That's why Bird's game was so strong. No one ever saw it coming.

I was hoping you'd suspend it this week haha

So, like a full-on Wesley Wyndam-Pryce character arc, following a brief stint as Angelus?

B-minus is an interesting way of saying "This show has finally hit its stride."

"Glucas? Wait, isn't that what you pretend you're allergic to, Ray?"

When Amaya got her powers back and threw Merlyn. I was howling.

They've done a good job with character pairings this season. They'll give one character some shine one week then fade them into the backdrop a bit the next to let someone else get the spotlight, but it never feels forced.

You know what? I liked this episode.

I liked this episode more than just about any of the ones of Torchwood I saw when giving it a shot.

Honestly, I wouldn't know about it or be watching it without them going this route.

Depends on the show. Buffy handled it well, and that was like 15 years ago.

I didn't realize he was actually gay. I just assumed gender is just kind of fluid for his species.

"I'm not prejudiced, though!"

Different guns, I think. The splintery gun kills both target and user in one shot. The one the prince was using just seemed to kind of hold them off.

The Big Bad is bac—*gets tasered*

Easily line of the episode. Wouldn't be shocked if it ends up being line of the season.

American, so this was the first episode for me. I liked it. Dig the characters, love the tone, enjoy the (immediately realized) crossover potential, already head-over-heels for April. What's not to like?

Oh, I get it. "The Pilot."

I was cool with it when it was Laurel, but Thea?!

So, this was a uh… little heavy-handed.
