I'm hewing close to the definition because I was showing it as an example of the definition. When you identify something you use the definition to identify it.

Well CBS is developing a Supergirl series, maybe they got the first half of that name wrong.

It helps that its a cliche that gives power to the character rather than disposing of them. And like all cliches it can be done well.

The whole point is that that the act doesn't seem misogynistic on the surface (though it can be) but taken as a whole the trend is worrying, and points to a more subconcious, cultural sexism. Look, just read the actual definition and point of the site, hopefully Simone can explain it better than I can.

This is bringing up memories of HIMYM where the writers built in the opposite direction of their endgame for years, only to abruptly switch to it for the last episode.

The whole point is just so you're aware when you do it that you're falling into a cliche. If this turns out to have a good impact on Arrow's story it will ultimately be an overall more positive example of fridging.

Oh that's fair. There's examples in the past of watered down characters still being good, but caution is understandable coming from that perspective.

I guarantee you the writers wrote that episode with Scarecrow in mind, and then DC said they couldn't use him, so they improvised. That would make a lot of sense.

Everyone knows all romance is unrealistic and including it in a show about superheroes just makes everything too implausible.

Pretty sure it's Elsa, like the Disney princess. Oh man, do you think Murphy will try for a shameless Disney tie-in and have her develop ice powers?

That scene was probably the scariest in AHS history. Low bar to clear, but there was something truly unsettling about it.

Jessica Lange circa Asylum

Do you think it's too late…to go to medical school?

Oh man, do they.

God help me, I laughed.

Can't find it now, but there's a great one about the AVC/Dissolve split.

Get ready for a season full of amazing.

I guess that makes sense, but it's hard not to sympathize with Simone's frustration that lead her to create the term: female side characters dying or being seriously hurt left and right carelessly, while whenever that happens to men they almost always have a big to-do about it, and then most likely get resurrected.…

Sorry, good to know.

I'm really upset about Sara's death too. And honestly I'm still really unsure about it being a good choice by the writers. All I have is memories of how ownage season 2 was.
