If you took a swig of beer/wine every time we saw Nick look pine-ing-ly towards June, and a shot [of your liquor of choice] when he looked into the rearview mirror, you'd've been quite, quite drunk by the end of this episode.

Yep; the editing tried to be clever (a Silence of the Lambs, as Bobo mentions below) but in the end it wasn't at all clear unless you rewatch a few times. They should have tried something a little less clever when they realized it wasn't going to work, but maybe they just didn't have the footage/time/ADR budget/etc.
I was really disappointed in Boo's outing, until Boo made it not about Linda lying about not-being-an-inmate, but Linda's specific work in gouging the inmates out of every last thing as part of saving a giant corporation a few bucks.
I read that whole thing as quite intentionally paralleling Mon-El with a stereotypical Female Love Interest. It doesn't really fit with the Growing To Be A Hero 'arc' he's had all season, but it did work for me this episode, anyways.
I know Alex is impulsive and gets carried away, and they just had a World Almost Ends moment, but they just said 'I love you' three episodes ago, and they've had about 13 on-screen words put together since then, so . . . No, Alex, no.
It should be a noun, as in, "This season, Lou's going to 'HIMYM' Molly."
Which might be fine . . . if Diggle made that argument, and they actually parsed these things out. There are points to be made all around, but so far the show's not making them.
Yes, The Flash is way overstuffed with characters, but they're essentially all heroic and/or goofy characters (with occasional forays into the dark side like Julian and now Caitlyn). They need to shunt a few characters off to Legends of Tomorrow, or even just bring down the number of episodes people like Julian are…
This episode mostly suffered from an allergy to serialisation and subtle foreshadowing. It could have been a lot better if:
I was looking forward to an obviously pregnant Maggie kicking ass. Like, why can't we see a woman with a baby belly swinging a knife? It would have been cool. We understand that in that universe, you do what you must to survive, you can't be sidelined by pregnancy, or you die.
They definitely used her sparingly, (she was conspicuously absent after she mauled those two guys, and the mauling didn't happen in the wides), but what they had of her was bloody well effective. She's easily one of my favourite characters.
Exactly. The relationships and their problems are nothing alike, stop trying to insist they are. Yes, there was a fallout over an omission in both cases . . . but the foundational relationships are wildly different, the type of lie was different, and also Barry at least recognised how and why it was wrong and…
The actors (and all the asides / quasi-fourth-wall-breakings) were a goddamn DELIGHT, but the episode itself, which could have been so much more, was instead mostly fun as a standalone. What it actually ends up doing to the character arcs (mostly, the mains on SG) is cheap and awful.
*spoilers*
I understand why Oliver is oblivious (or stupid, if we're being less kind) enough to bring Chase's wife into the same room with Chase.
I think J'onn should have removed her from the case *before* the test, simply because someone so obviously close to (and so recently burned by) her father would never be allowed to be so close to it, black ops or not.
There's already SHARKTOPUS, so they should definitely spin that off into this somehow . . .
I'm going to have to re-watch that scene - I took that line as him knowing all along she wasn't straight (which he could have picked up at any point since meeting her, really), not that he knew about Alex + Maggie.
Plenty of people / countries continue to use torture despite the fact it often gives erroneous evidence, but I actually think it occurred to Negan, he just doesn't care. He gets to indulge his bloodlust, terrify his underlings, and continue to give TWD producers the spectacle they want - win/win/win.
