Honestly, part of me wishes that the Bruce Wayne scenes were flashbacks on a live-action Batman series (like how Arrow does the island/Hong Kong flashbacks), and not on this show. Because I enjoy the hell out of seeing young Bruce develop as a character, but unless the show's going to jump ahead a decade between…

Honestly, every time Nygma is on-screen I just want to stop watching the show forever. Such an absolute waste of airtime. At least Barbara has contributed to the plot in vague ways. Most of the reason I'm still following the show at all is because I watch it with a friend who's enjoying it so I'm willing to put up…

There are many JL/JLU episodes where I'd loved to have watched them record the voices and this is one of them. For this episode (and also the Deadman one), to get the tone right they'd have Michael Rosenbaum read Flash-as-Lex's dialogue aloud, then Clancy Brown would do his best to mimic Rosenbaum's delivery. And…

Yeah, but I'd argue there's a difference between "Mako's kind of an idiot" and "Mako's actually masterminding some hilarious conspiracy to destroy Future Industries because reasons."

Yeah, I thought that the degeneration of the 'obvious' pairing from season one was some pretty solid writing and a subversion of a few tropes.

Wait, there are people who think that Mako and Korra belong together? Like, seriously? Because the show's really been at its weakest when the Mako/Korra/Asami love triangle was a major plot point. I can see the writers playing the Korra/Asami pairing with a light touch to keep from getting conservative parents…

When I was in the 6th grade in the early 90's, one of my classes actually had to do a report based on this song. We were broken into groups, were assigned a verse of the song, and had to research all of the events described in the lyrics — after listening to our teacher's 18th-generation copy-of-a-copy cassettes of…

In a few versions of the tabletop and video game RPGs, there are different classifications of Jedi based on their specialties and talents, yes. And some of this eventually filtered out into the EU. The usual classifications are Consular, Guardian, and Sentinel. Consulars are the diplomats and sages, the Guardians are…

I'll admit, I was reaching there. I just couldn't think of anything I'd actually recently watched that burned as slow as Constantine, aside from Penny Dreadful, and that only had eight episodes in season one.

I've been enjoying the show pretty heavily for the most part, and hope that it manages a last-minute reprieve from the network.

Five years ago, apparently. Keep up, man.

I watched this with a friend of mine, and when they got back to the Wonder Wharf with the black garlic I leaned over and said to the friend "Y'know, one of the great things about this show is that there's really about a 50/50 chance that the punchline is Gene screwing it up in the end anyways." (though once they…

Did Xander ever really get a comeuppance for specifically that? Because all I recall is Buffy treating Xander like he's an amazing guy for the brave and difficult act of not raping her while she was under the influence, and then a year later he broke Cordelia's heart. While it took a more serious look at the issue…

Yup. That sure is a Star Wars, alright.

Well, it's a matter of context. Love potions on a kid's show are one thing. But, say, on BtVS, Xander uses a love spell to try to magically enslave Cordelia as part of a revenge scheme and not only is it actually seen as a romantic gesture but convinces her to get back together with him. And this is a show that, in…

When I saw where the love potion thing was going, I was a little concerned as well at first (as I'm one of those folks who gets a little squicked out about those sorts of plots these days). From the original synopsis, I'd been expecting something more along the lines of some wacky Carpet Diem-like shenanigans. But…

Fair enough.

My take on the matter is 'the people who actually give a shit (for instance, the people who would know what Vaapad is) probably already know that.'

"Carter was banned from various message boards because he flamed Shayera haters. I feel like that’s a meta joke about how the Internet helped spread Shayera hatred during this show’s early seasons."
That's because it was. They talk about it in the commentaries.

Yeah, that I knew. But I didn't want to get too 'EU trivia' about it.
