I was in and out this episode so I've run out of snark. I did love Arrow surprisingly though.

Normally I'd agree, but I feel like Jason Rothenberg wants to be able to make reservations at a restaurant under his real name again and that's not going to happen if he kills another character we like, let alone another same-sex love interest of Clarke's.

Monty: OK, well I had five more minutes of mentioning all of the ways Bellamy could mess this up, but I guess that's just an exercise in futility.

This Week In Lindsey Morgan Got Robbed at the Emmy's
The fact I'm sold on the "ALIE-stroke-tumor" making her want to kill Murphy and actually thought it could happen (not quite, but still) was entirely her acting. Kudos.

Monty: (speech about dire situation)
Kane: Is there any good news?
Me: Jasper might die first?

Eddie: We're not going to let you make decisions like that anymore.
Me: THIS GUY GETS IT!!

Now history's all screwed up and now it's up to us to unscrew it up. Half the time we screw things up even worse…

I like that it was handled in one episode and that Rip accepted it after hearing a compare/contrast on the team under him v.s. the team under Sara. The crew could have easily bullied him into it. On The Flash it would've dragged out for half a season and devolved into a petty debate.

Dear Victor Garber's Agent's Social Media Intern,

Rip: Fine! Let's have a vote.
—Five Minutes Later—
Rip: OK, well according to the Electoral College, Gideon has nine votes so I'm the Captain now.

Rip has become a real nuisance for the Legends, and the team turns to the Time Lords’ barbaric and dangerous “cognitive invasion” process to get back the Rip they used to know.

I thought about telling you about her Instagram. Also, @disqus_BrAjiaqw7P:disqus, doesn't make you a misogynist. You don't hate women.

"Bad judgment? Sign me up!!"

This made me smile. I'm happy for you.

Listen, we can get a review at 10 PM that consists of five paragraphs on the race and gender politics of people who ship Amaya and Sara or we can get a readable review at (probably) 4 AM on March 8th. You choose.

I've been having a hard time making fun of Legends of Tomorrow. I don't even think it really qualifies as Diet Doctor Who anymore, but I imagine that talk can be saved for next Tuesday. This seems to be the pattern of CW shows that aren't The Flash. They have amazing second seasons. Unfortunately they grow the beard,

They've painted themselves into a corner on this whole "how will we escape the radiation" thing. I get the oncoming radiation. Hell, I'm even willing to let Raven go to space and make magic blood. However, now there are no known shelters and this event is mere weeks away? This climax is going to be super disappointing.

The sole thing about this episode that worked for me was the look of somber optimism on Bellamy Blake's face upon learning that Octavia is alive. Bob Morley had some great expressive acting in that moment.

And maybe I missed it, but how the hell did an army of gorillas march down Main Street without a cop in sight?
