I would say just X-Men and Hannibal

I think what's more important is getting beyond the idea of "likability," especially in female roles. The best part about Rebecca is that she's extremely unlikable, which is of course what makes her an anti-hero; being an unlikable character in a genre that always serves likable ones.

Thawne was this episode's saving grace, everything else felt poorly thought out.

That could easily happen, I'd be a little surprised if it was purely an artistic flourish.

I hope he releases that original script someday. Would be really fun to compare or see someone even try to actually produce it.

I feel like this was inevitable. In a weirdly beautiful way it's like watching myself grow up through film tastes, beginning with films like Inception and Fight Club whose plots are necessary and moving into the more tone-focused territory of Lynch and other arthouse fare.

He just seems so awkward to me that his lines don't come across very well. He's too one-note for me to believe him. Part of me wants to look at him like a Lynchian character but that doesn't really work in terms of the other performances on the show.

This episode had some very high moments and a very low moment. Price's opening monologue felt far too on the nose for someone as conniving as him, though if he were to say that to anyone, it makes sense that it's Colby. The Blue's Clues moment was a high point not just of this season but of the entire show, something

They really need to explain how Elliott got released, preferably sooner rather than later. Hopefully it will be a nice plot twist because otherwise it just seems like lazy writing.

These are certainly valid readings worth discussing, but I think that even if Eastwood was attempting to make Kyle a more nuanced figure, he could have done a far better job. The interview only serves to prove Eastwood's inability to bring this level of nuance that could make these characters more ambiguous.

There needs to be a balance of buildup and unpredictability, which I thought Esmail did pretty well. Maybe an episode or two earlier and it would've been better.

Yeah the earlier he did the twist the better it would be. At least it's not nearer the finale, that would've been so gimmicky and dumb.

Is no one else noticing that it's 20 minutes long because that's how long a half hour sitcom is with commercials removed?

Yeah I have to be honest even if it's too long (in my opinion it was just right), the sitcom sequence is ambitious as hell and that's exactly what I want from a show this auteurist. My jaw dropped when it kept going after the title sequence and I was just in awe of the balls it takes to make a third of your episode a

SPOILERS

SPOILERS The helmet change was probably just what the costume needed and I might be wrong here but I think after he gets the new helmet there is also a little more red in the rest of the suit.

What about Macbeth???

I think the Deathstroke mask on the beach was something Oliver did after killing Slade for the first time. It didn't happen onscreen but that was always my assumption. Probably Ollie's way of honoring him.

How could you forget Neeson's hilarious turn as Good Cop/Bad Cop in The Lego Movie?

I want Moon Knight so bad, especially after reading Ellis's short but brilliant run. It was even structured like a TV show. I would also love (as my username would imply) a show based on Fraction's Hawkeye.
