I’ll miss The Gifted.

I am a regular LoT watcher but not Arrow and the salmon ladder clip convinced me to watch the canaries’ episode.

the Balance Ball hiring her boyfriend to write that piece with her—and in a circumstance where the Balance Ball has no idea of the nature of their relationship or how she feels about involving him in her medical decisions—makes absolutely no sense. Pinstripe agreeing to it without checking with her makes no sense.

You know Gideon was dreaming of Rip.

I like this theory.

very into the idea of RB writing them songs

Or, better yet, you should go smash somebody else, because if you’re still thinking about Nate then you know you’re really into him.

they also aired the line “choke on your cocksuredness,” which is still the CXG lyric that most amazes me.

yeah, I don’t buy the magic zoo at all.

Hiirikoski was named tournament MVP

“It sounds like Dr Seuss fucked Maya Angelou in the yuzzmatuzz and then filled her all up with snoozly-scuzz.”

yeah, he really turns as soon as he’s got her in his territory. locking his mother in her room alone was a big red flag, and then you combine it with the dogged refusal to take her medical concerns seriously...

-It was nice of them to throw us a Villanelle kill we could actually root for.

Here’s to a dozen years of That Jerk At Your Viewing Party pretending he can pronounce “João”. 

Straight-up stalker behavior. It’s like they’re all too bamboozled by Michael’s face to see the red flags. Would’ve been interesting if Jane had talked to Petra about it before the boat date, since she’s more cynical/was way less close to Michael than the rest of the cast.

yes, and later Faking It.

whooooooose idea was it to use half the premiere propping up the new guy.

At one point the titular Legends decide “sometimes, we screw things up for the better,” and it should be the team/show motto. And it works on a meta level, too, because all the changes the show made between S1 and S2 definitely screwed it up for the better.

Nate’s pick is especially good.

Lotz’s big scene with Ramona Young, which despite the lackluster CGI is still a highlight, consists of little besides Sara monologuing about the things she’s learned, without the episode spending much time on her learning them
