Giving up or conceding is not in my DNA

Allison wins, if only for snagging a cheesesteak in round three. That’s like getting Mike Trout or ‘Zeke Elliot there in a sports draft.

I would like to once again point out that Terrence Howard, the top billed actor on the show has an entire section on his Wikipedia page labeled “Domestic violence incidents” so if they don’t mind keeping him on the show with that, it doesn’t seem that falsely reporting an attack would really keep Smollet off the show…

The one thing everyone can agree on is Chicago law enforcement shit the bed.

I was hoping the last take was just “I’m Oprah, bitch”.

Oh please. This was really about some crusty white guys who didn’t want to be outshined by one of the most famous black women in America, especially not for the sake of diversity.

Apparently, it wasn’t just her own name she declined to say with 60 Minutes’s requisite lifelessnes, but she was also told she had “too much emotion” in her voice while reporting out stories. “So I was working on pulling myself down and flattening out my personality — which, for me, is actually not such a good thing,”…

You’re telling me a show run by old white guys who let let numerous men get away with abusive behavior for years tried to sap the personality out of the most famous beloved person on the planet, a person who happens to be a black woman? I’m shocked. The most shocking development of my very very tired life. 

Fantastic callback in this episode: As Zari and Nate thought in the timeloop episode, Mick doing laundry was suspicious. Because he wasn’t actually doing laundry, the laundry basket was full of fan mail that he was secretly reading AND ANSWERING!

Ok. my main takeaway from this is that we really really need to limit the lengths of shifts of emergency workers and police. 12+ hours on a shift is a lot for fucking anyone, let alone with people that have to respond to high-stress situations and make split second life and death decisions. Not excusing police…

Gary goes to whomever treats him the best. He’s a natural lackey.

Ray gave himself to Neron because he has faith in his friends, Gary because he has no faith. If we know one thing about our Ray-Ray it’s that he truly believes that the Legends, together, will get the best of anyone or any thing in their way because they fight for what’s right. When he gave himself he knew that this…

Brandon Routh was on the Crisis on Earth-X crossover and Ray saw Supergirl in passing and said something like her reminding him of his cousin. He’d be BFFs with Kara if ever given the chance.

Granted, the amount of time and money he put into the case exceeded the cost of the fine, but he was committed to proving his point.

Gotta disagree on LOTW: After all the heaviness of this Avengers/GOT weekend I really appreciated Nate demanding, “What kind of a punkass hug was that?”

Here’s at least a couple of things to add on Legends. Ray trying to science a solution was so in character.

Apparently during a heat wave in New Zealand over the 2017-18 summer, “the risk of violent incidents increased in hot conditions, the department said, and measures had to be taken to try to keep staff and prisoners safe,” according to The Guardian. After that record-breaking summer, prison officials purchased about…

I was so happy we got powers this episode.

It’s mentioned that some or all of Gary’s cheeriness may be a facade. I’m wondering how much of his presenting his lost nipple as a badge of honor is for show. A shiver went down my back when I realized Neron meant literally whole. Since Gary seemed proud of losing his nipple I thought he would reject it, but in…

Please tell me Mick’s not leaving the show. I don’t think I can handle that and evil Ray at the same time....
