The scene where he's talking to Ford and slowly slipping between various personas was one of my favorite parts of the early episodes, and he was kind of a loose end in a finale that otherwise did a great job of tying things up. Very pleased to hear this.

All the more reason to hope the DCEU and any of its plans for a surely inferior Deathstroke collapse by the time it's viable to have him come back again.

It sucks so much, but I mean… it's been a few years, and the writing quality has improved dramatically. I'm constantly holding out hope that someone can extend the olive branch to him and make amends for his last episode's mishandling.

Fair enough, I was overstating. I liked the third season far more than most, other than Sara's death as a plot point and the very last episode batch. The fourth season was… really, really bad, though. Everyone acted like idiots, the flashbacks were meaningless, the final act was incoherent at best, and even the best…

I never completely warmed up to Katie Cassidy, and every time I looked at her Black Canary, I just found myself wishing Caity Lotz didn't have to be shoved off to LoT (which has sucked away A LOT of the Arrowverse's best supporting cast) so she could instead rejoin her home show. This news does not delight me.

Jeez. I have almost no hope for this movie, and I like making fun of the DCEU's failures as much as the next guy, but this is painfully desperate reaching for something — anything — to mock. It looks nothing like what's being described even if you squint, and the "joke" is childishly uncreative.

Yes. YES. I fucking loved this episode.

After so many assassinations, Star City residents have come to accept that anyone in the office of Mayor is like Schrodinger's Cat — unless observed directly, they are simply both dead and alive at any given time.

"while I'm still straight, I do have some bi-sexual tendencies in certain areas"

There seems to be a pretty even split between male and female romances for the female Ryder, so you're covered there. Though it makes the lack of M/M romance options suck even more.

Until it turns out in a shocking twist that said non-speedster villain is really a puppet of Godspeed, who in turn is shockingly revealed to be the single new character they've introduced that season.

Oh man, the wait until I can buy this game is torturous. I've been hyped for it since its announcement; the combination of Yoko Taro's peerless storytelling and Platinum's gameplay is the best partnership in gaming since Kojima and Guillermo del Toro came so close to making Silent Hills.

I haven't actually watched it yet — I want to catch up on the other Marvel shows first — so I have no horse in the race on whether it's terrible, just the victim of critics with something to prove, or somewhere in between. I'm still checking out the reviews, though, and I can't help but pop down here when I see yet…

"We're only three months into Donald Trump's presidency and it's already cliche to frame TV and film criticism within the framework of Trump's America."

That has to be one of the most flaccid fistfights I've ever seen. I wanted to believe the poor choreography and direction was just another critical exaggeration, but goddamn. I feel like I just watched awkward teenagers trying to do a fight scene on a stage lit by a single flickering light.

Stefanie Joosten, the model / actress in question, was actually quite enthusiastic about the character and design. In fact, she did her own playthrough of the game in which she sporadically goes into more detail about it:

By "accuracy," I mean "with everyone who needs to be moved and without also bringing the bullets or The Eye." He hesitates for a second to process the situation, and those bullets are ramming straight into Melanie, Syd, or himself. Hell, since they're still moving in agonizingly slow motion, he might genuinely just…

I'm not sure he'll be able to wake up, recover his senses, and accurately teleport everyone in the span of about a millisecond before the bullets hit. Melanie is in the room right now, and she has the opportunity. Plus, again, the blood on David's shirt has to come from somewhere.

So Melanie is definitely going to resolve the problem by heroically standing in front of the bullets, and it will turn out to be her blood on David's shirt, right? Between her inability to interact with anything in the room and Oliver pointing to the space just in front of David and Syd, I was so sure that would be…

Keep watching, and perhaps skip ahead a bit. After the first season or two, it leans much more heavily into its sci-fi elements and gets much more serialized and compelling. I dropped it when it first came out under the assumption that it was just another "case of the week" slog, only to be repeatedly informed by the…
