Clearly the show runner felt it was something that needed to be addressed, given he’s talked about it a few times in interviews and did address it in the show. 

The show mentioning that he was being translated from French in the premiere is reason enough for people to wonder about his English speaking. He was with two English speakers at the time - it makes sense to think that if he could speak English, he would’ve been doing it then. Of course, it could be that he was…

I don’t think it’s unusual, but it was clear to me from hearing Mike Schur talk about it (he’d bounced around the idea of The Good Place having a made-up universal language so that people who didn’t speak each other’s languages could communicate and decided that there was a universal translator of sorts) that they…

Mike Schur has mentioned it a few times since last season’s finale (to Rolling Stone and on The Good Place podcast). The reason that they did a whole bit about it was because they set up in the pilot that Chidi was a French speaker from Senegal, and, at the time, they hadn’t intended to spend a lot of time on Earth.…

It was just a thought - Todd Helbing said that Flash’s midseason finale is the 8th episode, so I just figured the other shows were doing the same and the crossover was a standalone arc apart from the introduction of Batwoman, but maybe not.

Maybe they switched it so the show that has the most viewers leads off?

I was always a well-done lover, no beef with pink in the middle passed through these lips, no sir. I also liked to dip it in ketchup.

As someone who still, unfortunately, watches Arrow - it was good to see Josh Segarra show up as the guard obsessed with his gains. I hope there’s more for him in later episodes. 

Seconded

I like that Barry failed to impart the biggest lesson that he learned as a speedster on to his speedster kid. He’s an utter failure in all things - poor Nora. 

I don’t even really understand what’s happening with April. Is she just going offscreensville to live in Seattle and we’ll hear about her vaguely from Jackson when he talks about Harriet or whatever but we’ll never see her again? I thought I might’ve missed something.

- I can’t believe Ollie didn’t tell his wife about the deal until Not!Waller came to arrest him. Like, what?

That’s probably for the best.

Oliver is my fave. He was doing so well this season, but I can’t believe that this man had the time to do an apology tour to people who did nothing but rag on him for half the season and he couldn’t discuss what he was doing with his own wife and kid? Take some time and give them an actual goodbye? Seriously? Didn’t…

Nazis hijacked Barry and Iris’s wedding - Felicity interrupted their vomit ceremony.

Are you not into post-funeral double weddings while both couples are standing next to the officiant’s vomit?

I don’t think they hired her - I think maybe she mentioned that she might like to come work for them at some point though.

I enjoyed tonight’s episode for the character moments between Dig/Lyla and Oliver/Felicity. I thought I would really hate William being brought onto this show, but Oliver and Felicity’s little family is one of my favorite things about the season.

Oliver’s apartment is a different set - guest directors and the stunt coordinator post BTS pics from there all the time. When they aren’t using it for scenes regarding the business, it seems to be a staging area where the cast/crew hang out between takes.

They should’ve brought that sonic scream dampener into the picture a few episodes ago. I would’ve understood her fearing him if she knew she didn’t have a way to defeat him, but she didn’t find that out until last night.
