Honestly, a long as it keeps being funny, I'd be ok with the procedural aspect going away. It's always the weakest part of the episode, in my opinion. Hannibal subtly phased out it's procedural elements and was the stronger for it. But that's just my opinion.

I hate predestination shit as well, but there are better ways to get there. Plus it's possible to bring characters back and redeem them. Look at Buffy's Dark Willow arc. they way they got there was kind of clunky, but Willow made for a high stakes villain because of her deep connection to all the main characters, and…

I don't get this complaint. He's had pretty bad shit happen to him this season, and in all honestly he recovers from it faster than should be expected of anyone. I miss his quips he's sad, but it's nice they're giving the guy some harder drama to play

I actually like that explanation. I dislike the idea that powers can suddenly make you bad, but a new emotional distance combined with desperation could push people to making bad decisions while still allowing them the ability to overcome it. I just pray that the solution isn't depowering her. I freaking hate when…

It would be nice to have someone around who is unwilling to take Barry's shit, especially if they somehow manage to develop respect for each other, so they could do it on a regular basis and still stand to see each other around

Just to play devil's advocate here, she's worked with Barry for three years and is not only one of his closest friends, but also the scientist who has the best understanding of how the speed force works on this earth. On top of that, she knows his fighting style, what his gadgets are made of, how his suit works, and…

I agree on that last point. They have more chemistry than Barry and Iris.

I actually think it could tie into the jealousy he demonstrated earlier in the series. We though he was jealous because if he had abilities he would use them better, but what if he's angry that they have a choice and still choose to be bad? It doesn't seem like he's willingly serving Savotar based on his brief…

Honestly, I'm pretty ok with this. Not because the twist is all that shocking, but because shades the character in new ways. I'm guessing Julian has little to no control over being alchemy, considering he says "please no" when Savotar shows up, and I'm guessing that his frustration at having had his agency taken away…

Middle of the ocean! Just walked right off!

I guess technically members of the electoral college pledged to vote for Trump in December could go against the will of those they represent, but it's incredibly unlikely. I think we're just fucked for four years.

NO! We don't want Trump impeached at this point. He's a horrible human being, but his Vice President is Mike Pence, who would be eight times worse because he's intelligent, and has been consistent throughout the decades regarding his opinions about women's rights, homosexuality, etc.

They then proceed to actually show Kara The Thing so she knows hoe to deal with similar situations in the future. That would hilarious.

John Carpenter's. It's the one I'm most familiar with

The John Carpenter version, which is technically remake but it's far better remembered than The Thing from Another World as far as I can tell.

I think it's closer to four hours. The crossover is Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow right?

Apparently no one in this show ever watched The Thing. If and arctic team mysteriously dies, DON'T let the lone survivor out of the arctic before he answers some very pointed questions al la the corpses, and passes a frakking blood test. I liked this episode a lot, but geez! People need to be a bit more genre savvy.

I think it complicates the message, which was really the point of this episode. Everyone else in the episode has their views called into question in different ways, Kara realizing she's got her own prejudices and Maggie interacts directly with the nastier side of the alien community for example. I'm glad they went…

From what I've gathered, time passes on a 1 to 1 ratio between the timelines in this universe. Things don't change until Frank does them, because until that moment the time line is still in flux. Frank is given the information he needs, but things can still go wrong so changes don't happen until after he's taken…

I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan, and in one of his books he wrote, "anything that couldn't be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak was probably immune to magic as well." It's the kind of critical thinking that doesn't show up in fiction often.
