The only times I’ve really liked James is when he’s acted as a sounding board for Kara to work out some of the show’s bigger ideas—like back when he convinced Kara to stop locking humans up without due process, and this season when he helped her understand why people might see her as a god. I think he’s best when he’s…

Breathing fresh air didn’t go so well for Maya Tess on her previous post-apocalyptic show.

Also Ming-Na Wen had knee surgery.

I hate to burst your villainous bubble, but it’s just a UI bug—your superpower can be countered by refreshing the page, which should make all the stars reappear.

This feels like a great place to point out that the Chrome extension Kinjamprove comes with a block function.

Felicity even cracked a joke about Black Siren desensitizing them to Nazi Tommy when Sara was, like, one room over.

“3. Did Paul Blackthorne miss the production memo that the rest of the nazi doppleganger characters weren’t doing German accents?”

I took “intimate” as a euphemism for sex. I dunno, think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

I was apparently in such a rush to explain things that I missed that “direct from Earth-1!” line! I figured he was just taunting Barry a lot because Eobard is a douche in every universe.

Apparently at least part of that scene was ad-libbed!

Jax not knowing about the multiverse was kinda weird. I know they needed someone to play newbie audience surrogate but making it the resident time travelling spaceship mechanic didn’t make a ton of sense. Where have you been, dude? Half the people in that room were from alternate universes!

One night stand with whom? She told Maggie she didn’t like “being intimate”, so I doubt she was having too many hook-ups with men, and I also think she would have mentioned something during her coming out storyline if she’d had any with women. I’m not saying she didn’t drink and party, but I think the emphasis was…

I genuinely hope one day the Arrow writers will realize the reason people shipped Olicity in the first place was because it was a breath of fresh air compared to the dour angst-fest going on between Oliver and Laurel at the time.

Also a sort of “gay second adolescence” can be a very real thing. Alex herself has said she never really had any relationships before Maggie.

I was watching with my dad—who’s only seen maybe a dozen episodes of season 1 Arrow and probably remembers none of them—and kept pausing to try to explain who everyone was. I was doing okay until we got to Earth-X Reverse Flash using Harrison Well’s face and I paused, started to explain, then said, “You know what?…

I’m not even sure Zari and Amaya’s roles are all that similar, especially compared to Nate and Ray—Amaya’s the good soldier, Zari’s a rebel. Their personalities are certainly different enough that they both bring something different to the show.

Arrow.

It gives me hope that even with all these relationship shenanigans afoot, the show remembers that Kara’s truest love will always be food.

I mean, she technically did.

I’m not a Mon-El fan either but the J’onn and Sam plotlines kept this enjoyable for me. I really hope they learned their lesson from last season and don’t let him suck the life out of all the show’s other plotlines again.
