I liked Lilith's Brood okay, but it seems like a really tough property to adapt. I'm honestly kind of shocked we're getting a screen version of that before one of Butler's more accessible (and relevant) titles like Parable of the Sower or Kindred.

I loved the Nightside books back in high school, and I've been meaning to reread them for ages to see if they hold up. Guess this is just the impetus I needed to finally get on that!

In the Prisoners of Time comic book series — I know, I know — the Eleventh Doctor is incredibly blase about bumping into the Anthony Ainley Master. So yeah, Simm or Gomez could easily make reappearances on the show later on, before this episode in their respective timestreams.

I was hoping for an argument over whether Sara Kingdom counted as a companion, honestly.

If the show really got gutsy, they would do a 5-year time jump for the main action in season 6, then start up with flashbacks that begin right after this episode.

Are we gonna talk about how Madame Gao, head of an order of evil ninjas, can't detect someone standing just outside of an open conference room door? Or how she chose to antagonize Danny before having her meeting in his building, when she easily could have done her business in secret first and then stopped by to goad…

They had a "Previously on Arrow and The Flash" moment to explain it at the beginning of the season. I think it was a good move, actually - a small enough change that Arrow viewers who don't watch The Flash won't be wildly thrown off by a sudden new timeline, but still an intriguing wrinkle that might get them to go…

Yeah, one way or another I definitely think there's going to be a dramatic reveal that Mon-El is actually a prince and not a guard. (Not sure why we should care, given that Daxam is gone, but hey.)

Did anybody else feel like Mon-El was lying about being a palace guard? He seemed really shifty about it when it came up in conversation with Kara.

^^ Underrated comment.

Ah. Well, at least that assuages my guilty conscience over not commenting enough. I'll go back to lurking now.

Just curious — is low readership measured by comments or by actual page views? I don't comment very much on here, but I'll try to do so more often if that's what determines whether features get renewed or not.

It's on Amazon Prime now, in case you had any interest in watching. It really is just as bad as this review says, though.

I really hate that Barry's actions in the last scene are (presumably) creating a new timeline. Did we learn nothing from Fringe? Season 4 of that show was a total wreck because the timeline was reset in the season 3 finale and they couldn't do enough to explain the new status quo. Characters became completely unmoored…

Henry saying it was his mother's maiden name was a huge giveaway, especially coming that close to his death and the season finale. If the writers wanted to set that reveal up properly, they should have had Barry mention it was his grandmother's maiden name (because why wouldn't he know that?) back when Zoom first…

I gave up on Sleepy Hollow a while back, but didn't it originally just have a single Big Bad? Shows like these can morph to a new villain over time if the ratings are solid enough — that's what I'm guessing will happen with DC's Legends of Tomorrow at some point, too.

I think Conviction is the one with the former first daughter, not Notorious. (To be fair, both those titles are pretty horribly bland.)

"They're ON a bluftoni!" Haha, yeah, great film and very quotable. "He had no coconut, to my knowledge."

The 1990 Bill Murray movie Quick Change also has a robbery carried out by a clown, with the robber (Murray) then taking off his costume and escaping as one of the hostages.

Looks like it. She's also playing Violet Baudelaire in the Netflix Series of Unfortunate Events series: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm…
