Indeed. It's possible I was just expecting to really hate his performance, but it was surprisingly tolerable. Whether it would have been less so with more screentime, I don't know. But if I were to list off the problems with the film starting with the most egregious I'm not sure I'd reach a cast member before I passed…

I didn't think Jared Leto was a terrible Joker. He's the worst portrayal I've seen, but that's just because there's such a high bar - Ledger, Nicholson, Hamill (in voice in multiple mediums), even Cesar Romero was excellent at his portrayal. Arguably they were only getting better right through to Ledger, so of course…

Yeah I saw about that (heart goes massively out to him), although I think he's already done a couple of things since. It just seemed like Simmons' line was pretty definitively writing him out; I'd be saddened if this was genuinely them closing a door on Koenig as a part of the show.

Ward killed the first one (Eric?) in season 1 in about episode 19/20, but we saw at least 2 in season 2 (and I think another was referenced?) who should in theory still be out and about being all Patton Oswalty. But this talk was like they were all in the past (since it wasn't just the first who had a lanyard…

Totally agree. While it's got flaws, it has for my money the fewest and least offputting flaws of all the comic book shows at the moment, and so much of what it does is inventive and brilliantly executed.

ALSO! There's a Yo-Yo webseries coming! Looks like it'll be online/on the ABC app from next week (picking up in the AoS gap I guess): https://twitter.com/Geoffre…

I'm not sure that that line does confirm that… but I also think that with what we saw last week they're going firmly with 'the Rider passes from person to person'. Doesn't mean Blaze won't turn up, with or without Rider, at some point.

Damnit, did they just kill Koenig(s?) off off screen? I understand that having him around might be confusing as we go into a LMD storyline, but come on!

Yeah, but only a *bit* pear-shaped; the second halves of both seasons 2 and 3 still had some great stuff, even if they weren't as tight or quite as effective as their respective first halves. I found the season 3 finale to be one(/two) of the best episodes they've ever done, easily.

True, they used it to up their game considerably, which is a plus of the concept ('event' episodes can seem tacky, but they do usually mean more effort is put in as more eyes will be on them, as per the Invasion crossover). But it didn't shift the series the way their other midseason finales have done (it felt more…

The midseason finale is actually a good idea if used well. Take Agents of SHIELD (s2 onwards, at least); they use the midseason finale for a shift in tone, focus and story. Even Arrow has generally managed to do similar, with Ollie's 'death' in s3 and Felicity's shooting in s4. But in The Flash the series has…

One of the reviews at the time had I think the perfect comment on Thirteen, something along the lines of 'If this had been the first film, there would still have been a trilogy'.

I'm not sure I'll watch it again but I enjoyed Inception because it's good schlock - it's nowhere near as clever or deep as it thinks it is, but it's inventive in a number of ways and packed with fun sequences (that mean very little but are goofily enjoyable). I have really not enjoyed this season of Westworld,…

By 'Carter died for good' do you mean in like the second episode? Because an incarnation of him was alive at the end of the series. He and Hawkgirl left at the end of the series in 2016 to try and make it as a couple or something.

I was hoping for Linda Carter to be the new President. Then we could have had 'On my Earth she ran for President with the other guy as her running mate, not the other way around.' 'I guess our Earth wasn't ready for that yet.' But it probably would have been too late to incorporate that anyway.

Anyone who only follows Legends of Tomorrow would probably have been pissed off at this episode for being so Barry/Oliver focused, particularly at the end. But, then again, I doubt there's anyone watching Legends who isn't also watching either Flash or Arrow, so it probably makes little odds.

Willa Holland is just brilliant - unless I'm imagining it (which is possible), she did a superb slight shift of persona when with her mother, like she was a child again. It might sound obvious, but I swear she had some mannerisms and a certain way of swallowing some of her words that she hasn't had in years… that's a…

Ooh, Walter for Prometheus maybe? That'd be fun.

For Arrow fans 'black Cisco' started out as 'male Felicity' and was awesome (as someone put it at the time, it was like they gave Felicity her own Felicity). But they've definitely put him into an annoying groove that they're struggling to hoist him out of.

That's a good article Vulture have put together.
