That was basically the plot from last episode too.

They mentioned he cleaned up by pouring bleach into her mouth after she died, but they found his blood in her throat.

After we get more acquainted with the other "seedy-but-helpful" character Puck later in season 2, I appreciate Bug SO much more in hindsight.

I like his 1-liners but his general chirpiness feels weird considering his personal life is in tatters, plus the fact that everyone else on Team Arrow this season tends to brood.

I bet she & Cricket had some Serious Secular Intercourse

I was getting Ann Veal vibes, and also there was that very-on-the-nose-in-retrospect Lady and the Tramp spaghetti reference.

It took me way too long to realize this article was from last year.

The real winner is that the MotW wasn't defeated by "Run faster Barry!" but instead was defeated by "Run faster Wally!"

Oh jeez, I'm rewatching both series, this time in the original air order, and the endings of "The Trial" and "Into the Woods" are ten times more gut wrenching watched back to back.

Prometheus' reaction speed to that bomb arrow shot to his BACK was pretty crazy.

Yay! I'm very happy Elementary is still being covered.

In case anyone else is curious, Avclub dropped coverage of Transparent. See here: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

Here's your caption, boys: "Local Hero
Shuns Spotlight and Pitches In."

No idea but I found it very confusing. It would have been nice to have episode coverage too.

Maybe it was a magic broadsword

Not to disagree with your initial point, but Glee also started out as a show trying not to "burst into song". http://www.nytimes.com/2009…
