

"The cringeworthy white-savior aspect blinded me to the cause-effect relationship that Linklater intends between Ernesto’s thanks and Mom’s subsequent breakdown, so that all I came away with until now was a vague sense of something was not quite right about a moment that seems superficially uplifting."

You're right, if a film is centered around a white family, they shouldn't have them help the lives of anyone who's a minority. Because…white supremacy? Sigh…

Guys maybe I missed this but is the first time we've ever had Melody in an actual scene? Was anyone able to gather anything from that blur with its hand raised??

"SNL sketch offends viewers who thought that SNL was a comedy show"

Yes. Probably why she discarded it, seeing as how Jarvis gave it to her minus the container that was keeping it at a controlled temperature…but I'm willing to go so far as to think the vial was never actually there to begin with. It was all a ruse in an attempt to build false rapport with Carter to get her to…

I love Broad City. LOVE IT. But dear lord, not everything that happens is a metaphor for everything else about the show. Can't the show just be really, really funny and amusing and fun to watch without needing every comment and action to be psychologically broken down for its spiritual significance to the series as…

Oliver can't beat Ra's. He lost when he challenged him. But Ra's will no longer be a factor if he steps down and gives his throne to Oliver. The whole point of the setup was that Ollie couldn't beat Ra's, which is why he had to rely on Malcolm's help if he wanted to face him again…

Someone dying is not a twist ending, and if you have a character die without moving the story forward it's little more than an excuse to get rid of someone you don't like. Ra's offering the his title is a HUGE twist. The only character I'm worried about is Merlyn. I really hope there's more to his scheme, bc that's…

the episode went out of it's way to reveal in the end that Ollie hasn't been thinking clearly or rationally sine his fall…that's what Diggle finally got him to admit to both himself and the audience…I also think maybe Merlyn's been orchestrating all of this since the end of last season in an effort to pull off one…

Good call…and by that logic he's also been responsible for Sarah and Ollie's death TWICE.

Couldn't tell if I loved the episode or hated it while I was watching it for a while, then finally in the last act, WHOA. Loved it! Good for Felicity, she deserves to be happy at some point this season. Diggle getting the truth from Ollie made a lot of his recent decision-making look a lot less absurdly out of…

if I could like this comment a million more times I would…don't forget about them having tom get divorced and trying to reboot entertainment 720 with jean-ralphio

I didn't believe anything he said. I think we can all assume he was lying about destroying his inventions, and I'm almost certain the vial that was given to Peggy did NOT have Steve Rogers' blood in it. It' snot like anyone ever tested it. They just took everyone at their word. This is a world of ESPIONAGE! Tssk,…

Dear Carter Bays and Craig Thomas - THIS is how you write a sincere finale for a show that rewards the fans who've stuck by it for its entire run, instead of smacking them in the face and leaving a bad taste in their mouths

Man it doesn't take much to be qualified to write for avclub, huh? It was a mini-series, and you're wondering why they didn't go out of their way to force more "independent female allies" into a story arc that already had a very focused beginning, middle, and end? Do you know anything about story structure? Agent…
