I enjoyed it too, but I haven't figured out if it's something I want to continue with. I think my ambivalence stems from not being all that interested in the character development.

But the burning question for me is who will play Jeff, who takes it up the butt? And will he squeal as gleefully as Joey Kern did in 2002?

The way Buffy handled Willow being Jewish is a good example, IMO, of a show not being clunky about it while also not making a big deal of it. AFAICR, there's no single moment in Buffy that hinged on Willow (or any other character) being Jewish — not in a way that a plotline would have needed significant revising if…

Haven't see anyone mention the whole "It's a Jewish custom" thing that Felicity pulled at Sara's burial. I don't know why, but it seemed a little awkward to me, especially the way Felicity said "I know she wasn't, but…." This is the third(?) time that I can think of that the show has brought up that Felicity is…

I'm not bored with them yet, but I do agree that so far the Hong Kong flashbacks are suffering by comparison to the island flashbacks with Slade. The problem with continuing with a narrative device like flashbacks is that once those have gotten compelling, we really notice when they stop being so compelling, and the…

Granted, but they kinda made up for it with Oliver's beating the crap out of the drug dealer.

So was that Felicity's true motivation for deciding to work for Ray Palmer? I think she told him "I decided I want more out of life" or something similar. I wasn't sure if this was an outcome of Sara's death and her conversations with Oliver, or if she had just decided it would be a smart move to have insider status…

On a purely superficial level, this episode reminded me of just how handsome Routh is.

Two episodes into season 3 and still no salmon ladder. I'm starting to get …um, antsy … yeah, that's the word, antsy.

For me, anyway, the problem isn't that I can't enjoy a show where people are motivated by abstract concepts; the problem is that the show has too few convincing or interesting "people." You have to start with a compelling character before that character's motivations can matter. Gotham isn't doing a very good job of…

Barbara supposedly runs an art gallery, but she must be from a rich family because how else could the Gordon's afford an apartment like that? Unless Jim really is on the take and the whole show is a fake-out, which given how sloppy and stupid it is so far wouldn't surprise me.

I didn't understand, when we saw Gordon looking out the window right after we had seen the assassin standing in front of the mayor's house, why Gordon didn't see the assassin. It seemed like poor editing to me.

Superman, even before he was Superman, was at least an alien youth with developing super powers and a back story he didn't yet know and could discover. Bruce Wayne, before he is Batman, is … what? Richie Rich who's parents were killed. A show like Gotham has a blank to work with, but so far it doesn't seem to have…

Downey Dredds Judge.

This one in particular sounds like it was created especially for critics, who are always willing to overlook the "groan-worthy…predictability" of its premise and portrayals of "unsatisfied privileged white guy" anti-heroes if there are favored actors, showrunners, and plenty of sex. I'm sure it's very well-made and…

Yes, completely skeeved out by that. It certainly made Michaela the most unsympathetic, unlikable, materialistic bigot on the show. I don't think either her or her boyfriend's responses were remotely realistic, let alone anything that approached rational.

The location is the Roof Where We Have Our Important Chats. There is only one in Starling City.

Sons of Anarchy and Friday Night Lights had a kid! I'm looking forward to checking this out. Finally a show that isn't yet another series about rich-people problems.

I thought Eph taking a drink would finally dislodge the lobster on his head, but no such luck.

Vamp Thug's line, "If we wake them, we'd have to feed them" was at least amusing.
