Thus @avclub-2ffe5ae29bb6b60145835654b541b443:disqus's original argument. It's a no-win scenario.

Plus, wasn't it Jay who taught Barry to create mirage duplicates of himself? It's entirely possible Zoom could appear as two different people in the same scene.

Pi's probably in the same boat as Clerks in terms of being shot that way to keep the budget down. Still, that shouldn't matter—they both used the B&W to their advantage.

Did he hang out with Doctor T.O. Morrow a lot?

Y'know, I love the Barry-Iris pairing in the comics, but the fact is that that boat sailed when they made Barry and Iris adoptive brother and sister in the series. That's the big change of canon, and it happened right off the bat.

I dunno. Half a season of pretty heavy screen time seems like a substantial investment, particularly given how much of the first half was dedicated to putting pieces in place for Legends of Tomorrow.

Last season it looked like this was a stage the team had to get through on their way to Flash becoming the superhero he's supposed to be. Remember, the STAR Labs jail started under Wells-1's guidance, so it was bound to be a bit of a twisted idea. But Gideon revealed that Barry eventually becomes the Chief of CCPD, so…

Did he murder Turtle, or just lobotomize him?

"Let's try flipping the release dates! That's a good trick!"

The bigger question is, since Barry inherited STAR Labs and presumably Wells-1's money, why is he still working as a crime scene tech?

Eh, it's not that bad an argument. This was his wife, and if Joe wanted to, he could've looked for her, even if just to see if she was still alive. Iris, without a cop's resources, found out pretty quickly that Francine had a kid. Joe's not looking like the best detective, from Wally's point of view.

I suspect that Earth 2 has more metahumans, so Jay still might be more experienced on account of having faced more/tougher opposition.

I think they'd need some Flashback scenes of Jay as a happy-go-lucky Golden Age sort of Flash, to show that the confrontation changed him. Instead, the little we've seen of Jay on Earth-2, he seems to have been the same kind of sourpuss even when he had his powers.

I might be off my rocker, but the way that Gjokaj uses his crutch takes me out of the show. I'm no expert on leg injuries, but I'm pretty sure he's not supposed to be leaning over at a 45 degree angle like that when he walks, and I don't recall his gait being that far out of whack last season.

I'm not commenting on the quality of the Danish Girl or Redmayne's performance (haven't seen them), just pointing out that over the past decade the Academy really hasn't shied away from movies that portray LGBT stories. Whether they've had good taste in the stories and performances they've chosen to reward is a…

So Carol gets nominated for both leads and adapted screenplay, and Redmayne gets nominated for the Danish Girl, and this is a vile snub of queer cinema comparable to the near-complete shutout of people of color in every major category? Really?

If true, that's brutally stupid. Introducing a Berlantiverse version of Ted Kord in Arrow could only raise that character's profile so people actually give a damn when he's in a movie. And I have to wonder at the idea that WB would keep Martian Manhunter or The Atom out of their movies if either of those guys became a…

I think that "I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six." is an old cop axiom, standing for the idea that while on duty, it's better to defend yourself if you feel your life might be in danger than to die because you hesitated. It's an abused concept, but cops do actually sometimes find themselves in…

As my accountant used to say, "If I had his money, I'd burn my money." The makers of TFA are more than happy to burn those Return of Kings dollars in favor of the enormous sums they're actually making.

I think that by now, GRRM has lost control of what in his story will be considered "canon." Given that the show has greater reach than the books, and the show's almost certain to conclude long before the books do, it's likely that most of GoT's fandom will consider the last (howevermany) books to be something between…
