Finn was an invader who slaughtered unarmed villagers, Gustav beat down a man who insulted his leaders' decisions.

In the movie, a point was made of the hero being confused, imbalanced, and incompetent. The show drops the "possibly crazy" angle entirely and lets Cole be driven and levelheaded while injured and outnumbered.

I saw this about a week ago. Cartoon airing schedules are unpredictable.

Yes. If it helps, think of them as pool boy and Admiral de la Vega.

Renard said he would be with the royals because the other guy asked him if he was a mole.
I don't like that they still haven't actually talked to Wu. Nick just tosses him aside and says not to shoot the "vesen" and then they run off separately.

We see her in the background sitting in the audience.

We already have an idea of her life so far, (teenage rebellion, piracy, sand communes, city founding, dance class), and none of it makes her seem like the type to have ever contacted this group of super-terrorists and remain associated with them.

Happy Spoiler: Kate Mara dies immediately.

In Life the wrongfully imprisoned protagonist is released and wins a huge lawsuit turning him into a small millionaire.

I think the lack of big picture thinking a feature of her CMR. We see her try and investigate a corporate cover up but then have her suspicions deleted.

I have spent far too much time watching to quit now.

I need a new show to watch this summer. Is this good? Should I go through the last season?

I regret to inform you that you are, in fact, the fifth.

Wonder twins. That little line dashed any hope of Zan and Jayna ever appearing on the show.

This show makes me feel better about The Following. Not good at all, but better.

Given the focus on romantic pairings, this felt like it was meant to be a filler episode for Valentine's day. Next week we'll be returning to the ongoing conspiracy plot when China White and a resurrected Deadshot hunt down the Merlyns.

Obligatory Batman quote — "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

The DNC had a list they could groom into a viable candidate. Russo was meant to implode close to the election date when these options could not be prepared and when a dramatic fix like choosing the VP would be justified.
