….the…. nice guy?

The fact that they had permission to write a freaking war between Spartax and Asgard makes even more unbelievable that we spent more than half the season in that inane "your cosmic seed is in another castle" plot.

She would have been even more disappointed if she had had to deal with the unpredictable side effects, if they had not failed.

…which would have completely changed the relationship we've seen between Murphy and Emori.

It's a car from the future. It's got a lot of drive-assisting tech in it (…maybe?)

And it happened again this season with the Arkadians.

310 if you include Lincoln, because he's easily worth at least 10 foot soldiers.

When one of the biggest moments of the episode is a beloved character cutting her wrists and and another one having to choose to give up her brain to save her… it does kind of spoil it.

Technically, people did get killed in this episode (and Bellamy died to Octavia) so it wasn't entirely accurate.

And it's also because of the directness and centralness of it. There are very specific ways in which good DC characters can kill children. To make an analogy, Roman Reigns can launch a spear at HHH, miss and knock Stephanie out cold, but if Stephanie is alone in the middle of the ring, you know RR can't walk in and…

That's an even more valid reason to feel bad if we consider that these shows can't do decent love stories to save their lives… or their kidnapped comrades. If I got hired in any of the DC shows and they told me, "we're going to give you a love story arc," I'd present my resignation at that very moment.

I don't know why I feel such aversion for the speaking of the words "my wife and child".

There's still some hope in that the creator of Savage's robot army is a character with potential to be revisited.

Congratulations Rip Hunter. Time Master of the Year!
He removes a kid that he thinks will change the entire future and it has no effect on the timeline.
Ah! But let him remove people who will have minimum to no effect on the timeline and it turns out that causes an entire city to go in flames and causes the creation of…

I thought it absolutely accomplished to convey that Laurel was absolutely, definitely NOT dead. Until the out-of-show comments were shown here, I didn't even consider that it might be a real death.

…but he could have been devastated by the promise Laurel asked him to make, of not telling any of his friends that it was a fake death..

I think Ollicity isn't in and of itself the drain on the show. Romantic relationships are the biggest drain of all current DC live action shows, for some reason. In Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl… any character who gets or becomes a romantic interest of anyone immediately sinks into unbearableness, no matter how cool or…

To be fair, one main purpose of that Laurel hate was to try to save Sara from comics-mandated doom.

I don't know… Diggle said that it was his fault in Oliver's presence and *SHOCK!* Oliver stayed quiet and didn't blame himself, so that should make it like 1 million times Diggle's fault.

The other males who have been on the "good side," even temporarily,
include Palmer who got blown up and "died" for a while, Oliver's dad who
blew his brains off, Oliver's stepdad who was kidnapped for them to rescue, Slade who stepped on a mine, got turned into a
monster and got every inch of his flesh torn up by the…
