I’m actually curious if they’ll go into Emiko’s combat background. This show’s been kinda variable with how much training a character has to go through to be a certified badass—Oliver and Sara had their five years of hell; Diggle, Rene, and Dinah had (mostly unseen) military/police training; OG Laurel...hung out with…

Fair warning before you start: you know how Riverdale briefly had a teacher/student relationship before everyone involved realized what a bad idea it was and quickly nixed it? Yeah, PLL did the same, except they decided to go all-in and make it one of the primary romances—arguably THE primary romance—of the series. The…

That salute was so weird. It’s like they needed a way for Iris to figure out she was former military and went “what’s the absolute clunkiest way we can drop this hint?”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show try to crunch an entire season—honestly, multiple seasons—into two hours before, so hats off for kinda making it work, Timeless. There were a lot of wonky bits and the five years later stuff—little Amy and Flynn especially—were a bit too neat a bow on top for me, but I’ll forgive a…

In case anyone missed it: Mick’s pen name is the same as the author of the book Mona gave Nora a couple episodes ago. He’s published and everything!

I mean Ray Palmer is pretty much a character defined by the fact that he suffered a terrible loss and wanted to turn it into something positive, so the idea that losing Sara would suddenly turn him into Rambo is pretty ridiculous.

If they ever did a crossover it would be something small and probably just a single character—like Barry’s appearance in Supergirl S1. But honestly Black Lightning is very much its own thing and I’m not sure it would even be a good idea to widen it up to the wider multiverse (I’m also still very unclear if the…

I honestly thought it was a Court of Owls mask the first time around, and then he did the COIE tagline and I realized Psycho-Pirate made a helluva lot more sense.

I’d really love them to do some more scaller scale crossovers. Felicity has popped up on the Flash a few times now—there’s really no reason they couldn’t do something similar with Supergirl. Have Caitlin pop over to consult with Alex on some biology problem, or let Kara and Iris bond over being reporters.

Honestly I’m pretty done with Olicity drama in general. It has very occasionally been done well, but when it’s not both parties just come off as obnoxious. They’re got enough external drama going on--just let them be happy together.

They didn’t make it super clear but it kinda sounded like he was trying to give himself the Flash’s powers and just royally fucked up.

I agree, but at the same time they kinda tried comedy with Ralph last season and it...did not go well.

I actually enjoyed this episode way more than the first, but I’m also a simple person who gets way too much fun out of things like the suggestion that John Diggle is actually John Stewart on Earth-90 or Marc Guggenheim is a resident of Arkham Asylum. You could seriously make an article just counting up the Easter eggs…

Yeah, that final bit with Iris was probably the weakest part of the episode. It just felt like manufactured character drama for the sake of having character drama. I think it’s admirable that they try to make these crossovers more meaningful than just all of our favorites hanging out and punching bad guys together,…

The simpler but more boring explanation is that in the original timeline (where Barry’s mom was presumably still alive for her granddaughter’s birth), her name was Dawn, but Eobard’s actions caused Barry to want to name his daughter after his deceased mother instead.

If this all ends with the team marching on hell to save Dez’s soul I’m gonna officially declare this show the Secret Six adaptation I always wanted.

They slipped a tiny OG Charmed reference in there—the demon’s lair was on level P3, which was the name of Piper’s club in the old show.

Manchester referring to himself as the intolerant left? Eh. Manchester referring to himself as the intolerant left while doing a sarcastic little half-bow and cape badass longcoat twirl? Excellent.

“In retrospect, it makes sense that more than one person would have run the Collinwood 5k.”

They was a really good line in an episode chock full of really good lines.
