Ironically I thought it all worked best when Ollie was gone. There were way too many threads otherwise, and removing one large one temporarily really let the show breathe.

I don't want to go (there)

I feel bad for Mr. Starkitty

His approach must be the same as Evangeline Lilly in Lost. She could carry off the emotional beats by basically saying "I don't know about any of this crazy stuff, but I know how a person should feel in a crazy situation". Joe nails it every time

It's sad, but Caitlyn/Barry shippery was the first thing I hoped for after this episode

The EP said Robbie Amell was written out due to his burgeoning movie career. At best, it might be once or twice a season guest star thing. If his movie career fizzles, expect him likely to come back as a regular in some future season.

Didn't P Diddy threaten to sue a columnist who called him "ubiquitous" until someone explained to him what it meant?

I think Season One is ok because it leads directly into the excellent Season Two. Season Three was all over the place and squandered a lot of narrative goodwill.

there was no choking in my copy. Do I get a refund?

Oh that one's brilliant. And the ep where they visit Bill's family in New Orleans.

He wouldn't put down the vidya game.

Gotham's Most Compelling Character=Damning with faint praise.

That word jumped out at me too, and I uttered an involuntary scoff.

I read that tag line was added after they found out it wasn't renewed. They felt it implied he went on having adventures, and that the audience would like that.

There's a very successful model for a Doctor-like haughtily superior, truly alien female division of government in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan novels. I imagine even though the Time Lord council we've seen is male, the females may run a different branch in very interesting ways.

Thanks for the very articulate comment on the Doctor as a woman. I feel like you're right in that it will depend on a great audition, although I think it's a step backward to try and name actresses we know who could play the Doctor, because the likelihood is that it would be a relative unknown, as with Matt Smith and…

This show is the high school drama club version of stuff Joss Whedon did.

Or one action scene and good character writing, relevant to people and events we care about.

I took it to mean Arrow (season two) is artful and the Flash is deeply felt. Both these things are true.
