That's why it had to be Iris who brought him back. If anyone else had done it, they would have in effect been murdering Iris.

Watching last night's "Supergirl" and tonight's "Flash" back-to-back really reminded me how lifeless and dour the former show's become, and how even during a rough season "The Flash" brings a lot to the table.

"Oh, you're doing great work by the way."

You need to get high off your ass on God's Mouth and strip naked first.

Charlie is this show's MVP, but he works best in small doses. A show built around him would be too much of a good thing.

It was so-so as a backdoor pilot, but one thing I found really interesting about it is that for the first time in a long time the show really grappled with the show's title.

I stopped watching this show regularly a while ago, but happened to stick around after last night's "Speechless" and was shocked how big Lily had gotten.

This is the show where, for all of its trumpeted diversity in other areas, the idea of a two-income family was a novel concept for most of its run.

100 percent. Having her be the most bad ass fighter in the arena wasn't realistic, so they utilized her backstory, which involved spending more than half her life learning how to be unseen and unheard.

I called it that because he was the producing director for the first season. Mimi Leder took over that role starting in season two.

The Peter Berg season was really good, but the Mimi Leder seasons have been fucking amazing. And lets be honest, there were a lot of Mimi Leder episodes in the Peter Berg season.

My endgame theory after this episode is that Kevin Jr. needs to die, get the last piece of the song from Christopher Sunday in the in-between place, and then come back to life so he can teach it to Kevin Sr. and Kevin Sr. can prevent the apocalypse.

The suicidal man had to die and set his VW bug ablaze. The Walkabout homage demanded it.

At least they're not using an eleven-year-old in a grown woman's body as a seductive temptress anymore.

Absolutely. The first slaves wouldn't arrive in the American colonies for another twenty years at that point, and widespread British involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade was still a few decades away. Given that the racism as we know it today was largely developed to justify the mistreatment and economic…

That was definitely a notable exception to my blanket statement.

Bill facing rather the same moral choice that Clara had to when the moon was turned out to be a giant egg. Except, y'know, not about the moon being a giant goddamned egg.

I was also counting the knocks.

The whole bit with Bill calling him out after he failed to save the street urchin was great. When the companions of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors called them out, they'd change the subject or skirt the issue. In the process, they'd effectively concede the point.

I'm really glad they're not taking the route they did with Martha Jones of "Just walk around like you own the place and this era's pervasive racism won't affect you". That hand-wave in "The Shakespeare Code" has always felt really off-putting.
