If Simmons could re-engineer a smartphone I have trouble believing that "knock a larger hole in a rock and prop a solar panel up against it" would be an overwhelming challenge.

Moonlight on earth does that - the moons on that planet are clearly reflecting a lot more light than we get during the night. Also like I pointed out there's a bright glowing vein of rock sitting right there in the background of the underground shots. Knocking a hole in that and sticking a solar panel in there…

Sure, but if it's a question of charging batteries and you have literally years…

So apparently Simmons is actually as superhuman being, because the fact that you can't go 100 hours without water doesn't mean that normal people totally fine for a hundred and then suddenly start having health problems. It means that seriously she would be very, very ill and mostly incapable of moving on her own…

It's really clever of them to use this episode to set up and kind of but not really explain the Firestorm character. That way when the new show with him on starts people won't go "Wait who?" they'll say "Oh yeah! It's that guy from the one episode of a different show six months ago!".

"Really hot but not intimidating" seems like the sort of character that's not especially uncommon. But yeah he's really going in for it, and with actresses that look enough like each other that it's a bit bizarre.

It's bad either way, but Abigail is right there is a long history of medical experimentation without consent on black people and there are substantial racial overtones when the show presents it as just a casual "hey whatever I took their blood without asking".

For some, Gotham is a goofy show that embraces the cartoonish
elements of the Batman canon, and the comic book medium in general, and
thus shouldn’t be taken too seriously. For others, Gotham’s silliness is a symptom of bad writing, bad character work, and an inconsistent tone.

Ok but to be fair it's not like Barry seems to have any trouble killing those villains if the prison thing is inconvenient this season. So I'd think most of them would be walking pretty carefully.

"Wait… didn't that guy already die?"

So, this would be the third time they've tried this right? There's the one in the '80s and the one just six years ago or so and now this one?

I'm not sure there were any reasonable hiding places he could have put it where she couldn't have just casually gotten it and put it in her cart just as easily. I mean, the trash can was especially convenient but just being in there unnoticed with the cart was enough unless he'd glued it to the ceiling or something.

What? That would do such a thing!?

I think there's at least some grammatical precedent for using a negative as an intensifier for a bad thing, like "he wounded me badly" only means "he came at me with the knife but then slipped and flopped around and really I only have a minor bruise - he did a terrible job with that 'wounding' thing" when people are…

The witch was moved to the break room so that when he went by he would set it off alerting Jake and have to quickly hide the crown before Jake made it into the room.

I was sad at the end. If Amy really wanted to get back at Peralta and Holt it should have been Hitchcock or Scully up there on the roof taking credit for everything while she hid back in the corner and quietly laughed at them.

And so far his successes have mostly had to do with exploiting his way more detailed knowledge of Peter's family, who she wouldn't know well enough to see what was coming. That's less "I'm a better operative than you" and more "I have a secret you don't know about".

Well I mean we didn't see the dress in a long shot only a sort of medium-close one, so the cleavage might have just been out of frame.

Are we really supposed to see Grace as being relatively smart for her age? She's always struck me as being sort of.. dim, or at least in comparison to the other Floricks.

Although it's worth noting that in countries where those incentives do exist a lot fewer people die from organ failure than they do here, and that's with a kind of a sketchy system already.* A decent publicly administered system of monetary compensation for organ donations could really have very seriously positive…
