The zombie hordes were the reason A.L.I.E. had to drop all of those nukes back in the day.

This was the first straight out fun episode this season. Loved having the whole OG crew plus Julia in on the plan. And I like how niffin Alice is slowly being humanized by being anchored to Quentin.

It's also nice that after the better part of two seasons as a series regular, we (presumably) get to see and not just hear Amy Pemberton.

I'd rather have a separate "Hellblazers" series with a team lead by Constantine of mystical-centered DC characters. Maybe move Thea over to it once "Arrow" ends in a season or two.

I'm kind of hoping they use the assembled Spear of Destiny to make restore her original timeline with a copy of Amaya, who goes on to leave the tragic life that Ray described, and then have the original Amaya stick around on the Waverider.

The CW DC shows get a lot of flack when the visual effects wear a bit thin, but given the scope of their ambitions I always marvel at what they accomplish. Even with the Gorilla City two-parter, the effects were just good enough for me to get absorbed in the story. And when that happens, my imagination can smooth over…

I still think it's a mistake to have a romantic subplot on this show, when the first season worked so well without it. That being said, Nate and Amaya have a lot more going for them than Ray and Kendra did:
1) Nate makes a much better romantic lead than Ray does, because he's far less emotionally needy than Ray is. To…

I kind of dig Sara as the Captain Kirk of the "Arrowverse", traveling throughout time and space, leaving notches on bedposts wherever they land.

The thing that really really bothered me about this episode — enough to make it the first disappointment so far, despite all of the great stuff in the other storylines — is that Marissa and Maia used firm resources on firm time to a) solicit a personal hookup, b) view nude photographs, and c) spread libelous stories…

David Hyde Pierce's character is the Cook County State's Attorney. Kresteva is working for the DOJ now; at some point between his last "Good Wife" appearance and this episode, he must have slimed his way up the food chain. Presumably the cases in question are federal because of the civil rights element. The lawsuits…

The more startling thing is how much the world at large has caught up with Kresteva. He was an outlier when Perry's "Good Wife" episodes aired, but he's representative of large swathes of our real world elected officials today.

One of the things I loved about Margo's dream is that arriving at a midterm without having studied WAS her nightmare. It's important to their self-image that Eliot and Margo see themselves as the coolest people in the room at any given time, but we've gotten multiple indicators over the show's run that Margo is both a…

I just wish the fall had been "improbable to survive with a stab wound" instead of "impossible to survive even completely healthy". The cliff was just too high, and a river — even a big one — is just too shallow for that fall to be survivable. She would have hit the ground like it was concrete.

He'd probably thank whoever did the deed.

And she seems to have an incomplete understanding of how bodily functions work.

Once it became clear the nature of the dynamic between Cary and Kerry, I became absolutely entranced by Amber Midthunder's performance. Especially when they arrive at a new place and her head's swiveling around her eyes darting everywhere to take everything in. She's doing a brilliant job playing someone who's spent…

The decisive meeting to win back the client was in a matter of hours. There wasn't time to handle it in a more sensitive way.

The characters on the DC CW shows are so notoriously trusting when they shouldn't be, that it's no surprise that Mon-El gets totally shit on for respectfully raising sensible concerns that would bother anybody NOT on a DC CW show.

The firm was at risk of losing a major client because they didn't look like they could play ball with the Trump administration. Adrian and Barbara needed a pro-Trump face to counter that. In context, it made complete sense for them to shout that.

Agreed. It's clear that many of the TV club reviewers can't understand why someone would vote for Trump, and fair play because I'm a little dumbfounded about it myself, but there is a small but significant number of black conservatives out there. And presumably they'd hold their nose and vote for Trump for many of the…
