How do you know they don't have to? Arthur Darvill spent a chunk of this season away due to other commitments, he does quite a bit of stage work which is hard to do alongside a TV series. He also lives in London so might not want to be on the other side of the world from loved ones for quite such extended periods of…

Dig has baby raptor now…

He also didn't have those powers for most of the season (he gets the totem later in the timeline before S4 of Arrow) but I guess he was looking to get those powers at the point this Dahrk exists as once he had the spear he gave himself the same powers he had in Arrow

I think the difference is (maybe) Team lead by Sara knows they're prone to fuckup which makes them look to be better. Team lead by Rip was prone to fuckup but thought they were always doing the right thing. Self awareness is probably good for the team..
Scraping through by the skin of their teeth has bonded them more…

Was about to say the same thing, it's not like he was able to do every episode this year and better him being a freelance legend than "Rip went missing, again".
I really hope this isn't it because the character has really grown on me..

Yeah, I'm not quite as down on the character as you but it doesn't feel like we've really seen much of David as a character, we've only seen layers of parasite/perceived mental illness/confusion. I was discussing the show with a friend and we both agreed we really like the show but it still feels like it's keeping us…

She's preggers so likely they wanted to write her out for a bit / have her in a hospital bed so it's not strenuous scenes and easy to hide the bump

Fair point, I was going on Rick saying she was about Morty's age (IIRC) but you're right they didn't really draw her as a teenager…

Morty is 14, Beth is 34, Mulan came out 19 years ago

But Beth is ~34 years (she had Summer at 17, Summer is supposed to be 17). So she would've been about Morty's age in 1998 (although it's the usual animation fun where I'm pretty sure no-one has aged but time might have passed)

This is a show that had the female speedster not help out with preventing a crime because she was distracted by a wedding ring… They definitely need to give us more background than "Caitin will become evil due to reasons!" if the writers don't want it to come across a bit "weak-willed-woman"

Banshee had them on the regular and did a bunch of pretty cool story beats with them ranging from straight up cliff hangers (bad guy isn't dead!) to tiny epilogues for characters

Bristol is a very silly place.
Or more accurately a city with a large arts community and an 'on the street' attitude to stuff due to people like Banksy and others (one of the Massive Attack guys was a pretty prolific graffiti artist back in the day), the large student population probably helps too. We've had a council…

Actor is originally from Manchester and apparently has lived all over the shop. I can't tell if that's him doing his normal accent which is a hodge podge of different influences or attempting to do an accent and being completely unable to cover his Mancunian accent…

I'm not sure if it was so much as retelling the Austin Powers "joke" as much as humanising a character who by the end of the episode is going to be the face of the "sort of bad guys who're now working with the good guys" team. Probably was as good a place to do it so when he agrees with David it's time to work…

I think that might have been too dark? Forrest acting like the show would continue in the face of all evidence combined with him having lost everything but still believing in his "purpose" was the perfect combination of dark/tragic and hilarious. I feel like any realisation would've been an overly bleak note and…

On the off chance you've not seen the other comments:

These episodes showing the insight into Forrest's mental state were pretty key to setting up the end. The main one, as you said, how he believes his reviewing is vitally important work.
My pet theory though is that he'd also hit a point where he was subconsciously sabotaging himself. Perhaps due to having killed…

Oh crap, how do rights and stuff for TV characters work? Forrest MacNeil cropping up on the occasional podcast for the occasional review would be awesome and I don't think it would tarnish the legacy of the show (it wouldn't be changing the arc of the show or backtracking anything, of course Forrest would attempt to…

Potential is just a way of saying "this show could be really good" - or more accurately the case is "this show has been really good".
