The one thing that struck me was her seemingly casual attitude. A, leaving him alone so soon after a relapse (although their relationship has changed from companion-recovering addict, and therapeutically I don't know what's right to do), and B, her comment that she just wanted to make sure he was OK. It seemed like…

I'm more confused about Oliver's allegiances as they're appearing from day to day. The way I'm seeing it, with minor spoilers if you don't watch "next week on"s…

But timing-wise, how does it work? Flash is on Tuesdays, Arrow on Wednesdays. If, as of last night, Oliver is still on the dark side, why would he show up in Central City to help, presumably prior to re-emerging as Good Oliver in the Arrow season finale?

I am happily married to a lady myself, but I actually found myself asking, Why did they spend 2 seasons apparently waxing Colton Haynes's face? Last night he finally looked like an attractive human male, not a CW-bot/mannequin.

Note: just to be clear, I have no problem with this idea, aside from some of the legitimate questions raised by other sane folks.

Well, at least there weren't any girls. Ew. Men busted ghosts like God intended. Moyvin and the flavin and in the basement and so alone so I lash out.

Why are they ruining my childhood?

Admittedly, most of the comics I follow have some sort of "crimefighter" angle, but like you say, I can't think of a TV show that doesn't.

Well, yes and no. Both Crime Procedural and Detective Show involve the commission and possible solving of a crime, but after that, they sort of become very particular subgenres - almost in opposition to each other.

I concur.
But honestly, every once in a while I ask myself, "Why? Why am I so sure it's the best game?"

She basically Britta'd it.

At the same time, I think the greasepaint under the domino masks is important - Oliver, Roy, and Sara all did it, but during last week's ep, I noticed Laurel doesn't… and it looks weird.

Audience.

Jon Hamm? In any capacity?

I think it got better for the back half of the episode, but for a while I was like, "So, did they go over schedule filming this with Murray, then realize they'd forgot to mic the characters?"

I thought the same thing - and then I thought, "Wait, even if NBC is desperate, there's no way an actual Kickstarter project could have afforded a targeted ad on national broadcast network TV, right?"

Unfortunately, no matter how much I want to like the show, too much of this season felt like 'a plot without an outside world.' I applaud not spoon-feeding us info, but at times this season it seemed borderline incoherent, and papered over with John muttering a "clever" or "badass" quip.

I do think it's funny, though, that we never see him in- or exhale. There is, however, much smacking of lips and gesturing and general hard-boiled grimacing.

Pavement's Box Elder, and that song on the Blue Moon beer commercial.
