She's so easy to not care about. We're not used to seeing female characters like this. There have been a few, but they aren't the norm as they are when men are written.

The scene in the noisy restaurant was amazing and amusing.

I really liked that I wasn't spoon-fed the backstory with a lot of clunky exposition. I don't know the comic series at all. I don't know any of the Marvel worlds or characters from the canon.

I'm coming to this episode so much later than the rest of you (11.20.15).

The issue with moving out was for Joan to be physically away from Sherlock, as he is the kind of person who demands all one's attention and energy. Joan needed her own space.

"Yellow fever"?!? WTF? #NotGood

My favorite Mateos are:

My favorite line from the review: " … even the mildest student of TV acting could tell …"

In watching the scene, I was taking Laura as being a headstrong young woman determined to explore what she thought was a burgeoning relationship with her crush, her teacher. I don't think she even noticed the car—at least, I don't remember her noticing the car.

She not only took what was a gift, she took the power of the Grail which is holy, God-given, pure and used it to assuage her frail human rage, hate, and feelings of powerlessness. It was for that misuse that turned her after making the decision to kill V — and making the decision to turn to the Dark.

I don't view the design and colors in Alex's house as being depressing. It's got a lot of open space, room for everyone to have a room of their own, good lighting—though we mostly seem to see the interior in the afternoons and evenings.

I think building the Self is more complicated than placing blame for being broken solely on parents—or that a person builds themselves without any input from their environment. There are some situations, mostly harrowing years of being abused as children and witnessing abuses as children that really do mess a person…

I take it back. Cyrus, knowing power, as Jake and Eli do, is the only other person who could tell Olivia the truth: She wants power and will do whatever she must to attain it.

I'm tired of Cyrus. I'm tired of Papa Pope. I'm tired of Huck. I'm tired of O, so many things in this show.

Any of these characters having sex with any of the other characters has never made sense to me. I don't see them as sexual. They've always played as chess pieces to me. Beautiful, fast-spoken, emoting chess pieces, sure, but not sexual or, come to think of it, human.

I'm ready for Olivia to, at least to herself, shed her pretensions to niceness, fairness, and narcissism and fully embrace those parts of her that are, indeed, manipulative, narcissistic, and always looking to real politick.

Oh, right. I am NOT fully abreast of all the information about the Arrow universe, etc. and plans for the characters in a news show. I suppose I'd better read more.

Hello. No one seems to be talking about the resurrection of Ray Palmer.

I disagree. She's been trained as a lawyer. She understands process. She understands discretion. Also, for all that she's got an impetuous streak, when she's been brought into the loop and given full information, nothing goes wrong—she never goes off plan.

I like the idea of Netflix taking it on as they would give it a good budget and seem to have a taste for the dark side of comic universes. I sometimes think they go too dark, but maybe Constantine will remind them to leaven the dark with Constantine's sense of humor (which is pervasive).
