Oh, and also, I do think I'm enjoying Katie Cassidy's Laurel much more this season. Really enjoyed her scenes and how she didn't just come right in and start beating people up.

Man, I just loved this episode. I don't think you give it enough credit. A- for me and the best episode of this new season. Part of it is that I'm just so partial to Diggle and I love that the episode really focused on him. And I loved the lighter feel to it and all the humor (I got a good kick out of Ollie's…

I know this is a retrospective, but since this site stopped doing episodic reviews, I thought here was as good a place to say this:

I completely agree about Hawley. I appreciate the attempt at world-building and giving Abbie/Ichabod some friends, but his presence has been way too forced. He shouldn't be appearing in every episode. He should show up once in a while.

This is really such a disappointment. It should be a good to great show but is instead just bad. I actually enjoy young Bruce Wayne, because like you said he's basically the only real character on the show (outside of Penguin and maybe Fish Mooney). I don't find the fact that he's basically a 30 year old man to be…

Yes, I too am having trouble reconciling the tone of last year's banging people out of windows tone and this season's political West Wing problems tone. But in both tones, this is still a very good show. I'm really enjoying everything to be quite honest.

I disagree about the Amy/Peralta stuff. It's perfectly grounded in their characters and the previous work they've done with them. Of course Peralta isn't over Amy, he just finally told her he had feelings for her 2 episodes ago. I think it would be weirder/more forced if they just ignored it now. And I feel like…

I hate that this freaking site stopped doing Vampire Diaries reviews. It sucks.

I said this last week, but so freaking done with Leith/Greer. Greer used to be awesome, but I can barely watch the shit with Leith. It's CW nonsense at its worst, not its best like most of Reign is.

Man, that was enjoyable as hell. Great pilot imo. My only complaint is Iris seems way too "Laurelian", but the actress is at least much more up to the task than Katie Cassidy appears to be and also isn't characterized in that annoying saintly way where she's saving the world as a lawyer.

This episode was a MAJOR improvement to the previous one. I can't believe how much I'm enjoying Ward playing the Angelus role from Angel Season 4 where he just acts weird while in a cage and messes with people. It's hard to believe it's the same character from early last season.

Glad to have Reign and these reviews back. I think B+ is just about right.

yeah, gotta agree with the review and comments. This episode was boring and I don't understand the emphasis on Hunter when you have the original cast sitting around doing nothing. It does seem like he's just a replacement for Ward- He's certainly much bettter than Ward was before the Hydra twist last year but that…

I'll forget about, and not complain about, all the other time-wasting nonsense that has been this entire season, but the one thing that really bothers me is the Yakuza. Really, the True Blood writers have one final season to make a credible freaking villain, and that's who they decide on? It's so freaking stupid,…

So freaking bad. Can't get over how bad this has become, and I'm someone who on-again/off-again has mostly hate-watched this show since the end of S2 (the only good season imo).

I struggle to even call them filler episodes. Every single episode is all filler, all the time.

Even a C- is a generous for this snoozefest. Not to compare it to the worst final season ever, but at least Dexter had some balls. At this point I'd love a batshit nonsensical ending like the lumberjack thing compared to the boring by the numbers running-in-place we've been getting.

Give Reign a chance. The first few episodes are a bit dull, but it becomes very fun after that. Megan Follows and Alan Van Sprang are treasures.

yeah, that actor is terrible. Speaking as a fan of the Originals, he's just flat-out boring and vanilla. And it seems as if he's playing the same exact character here.

Yeah, this was an absolute freaking mess. I actually never saw last season's finale so you can imagine how confused I was, but I was asking the same thing about the Hep V vamps because I remembered Nora's death? Was it ever explained why they aren't weak and don't die within hours like she did as a result?
