    LOL yea I love this idea that in TV and movies that any negative portrayal of a female character is now sexism, any negative trait that female has is no doubt because they're women, any fair criticism of a woman is now sexist. Karen Page was a lot more likeable to me than the love interests on Arrow and The Flash.

    It's the parable of "The Good Samaritan" just about everyone knows that story, you don't have to be religious to have heard that story before. It's a pretty famous story and one of the most famous stories in the bible, it's been quoted and used as an allegory in other works of fiction. You don't have to be a Christian

    Matt's Catholicism is pretty important to him and the story, if you can't get over that then you shouldn't watch the show. That's like complaining about Norse mythology in Thor, his blindness is not nearly as important as Matt's Catholic faith. To want the show to discuss said things just because you're an Atheist is

    People keep blaming Disney too based on a story that may be taken out of context but it seems to be more Marvel saying "No" then Disney. Which again is weird because Marvel has quite a few gay characters.

    Season 2 was the best season and the best reviewed by a wide margin if you didn't like season 2 then you're not going to like the show period.

    I think it's the opposite I think Arrow tries to be taken more seriously, it's only recently they've incorporated more powers and metahumans even in season 2 with the mirakuru and Deathstroke storyline they were still trying to be grounded in reality but with the Flash it's hard to keep that tone especially with all

    I'm a bleeding hearts liberal but I think some people can go a tad
    overboard, I think the portrayal's of women in the show are fine, Karen
    makes her own decisions, she's forceful and tries to stand up for what's
    right, maybe she takes on too much burden for her actions but that
    doesn't make her a victim. Doris has

    Doris also got Ben to get over his blogging hate which makes her A-OK in my book. I was really looking forward to Ben Urich the blogger.

    That criticism is weird to me, Karen isn't a professional killer, she's a normal human being of course she's going to feel guilty and hit the bottle hard until she confronts it.

    I always hate when characters hold pertinent information, being scared is understandable but all that talk of trust and needing each other is irrelevant when she doesn't tell the truth. Ben, foggy and Matt aren't going to turn her into the police for killing Wesley. It's important information that lets them know what

    Thea isn't stupid, she knows Malcolm is manipulative and she knows she was acting irrational when she met up with him. They started planting some seeds of dissension between them when he revealed the LOA were after them because of what he did. She can put two and two together and realize that

    I enjoyed Sara but people get WAY too defensive over the character. It's time to get over it and move on. Felicity's point was that Laurel was trying to hard to emulate her sister when she's not her sister. She was fighting with a shit ton of guilt and baggage and that was going to get her killed eventually. No one

    Think of it like this.

    In the first season wasn't Laurel a trained fighter? Certainly not on the level of Oliver, Sara and Diggle but someone who could at least hold her own against most mooks and normal human beings. It seems they retconned that when Sara was introduced as the Black Canary.

    I agree with the team in this case, Ollie has an habit of going into matrydom when he doesn't need to. Storyline wise they've been a team for two years now and they risk their lives on a regular basis when they don't have to not only that but they're adults if Thea is going to be brought in then they should be brought

    I'm annoyed with Felicity's "You're all gonna die attitude" that she's had since Oliver's "death" it's an overly negative attitude while everyone else around her is at least trying, she's offered little to no solutions and changes her mind on a whim. That's why I hated the idea of her being an love interest, it would

    The Thawne version of Reverse Flash who we'll call Professor Zoom
    goes back in time to screw with Barry. He goes insane over the course of
    time travel, realizing that he becomes The Flash's greatest villain and
    loses his shit. He tries to become The Flash himself by traveling to
    the past and getting getting struck by

    I still think Eddie is reverse-flash while Wells is just ensuring that Flash and Reverse Flash are destined to fight. All the teaser showed is that he designed the suit and voice modulator. Which makes me wonder why voice modulator? Flash can change his voice by vibrating his vocal cords without the need of a device.

    To be fair Roy is still just a street fighter who's getting trained, he's not going to be a match for a psychotic woman who's former swat plus he probably took her lightly. Roy can beat up most henchman and some low level villains but he's not beating up elite level villains like Boomerang just yet. It'll be

    I liked childish grin after he asked to see the Arrowcave, his enthusiasm is what got me tonight. I think the crossover captured the essence of both shows and that's what's important whenever crossovers happen but that rarely does happen.
