Why does Gotham need Batman? Jim Gordon seems to be handling all of the supervillains just fine by himself.

Oh my god, that Castle finale gave me the most confusing case of whiplash. I really wanted an AV Club review where I could complain about it.

Fair enough. I've resigned myself to enjoying it on this level as I play it in the background while doing other things, but that's not going to stop me from criticizing its idiocy.

So every villain in the Batman franchise was created by Dr. Strange now.

I'd like to see it that way, but she would need to be using his information for a purpose that he hadn't anticipated when he gave it to her—twisting it in some way that confounds his plans and his will. Instead, the use is the same as the one he proposed; is she not simply doing what he wants and, worse, introducing…

I disagree about Sansa in that, by telling Jon and Davos about the Knights of the Vale, she is allowing herself to be manipulated and used by Littlefinger, regardless of whether or not she is honest with them about where the information comes from. Her independence is not yet fully formed, and there will be…

Sweet hacking screensaver, guys.

Oh, FFS; please no.

After I spent the whole first episode wondering why people kept talking about withdrawal rather than shame, seeing Daisy beg Hive to infect her again was a hell of a shock for me. I just didn't see that she had this need for his connection after she was freed until then, and it was a really dark, blood-chilling…

I guess he'll be fine because the evil metas are all fine in their jail cells. But yeah it was an unnecessary distraction that they probably just put in there to make things more exciting.

Yeah, it really annoyed me that Barry was just standing there and watching even when it became quite clear that this wasn't a hostage thing but rather a murder thing. I'm quite sure that it's not the first time he's done that, either.

Harry's repeated and pointed insistence that Earth-2 folks vibrate at a *higher* frequency was a riot.

And the BS thing about about the Joker is that the show had its cake and ate it too by giving us a false Joker so that it could enjoy/exploit the character without having to deal with any consequences.

"I don't understand why they are pushing all the bad guys already out at this point."

You know, characters like Clayface and Firefly and Azrael and Freeze become a lot less interesting when they're all created by a single mad scientist and given bespoke personas and/or abilities rather than having their own independent origins and motivations.

I thought Catherine was finally going to blow up at Selina in that moment.

I am really upset about Osha. I loved her.

I wasn't lambasting Sava's style, just saying…
that's a moral, not a metaphor.

I'm not sure that "shitty people can get better" is a metaphor.

I understand if Tom Cavanagh doesn't want to touch a teenager's boobies too much while a television audience looks on, but that was the weakest effort at CPR I've ever seen.
