Yeah, Chesterton totally wouldn't be a fan of season 3 of the Flash. For a whole lot of reasons. [I suspect Chesterton would actually have kind of liked season 1, though].

Well, Kim is effectively a drag on Jimmy's criminal success too.

If you don't read things before you decide you know what they say, if you construct strawmen, throw wild accusations without any basis, shout obscenities and condemn any discussion of history purely because some unpleasant people also read history books then YOU are part of the problem. "I don't know what you said or…

Respectfully, I don't think I was being an "apologist" for anything, and I'm not sure what 'points' you think I 'scored'. I just don't think you or anyone else should get so angry about people saying what's true. If anyone says something that's true and then tries to use it to justify any immorality, target the fact…

It's legitimate to want to have a true idea of the past - just because an untruth or a misconception may be politically advantageous to the cause of good doesn't mean there's no virtue in trying to acknowledge the messier realities.

Yeah, which means that for at least 20 episodes their villain has had, so far as the audience can see, no motivation.
I guess you CAN make that work, but it can't be easy…

And indeed dialogue, at least relatively speaking.

Well, more episodes per mini-story. I'd be OK if that meant fewer mini-stories per season.

In S1, Kara was pretty clumsy and shy and lacking in confidence and was flustered a lot, whereas Supergirl stood up straight and made eye-contact, and had a totally different hairstyle.

I actually liked the way that Legends did a better job of showing how dangerous a speedster could be than the actual show about speedsters…

The 'lapse in logic' is that every single episode seems to ignore the fact that Flash can move really, really fast.

And it would have been… if the reveal was in the next episode, or maybe the episode after that.

The irritating thing is that creative plots are the easy bit. You and I and most of us here could write out a perfectly satisfying season-long plot for a TV show, and many of us could write out a really good one. After all, these plots, even the most complicated, are fundamentally very simple.

Well, the 99% of me that doesn't really care in the slightest about how good or bad the TV show is… just isn't the part that's relevent to the comments section of reviews here. I mean, sure, there are lots of things in life that are way, way more important and interesting, and I spend a lot of time talking about and…

The thing is, having the villain be a future version of the hero could be interesting and is a natural place to go for a time-travel show.

For a bit there, I thought it would be clever if somehow Savitar were Future Caitlyn…

I was hoping she's be a solid romantic interest for Caitlyn while turning out to be HR's sister.

Presumably something timey-wimey has gotten messed up. Because Stringhair Flash remembers fighting and defeating Savitar, but he told Barry that he (Stringhair) didn't know who he (Savitar) was. But now Gormless Flash knows that Savitar is Burnface Flash. Since Gormless Flash is meant to turn into Stringhair Flash,…

Or, going back to the '90s, there were some pretty brilliantly paced long seasons of shows like Buffy, DS9, The West Wing… it's not like network seasons are a new thing that nobody's ever figured out.

I think it rustled, yes.
