She was my favorite character in the first season and I miss her terribly this time around. I hope they get her back into one of the main plots. She also has the benefit of having some actual known friendships and acquaintances outside the main cast - if there's ever enough time to invest into building the Sky People…

It would have really been great if Abby's decision had more to do with her own beliefs, or her people (some of the known Ark survivors must also care for some of the remaining 47 - family members, friends, someone). But I can appreciate that she's finally consistently putting her trust in Clarke. And as though I…

I'll reply to you here too as I do think you have a point with regards to the show preparing to tackle the situation in a way that I and other commenters here do not see unfolding any time soon. For me, the tone has not suggested this - but of course I don't believe they would just drop it; this disbelief is why I was…

First season: Larry Ellison and Felicity Smoak battling over trademarks.

Possible, but I don't think it's being framed this way. So far there has been a dissonance between the horror at the actual scene and the way it was addressed afterward. It is colored as a somewhat typical "we've all done horrible things" storyline.

All that proves is that we really, really love visual tone poems.

It occurs to me that we could easily make a perfectly respectable list comprised only of shows in their first or second season. It doesn't surprise me that Mad Men is the only 'old' show in the top ten, the past year has been damn filled with amazing TV.

I'm watching Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer and Key and Peele. All three are in the top 10 of my heart. It's really amazing how they pull this off, and their web content game is perfection.

She could very well open up an IT consulting and management agency for billionaire superheroes.

I want this. Merlyn and Felicity could be especially fun.

Jaha's motivation is suspect. I never got the impression that he was an empty-rhetoric leader last season, and his attachment to Zoran (the Grounder kid on his way to the City of Light) kept the thread of Wells' memory and protection of children; I can't see why he'd abandon it now. But Abby's blunt refusal to indulge…

And to think I wasn't OK with them starting the Murphy redemption ark last season. DAMMIT, SHOW. The way Wells died traumatized me, but it was also what made me stick with the show. Maybe I'm just bloodthirsty but Finn's continued roaming about 'because he's our best tracker' disrupts my enjoyment of the show: I spend…

I just fear that the comeuppance, if it comes at all, will come packaged as some noble act of sacrifice.

Finn's feeble attempt at conflating his evil act with Lincoln's just rang so terribly hollow. The show cannot really, uncritically believe that the two are equal, can it? Lincoln being tortured (again! When will that stop? Can't the guy just be allowed a little bit of health and nurture, just for an arc or two?) and…
