This season so far is head and shoulders above last year. Still, there's always at least one large piece of stupidity that challenges my suspension of disbelief. It only seems to be slightly over one minute between the time Oliver enters the clinic and when he appears in full GA costume. Maybe more time is meant to…

Actually I had also given up on Arrow but the first episode of this season seems promising. No real relationship drama, lots of action and no Merlyn. If it keeps on in this vein I may continue watching. Now, if they would only ditch the flashbacks. I fast-forwarded through all of them and didn't miss a thing.

Totally agree. Although I enjoy them, the CW shows operate on a much more simplistic, comic-book level than AoS. AoS has internal logic and provides explanations. The CW shows do whatever suits them from arc to arc whether they make sense in context or not. Take, for example, the time-travel ridiculousness of Flash…

Definitely more entertaining than last season although still pretty stupid. I would up it to a B-. The Oliver Queen framing device was somewhat lame. Oliver has enough problems with balancing being GA and the mayor so he has time to somehow acquire a submersible vehicle and easily locate a timeship that has…

Ok, the 'Flash' writers just need to stop time travel stories if they can't handle them. The first season culminated with Thawne being erased from time through Eddie's sacrifice. That's it. He never existed. But wait, as season 2 unfolds it seems that he was not erased since everyone remembers him and Barry even…

I really tried. I made it through the last 2 seasons although I fast forwarded through the final 3 episodes. I even made it through 1 and 1/2 episodes of this new season but when I got to the Penguin and Mooney in the woods scene I had to stop. I may pick it up again because I really WANT to like this show but it has…

Peter Cook, now there was a genius who never got his due in America. The original Bedazzled is one of the funniest movies ever (the remake……not so much. )

It's been attempted on network TV before as on the short-lived comedy Buffalo Bill with Dabney Coleman. More recently we've had Garry Shandling as Larry Sanders and, of course, Larry David.
As another poster mentioned there is also the pressure on network TV of maintaining an unlikable protagonist over 20+ episodes per…

It's all oversimplified. There is smart, sharp British comedy but there is also British comedy which is just as stupidly bland as the stupidest, blandest American sitcom. As far as different sensibilities, Gervais has often said that the squirm-comedy aspect of The Office was due to the influence of The Larry Sanders…

Yeah, it's only been a month or two since Cersei's imprisonment so her hair is growing as fast as it can. Not as much time has passed in Westeros as it has taken to tell the story. It's mainly just the unavoidable growth of the child actors that makes it seem longer.

Yeah, at the very least Ghost should have been lying at Jon's feet during the meeting with the Northern houses. I mean, the direwolf is only the symbol of House Stark after all. The show's slapdash use of the direwolves has been pretty, well, dire. I have to think that Martin has important stuff in mind for Ghost and…

Dinklage gives a soulful performance and I can't envision anyone else in the part, but I still cringe at his cod English accent. It's really bad and it hasn't gotten much better over the years even with his constant exposure to so many actual English actors. English isn't even Coster-Waldau's first language yet his…

I don't think this is the same wildfire. This must be the stash that Aerys had planned to use. I'm not sure how it remained hidden for 15 years though.

I'm not really sure that Jaime WILL be at her side. I think the wildfire was the final wake up call for him. Jaime's not religious but blowing up the Sept of Baelor and killing lots of innocent people is slightly over the line.

Yeah, it won't be easy for her otherwise the show would wrap up in 2 more episodes. Dragons flame Cersei, flame the White Walkers and Dany marries Jon. It definitely is going to get more complicated than that

Since when is torture beyond Cersei's moral code? She is a villain and has always been a nasty human being. It's the trick of the show and the books that we briefly feel sympathy for her, but she never feels sympathy for anyone else except her children and Jaime. She really deserves every bad thing that happens to…

If you're not being sarcastic…….Rhaegar is Jon's father

I think there was always meant to be more going on with book Margaery than meets the eye but we never got any POV chapters to find out for sure. Maybe that's coming in the next book. I never felt she was in the same amount of peril from the High Sparrow as Cersei was since the issue of Loras' sexuality was never…

Jaime is smart enough to figure it out. Cersei is alive with Qyburn by her side and all of her enemies are dead.

Like everyone else in the books, except for maybe Aemon and Pycelle, the characters have been aged up for TV. Dany and Jon are both still in their teens and even Cersei and Jaime are only around 30. You are considered old when you hit 40. Tommen is still prepubescent and childlike even when he becomes king and…
