I buy it as well-I just hope that we get it over with. Season 5 was a mess, and I don’t want it to drag down this new season too much. They are trying to stick to the characters, but does it really matter when it’s built on such a rocky foundation like Season 5 was. The character moments are still where this show…

Exactly. They could do a season about re-building society. Something in Collider’s review of the Season 5 finale that I totally agreed with is that the subject would fit in The 100's wheelhouse. It’s a show all about difficult choices-often the right thing is the most difficult one.

Glad the site is still covering this! And I agree with the review. The potential, as always, is there for the show to break out of its repetitive storytelling rut and deliver something, fresh, exciting, and bold. The only question is whether it’ll deliver. Could go either way. Some really nice character moments…

They would have been fine as a 5-episode arc or something. Just not 23 episodes. At least the show broke out of its rut and found new life, by returning to the show’s main strength: humor.

Seasons 9 and 10 are honestly worse in my opinion. They took Winchester angst and elevated it to an art-form.

Probably not. No point in watching something you don’t really care for. There’s plenty of other stuff to watch (though in my opinion the quality has really decreased the past few years) on tv.

They knew what they were doing, they just didn’t quite to how to get there organically. So, they cut corners with regards to massive character shifts. This happened repeatedly, and is probably the show’s biggest flaw overall. It didn’t really matter to many people (including myself) in Seasons 1 and 2 because…

It’s absolutely insane. It’s awesome. It also veers from being spectacular to being terrible from season-to-season, sometimes episode-to-episode. Season 2 is amazing though, start-to-finish. No qualifiers needed.

It probably works best as a live action cartoon that’s also a comedy. The problem is, I like the show best when it’s deliberately being silly rather than outright stupid. Which the past two seasons have occasionally struggled with.

They also played a Nina Simone song at the end of “Witness”. “Sinnerman”, to be specific. Anthony took out the Russian mob. “Veni, vidi, vici”.

RIP Anthony.

He was in the Punisher Season 2 (which I didn’t see), but that went down with the Marvel-Netflix ship.

I’m rooting for him. He only started acting at 37. I kind of see him as an underdog, even though I think he’s extremely talented.

Season 2 had the best ‘comic book’ storyline, by far. Season 3 was good in spite of it, as is Season 4. It’s probably because Legends doesn’t have source material. Coming up with their own stuff is much more difficult than what other shows can do. The Legends writers have gotten very good at writing characters and…

Amy Acker, Jim Caviezel, and Michael Emerson all had great careers before POI and are probably getting work now. Taraji P. Henson’s took off like a rocket, and Sarah Shahi is doing fine as well. It’s sad that Chapman’s the only one who hasn’t had that much success.

Budget.

Yeah this episode was quite a good episode of Arrow. Ernie Hudson, of course, was great and delivered some of the best acting we’ve seen on Arrow, and it had solid action and plot twists. That’s what I like to see.

Oh, and yeah, I pretty much only use Netflix to watch POI episodes and Bojack Horseman when it comes around. 

Kevin Chapman said the same thing. People generally don’t think cool things air on network tv, especially not the network that airs The Big Bang Theory. If it was airing now, or had it aired on cable, it would have been much more popular. Oh well.

It has a lot of problems, and falls into many of the pitfalls that POI avoided. I do not consider myself a big fan of it.
