To be fair, I liked Zoom for the first 15 episodes. It only went downhill once he took off his mask and they tried to give him more complexity.

I'll never get over the Penguin/Riddler roommate sitcom sub-plot. It sounds like a joke someone on here would make, but nope, it was a real thing. And it was gloriously ridiculous.

I notice that people often read back the views of the later-Miller into TDKR, which I don't think is completely fair. For example, while the later-Miller would do a terrible job writing Superman, I think the Superman of TDKR is pretty complex and actually makes a lot of sense given the context the story is set in.

Don't forget crappy lawyer.

Guess that means Barry has a crush on Wally now.

Maybe another scene or two between Caitlin and Killer Frost comparing/contrasting their lives. I liked the little scene with them talking about their parents and we find out Caitlin's mom isn't all that great of person. For a minute Caitlin felt like an actual character, who could do more than deliver medical jargon…

I get the impression the whole 'Zoom is serial killer' backstory was thought up pretty late in this season's planning. It just comes out of nowhere and creates so many plot holes. They should've never included Jay Garrick. Plot-wise the only purpose he served was to inform Team Flash about Zoom/earth-2, which Wells-2…

I seem recall someone on JJ mentioning Captain America by name (Trish maybe?).

Sorry for being a month late (catching up on AoS now), but what was the Daredevil reference?

Still a better Superman than Henry Cavill. (Not that I blame him; that's all on Snyder and Goyer.)

This is exactly what I worried would happen with Zoom. No matter who he turned out to be, it couldn't live up to the menacing presence he started out as. Some villains, like Slade Wilson or the Reverse-Flash, can have some complexity and humanity to them. Others, like Zoom or Ra's al Ghul (the Berlantiverse version)…

Am I the only one who burst out laughing at that part?

What's even stupider is that we saw in one of the earth-2 flashbacks that Jay showed up at Star Labs to reveal Wells-2's particle accelerator is what created the metahumans. His point in revealing this was to expose Wells, when all it would actually do is make it easier to find out Zoom's real identity.

I haven't read the TFA novelization yet, but I read some articles about it. Apparently there's a line about Rey spending a lot of her free time on flight simulators (I'm guessing in that little area of civilization we saw in the film). So while she didn't have any actual flight experience, she had simulated experience…

You sound like a creationist talking about evolution. You're insulting an entire intellectual tradition out of pure ignorance.

The term has come to cover a bit broader of a characterization, yet it loses its contemptible edge in doing so. I don't generally have a problem with near-perfect characters in sci-fi/fantasy and I really fail to see the inherent issue of writing a wish-fulfillment character. The badness of stories with self-insert…

Much like the Flash season 1 finale, we have Barry screwing around with the timeline without caring the slightest on how it effects everyone else. When are time masters going to step in? He should be serving a life sentence.

Mark Hamill has said that Luke Skywalker was George Lucas's self-insert character (which is pretty obvious to me—I figured that out on my own) and yet in my 20+ years as a Star Wars fan, I've not once seen Luke criticized as a Mary Sue. Not that I think he actually is, just that you can make a far better case for him…

1) Okay, at least I convinced you on the philosophy of language. But again, looking at the context in which Joe said it, what do you think Joe meant by it? If he was merely Barry’s legal guardian, why would he point out how fucked up Barry’s crush on Iris is?

There was some real quality dialogue this episode: "I've taken it, I just haven't *taken* it yet."
