Her natural RP-meets-Scottish accent has that same quality, if you listen to the "Game of Thrones" audio commentaries she's on. I think it's just her voice.

Protip: If want to persuade someone to your point of view, don't be condescending.

Agreed. That scene at the end was about Rick reestablishing his
reputation with Morty as a fickle, capricious god with alcohol problems.

Emori was proven right when it became clear that she was next on the chopping block. And what they had planned wasn't punishment for setting up that scavenger; she was next because she was the one everybody (except Murphy) cared about the least.

There was something kind of poignant about that cold open in one of the previous 39 iterations where we see that Fogg and Julia were kindred spirits of sort, and she might have even been his favorite student.

She's doing things based on morality, but her morality at this juncture is an intellectual construct since she doesn't feel guilt or remorse anymore. She understands that she lost something valuable, and she's trying to be true to herself and settling for the best approximation she can manage.

I get what you're saying, but I completely bought that the visceral memory of her brain bleed-induced hallucination would drive her into a hysterical state where strategic thinking went out the window. In that moment, Abby was willing to let everybody die if it meant that she didn't have to kill her only child.

I was on the edge of my seat when she stood over Emori with the syringe full of nightblood marrow, desperately hoping she'd make the decision she made. She's done a lot of truly horrific things over the course of this show, but there was always a hard inarguable logic to the choices she made, who she sacrificed and…

That was the single most satisfying first season of a television show I've ever seen.

To my mind, the reviewer's chief complaint — that Abra Kadabra didn't spill the beans after all of that build-up — is the episode's chief strength. Barry was forced to choose between stopping a murderer and gaining crucial insight to save the person he cares about most in this world.

Yes! At this point I was really wondering why the firm didn't dump her ass. We have seen her do any legal work since the second episode, and her family's scandal had become a huge albatross around the firm's neck.

Yeah. Loved that Marissa figured it out by pure chance like she did. Loved that it was too late to make a difference. Both of those felt real. But a professional investigator not recognizing an EIN/TIN number is beyond the realm of believability. They're public information, and they're on a lot of documentation, so…

It's actually been set in the same universe as "Joan of Arcadia", this whole time.

There's a reason that EVERYBODY hires that guy.

Now they just need to lock Willa Holland down for more than 14 episodes next season. I really missed Thea during her extended absences this season.

The crucial difference, of course, is that the people of Mount Weather would have been perfectly safe if they'd just stayed holed up in their sealed facility. They commited their atrocities so they'd get to feel the sun on their faces.

Good point about her knowing that Eliot could take a husband as well and not telling him.

Who knew Fen had those pipes? Really growing to like her, one of the only unselfish characters in this shitshow of a magical universe.

Last night, Amaya was the only one who actually showed him empathy. Ray expressed regret after the fact, but Amaya was the only one who took the time to treat him like a human being.

Thawne lost his connection to the Speed Force after killing Barry's mother the first time around, which is why he had to move through time the old-fashioned way as Wells-1. But thanks to Flashpoint, this time remnant Thawne has his full speed powers.
