My wife, who has neither read the books nor heard of R+L=J (or even, evidently, pays that much attention while watching), easily picked up on the fact that Jon was the infant.

Touche - although I think it may have provided some utility to him with regard to working through his murder of those bullies when he was a kid, maybe?

Were they his passports? I though they'd be Irina's leftovers, but I don't recall. Leaving cash and several fake passports for Misha would have been very good planning, I suppose.

I'm pretty neutral on EST generally, but I thought that this was a great denouement for that plot line, as he reached the natural limitation of any benefit EST is providing to him. He can go there, and talk about his feelings, but he's run up against the wall where he simply cannot convey any additional information.

Thank you! I was generally on the side of not finding the scene all that creepy, but the clarification of what Stan was pantomiming helps a lot.

Okay, but in the show, isn't it established that you need a physical face to put on? It's not just a magic face-morphing spell, it's use of an actual mask, right? If true, where would Jaqen get an Arya mask? If not, why do they keep all those faces?

Can somebody help me with something - did Mick straight up murder his temporary partner at the beginning of the episode? Right before Ray found him?

It was on the side of the homepage when I checked AV Club with about ten minutes left. Not too big a deal for me, except that it was right around the time Wells gave Jesse his earmuffs, and I started getting worried angry that HE was going to die. So, kind of a relief when it was Shipp.

Oh man, that scene where the captain said "where's Allen?" And the Flash races off and Barry comes walking in… I really wanted the captain to roll his eyes or shrug or something before he told Barry to get back to work!

Right? And let's say you fall off the bike, being able to wrap your arms around the baby while you roll is way safer than unprotected on his back. Gotta say, kind of took me out of the episode…

For Arrow to make any sense at this point, you have to believe that an arrow hitting almost any part of your body won't do the trick, otherwise I swear Oliver would still "be the killer [he] once was."

Was Heatwave just here? Cause there's a massive BURN!

I kept thinking that if there were a Barry Allen on Earth-CBS, he really screwed that guy over.

That's how we save her character! She becomes aware that she's in a superhero show, Deadpool/She-Hulk style.

So… V-9 is an Adderall analogue?

I think he meant it, and would abide by the promise right up until the plot needed to manufacture some more conflict from somewhere.

I didn't see the trailer for next week's episode, so it may be that it's magic or whatever, but I kind of hope that it was just his wedding ring. I'd like it if it were just some sort of thematic counterpoint to… whatever the writers thought the theme of the rest of the episode was. Kind of like, the most successful…

It made him look pretty freaking indestructible- he walked off that power drill to the foot wound with what I'd call a "slight limp."

I really thought the line reading was pretty great, like the character knew it was a pretty clunky thing to say, but then, what're you gonna do? It sounded about as good as it could have.
