The last time we tried that, we ended up with the Great Recession.

I would honestly rather have a ninja trial-by-combat in the courtroom than whatever this show is trying to pass off as a trial, because then you can justify it not having RULES, MARVEL, THERE ARE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE.

Florida Man, Esq.! (Texas Man. Same difference, really.)

Ironically, that's probably one of the parts of S2 I disliked the most. We had a nice moral dichotomy going, show! Why do that?!

I'd really like to see someone try the [mild spoiler??] "lemme soliloquize straight to the jury while supposedly examining a witness, that's cool with you, right, Your Honor?" gambit in trial, but it's definitely not going to be me.

Oh, no, I completely get where you're coming from — I don't mean to single you out! Your post was thoughtful and evenhanded, and you brought up most of the reasons I'm personally still a little frustrated by Lexa's death. I saw it coming from a narrative standpoint if nothing else (seriously, advocating for peaceful…

While I agree with a lot of this, I think lumping lesbian and bi fans together in the case of The 100 specifically undercuts the fact that they're different groups with similar goals and aspirations in their postapocalyptic murder teenage teevee revue or whatever. (Disclosure: lady, bi, started The 100 prior to Season…

Other queer characters on TV such as… the main protagonist of The 100? Who's still alive and kicking?
