Jean Grey / Pheonix was about the only good thing about that movie. Because she was actually right. The professor had done something horrific to her in supressing her true self in favour of some "nice" artificially constructed personality. Cyclops was basically sleeping with her while some "well-behaved" fake…

I know our Oliver can be a huge jerk sometimes but somewhere I have a soft spot for him.

I've just started to put it down to US media's inability to ever actually cast people of the right age. Sometimes I watch something filled with what I presume are university students and then wonder why they're sitting in a classroom like a secondary school and then I realise I've been had again.

Now that would be a fascinating and awesome twist. Next episode opens with Barry staggering into Star Labs where the rest of Team Flash are…

And as a straight male I can tell both of you that you're missing a whole extra level of how attractive she is! Trust me! ;)

More likely they did an evaluation between two options:
1) Endlessly introduce dialogue and details forevermore which don't actually contribute to the characters or plot in any way and also force repeated variations on "now I must reveal my true face" every time a character gets close to another.
2) Accept that we wrote…

Draco and Hermione should have ended up together. A future, no longer evil Draco makes a waaaaay better partner to the brilliant and hopelessly forgiving Hermione than Ron Doofus Weasely. There's a poetic quality to Draco finally falling for a "mudblood" having outgrown the prejudices he inherited as a child. Plus…

I didn't realise insults had to follow the dictates of fashion. Hell, I still call people idiots and that term has been around for centuries - how out of date am I? :)

Also, on the subject of Tracy, I'm going to coin a new TV Trope right here, right now. The Conservation of Genius. Namely, of the three qualities: Genius, Good, Aware, a character can possess any two. If a character is both a genius and good, then they must be socially or physically clueless. If a character is a…

You know what I really hate about American TV? All the awkward moments where they feel the need to recap something that happened three seconds before because of the many and random ad breaks that ambush the viewer. Killer Frost: "Bring Tracy to this address or I kill Cecile". Next scene, Iris: "So you're saying that…

I guess my hopes of a King Shark - Gorilla Grodd romance arc in the next season are dashed, then. :(

Analogy does make sense: "You're an important to the plot side character who the heroes need to rescue."

I'm okay with the degree to which the show objectifies women because I don't think that degree is very great. On some level ANY sexual viewing of person is objectifying because you are seeing that person in terms of your sexual needs. That's true of men, true of women and any other categories you wish to add. If you…

Lucifer gets a Season 3. Rejoice! :D

You specifically may not be, but Comics are very in-fashion at the moment. Have been for a while.

What we see of the billboard is a chest-level section of it. It's definitely not Superman.

I worry about Trump lowering corporate tax drastically. I worry about Trump bombing Syria. I worry about him sending warships to North Korea. But I think him mandating that TV shows aren't allowed to depict God as a villain is pretty unlikely. Really, in this day and age that's not exactly edgy - The Dark Materials…

It does namecheck Neil Gaiman at the end of each episode in the credits and whilst someone unfamilliar with the comics would not necessarily pick up on the comic connection, I would say anyone who is would automatically do so.

Anyway, I'm flogging a dead horse here. I can see why people would enjoy the show. I. Just. Can't.

Sometimes I feel truly blessed that I don't read comics. What I have learned from AV Club comments so far is that if I had read comics I would:
* Not enjoy Lucifer
* Not enjoy Preacher
* Detest the Watchmen movie because Rorschach is too cool / it lacks a giant squid.
* Be unsurprised by any villain reveal on Flash, Arrow…
