Oh, thank you for the link! And yes, her betrayal arc has potential. We'll see what happens with it.

It probably won't become a favorite, but I enjoyed it well enough; will watch again. The characters at Richard's castle are my favorite so far; I also want Isabella to be awesome, based on the casting, but I fear she'll end up being the show's Wyldstyle—far more competent than anyone else, but still secondary because…

Enjoyed the episode, did not enjoy Kid Samaritan, and wish the show had gone in another direction for the voice of the enemy A.I.

Finally got to watch this episode, and it's led me to believe that Selfie, depending on the ending, may just be everything I ever wanted in a romantic comedy. This fucking episode.

I really hope that's not the case; we just had Rosa reveal her capacity to be incredibly cruel, and I really don't want the show's only recurring LGBTA+ characters to both be bad people. Plus, the whole insemination thing strikes me as pretty solid evidence that she is just as disaster as she seems. Now, given the…

[What the? I didn't want this to post yet, Disqus!]

Fair enough. : ) Thank you!

I don't agree, but let's say I do: this again, brings us to the point that you could say the same thing, to various extents, about several other cast members, especially the S.T.A.R. Labs crew, whose purpose in each episode is explicitly to serve as a support group for the Flash, whose interactions are as satellite…

That's…not what agency is, though? Agency is the ability to make a choice, and have that choice have narrative weight. Or, to paraphrase one of the sites that made me familar with the concept*, it's the ability to exert power or influence over the plot through decisions based on their own characterization, in a way…

For the past month or so every review has made sure to mention there's a problem with Iris, and the more the series goes on, the more I'm sure I have no idea what they're talking about. What, exactly, is the problem meant to be? That she's enthusiastic about the Flash? That she can be reckless, kinda like Barry…

Are you suggesting a sort of reverse Scooby-Doo, where Frank and Andy: Spirit Cops attempt to solve seemingly mundane crimes that always turn out to be supernatural? I'd watch it.

Jane the Virgin wasn't on, so I decided to see if Sleepy Hollow could at least do decent finale. Between killing off Irving, the pacing, Katrina, and the "twist" of having John Noble kill off Moloch, this episode was the C-gradiest show I've seen in a good long while.

While Jane the Virgen may indeed be "an immensely clever exploration of sex, religion, and class", this episode made me realize how much I wish it would explore pregnancy with that same skill. Part of my initial issue with the premise is the fact that the act of being pregnant is a big deal, so it's a bit dismaying to…

A reaction post on Tumblr mentioned researching the issue after the episode and finding out that Cary in theory has thirty days to withdraw the plea, which sounds plausible enough to be believable as both reality and a possible direction. Is it actually true? I don't know.

Ah, thank you. : )

Is Philip Roth an existing character whose face I haven't tied to a name? Because I initially thought that Henry had said "Philip Broth"—as in, he'd named his food—which I quite liked.

I feel the same way, at times. This episode did a lot to make me feel more optimistic about things, with most of the secrets coming out and Michael being positioned as a legitimate love interest rather than obstacle. I still have the sinking feeling that the endgame will be Jane and Rafael staying together and…

I think it might have something to do with the fact that he was on a satellite phone, and therefore the conversation was tailored around the fact that Samaritan would be privy to it. At least that's what I got from it.

I'm really enjoying this season so far. While I really hope future episodes don't marginalize the girls to the degree they have been so far, the ones we've been getting have been, surprisingly, consistently enjoyable in a way last season's weren't—or at least, those I managed to watch.

I tend to have a high tolerance for misrepresentations of the legal profession—I'm a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney fan—but yeah, surely one could have both sexy fun times and legal accuracy? Or at least just try to see if it works?
