I’m pretty sure Ava’s just plain lesbian. The first indication of her sexuality is her referring to herself as “not the husband kind”.

Just as not all mutants with powers have some weird physical characteristic, not all mutants with weird physical characteristics have powers. So some kid somewhere is born covered in fur, or with a beak for a mouth. It’s weird, and it’s gonna get some news headlines, but unless/until that kids starts displaying…

No one noticing mutants until recent times has always been the case, in almost every continuity. If you go back to the original 60's comics, the fact that so many mutants are turning up all over the place is attributed to the radiation given off by atomic tests (hence the X-Men’s little used nickname, “Children of the…

All the agrees.

I don’t think it’s that the scripts get polished less. I think it’s that, since each season’s trying to tell one long story, if you have a few episodes that kinda suck, they have a poisoning effect on the season as a whole. If episodes are more self-contained, then a single bad episode can be just a bad episode, and…

A lot of their budget was tied up in getting New York City filming permits instead of Vancouver filming permits.

Parasitic alien birds are creepy and all, but you really shouldn’t call your sci-fi monster a “Shrike”. It can’t helped but be compared to THE Shrike, and come up lacking.

I’m waiting for someone to bring up that Sanctum, despite its body-snatching cult leaders, is probably the least murderous society they’ve encountered.

Streaming video that you can only watch on the itty-bitty screen of your cell phone? Hard pass.

Most of human history (or pre-history, I suppose) consisted of small hunter/gatherer tribes. Back then, you didn’t have to worry if the tomato you’re eating was harvested by an exploited underclass or sprayed with environmentally harmful pesticides, because you just found it growing in the wild and picked it yourself.

It calls to mind maybe my favorite pearl of wisdom from the show:

I think you could make a pretty awesome movie out of “The Gunslinger”. It’s in trying to adapt the whole series that problems would arise.

Season 5 started strong but ended weak.

Murphy & Emori?

So, basically, this gun punishes you for having an unusual first name. Jeff can find a socially acceptable way to use his bullet, because Jeff is such a common name. But his dad, Otis? Good luck with that one.

The real fantasy is that any high school would splurge on lockers big enough to fit an entire person inside them.

During the crossover, it’d be hilarious if you got Sara, Ava, Oliver, Nyssa, Constantine, and Alex in one room, and Ava slowly realizes that her girlfriend has slept with everyone there.

Whatever Mick expresses a desire to see in the season premiere, will be delivered within the year: Aruba in Season 2, dragons in Season 4.

“Wait a minute, it hit me again. You know what this means? We’ve been watching Justice League International all this time!!”

Apparently there’s a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle that someone at Warner Bros. has been trying to get made for AGES, and until they give up on it, they’ve effectively called dibs on the characters, keeping them from appearing in live action anywhere else.
