Having now seen Checkov's giant crossbow, and no matter how unrealistic (too slow to reload, to hard to him) a weapon that crossbow is, that it kills or badly wounds at least one of the dragons. I can't imagine that they'd spend so much time intro-ing the crossbow only to have it go unused.

On thing that struck me last night that hadn't previously, Euron Greyjoy was Balon Greyjoy's "little brother."

Fun episode…however, as a musical, it only highlights how good the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical ep Once More With Feeling was. This ep only had a few scanty musical numbers and only one original song. The BtVS musical was song/dance from front to back and all original, character driven songs that drove plot.

Agree. Thought that the second I saw it happening; that it was all the arbitrary brutality that you could possibly fear from having super beings in your society. It was deadly force and should have actually liquified her.

R2 was programmed to wake up when Rey returned to the base. Based on the memories that she recalls when she touches the lightsaber at Maz's, Rey was the last of Luke's students to survive. She was hidden on Jakku, her memories clouded, and there was obviously a protocol in place to "reawaken" her. The elements were:…

Spoilers…spoilers…Did anyone else think that Luke has hidden Rey on Jakku and used the Force to make everyone who knew her forget her? I think that the force has even been used to cloud her memory. Clouding that starts to dissipate when she touches the light saber at Maz's bar.

My favorite fan theory:
H+H=PO (Hotpie + Hodor = Pie Odor)

If Nanda Parbat is really supposed to be Nanga Parbat, a mountain in the Pakistani Himalaya, then getting there from anywhere in the US would take days and the fact that the cast of Arrow pops in and out of there like it's the coffee shop on Friends is weird. (The plane journey to Pakistan would by itself take 20+…

My guess is that The Canary comes back as a result of Flash/Reverse-Flash screwing with the time stream. Rip Hunter then appears to investigate all the time instability. Having Darvill play him is a clever way to make Rip Hunter even more of a DC Universe Dr. Who stand-in. And isn't that what the Time Lords do, fix…

Call this overly technical if you want, but the Earth rotates around the sun and our solar system is part of an ever expanding universe moving out from the point of the Big Bang. If you were to travel in time, but not space, you'd find that the Earth was not in the same place in your destination time as it was in your…

OK so most you have probably seen the trailer for the next ep of the show, but, if you haven't, stop reading this….spoiler ahead…ok, it's probably not a big deal anyway, but, as it turns out, in the trailer, someone is walking towards Oliver's body and we see the leg and boot…there really are only a few people whose…

If there are Lazarus Pits in the Arrow-verse, why wasn't Sara taken to them??

I'm just —happily—shocked that it was as faithful to the story and the character as it was. I expected a complete bastardization.

Unfortunately, I think the answer is no.

Laurel is unstable and twitchy, full of weird self-drama and manufactured crisies. Black Canary is always portrayed in the comic books and cartoons as poised, self-assured, resourceful and tough. Sara had that inner calm and easy humor. Laurel can't have that because the actress doesn't have that.

How demoralizing. I'm sorry but Laurel just doesn't carry herself like a superhero. She's too brittle, too defensive, too unconfident and too needy. Sara actually did carry herself like a superhero. Can't believe they kept Laurel and got rid of Sara all because of a character name. What a bad move.

Good review. Unfortunately, this show has all the problems that "prequels" usually do, the main one being that the viewer already know what happens and so making the story interesting becomes almost impossible. Will "Cat" be killed by the child traffickers? No, she grows up to be Catwoman. Will Penguin succeed in his…

Wow, can't believe they've gone through an entire season only to get to the exact same ending as last season.

Is no one going to comment on the shocking reveal that Mycroft Holmes is secretly in charge of the Iron Bank of Braavos? We always knew he commanded a lot of resources, but…wow…

I can't believe Crixus killed Ollie's mom, but she did seem strikingly like a Roman patrician so it made sense storywise. Plus, I can see him thinking of it as revenge for Diona's death in Gods of the Arena. That was just so unfair.
