Well, that and at the fact that The Flash is literally a spinoff of Arrow

Cut-throat Bitch

Well, several Batman stories, such as the animated movie and Batman Begins, have toyed with the idea of a love interest for Bruce Wayne pulling him away from the pain of his parents' death and his need for justice. Mask of the Phantasm really focused on that idea particularly, in that when he's faced with the choice…

Yeah, the time travel logic here makes no sense. (Not that it makes much sense in most time travel fiction, but at least most time travel stories try to stick to some sort of consistent set of rules to govern how history can or cannot change.)

Apparently Mallory Jenson maintains her American Aida accent all day on set, even when not filming, as a way for her to stay close to the character. So her playing Agnes without an accent wasn't her choice to differentiate the character. The writers specifically wrote Agnes as Australian to force her to use her native…

Flesh-Aida's newfound emotions were handled pretty well I thought. The fact that pure unadulterated jealousy is what set her off, since she has no idea how to process the feelings that are no doubt overwhelming her, was a nice touch.

"I’m a little concerned that the destruction of Ivanov’s underwater base
means no one else from the Framework will be using the machine to create
a human body for themselves. Fitz is the one who built it; surely he
can make another one? It’s the perfect way to bring over good-guy Ward,
people. Now that Fitz has some…

Well, Caine Mutiny probably had a big influence on the episode too. It's apparently one of Vince Gilligan's favorite movies.

Well, strictly speaking, it's that he's not physically ill, which does indicate a mental condition.

Maybe. Before the breakdown I was getting some A Few Good Men vibes, particularly with the late arrival meant to unnerve the person testifying, who then calms down and calls out the lawyer for attempting the trick, before the lawyer swerves into what causes the breakdown. Chuck clearly equals Col. Jessup in that…

Just in this episode, her passive-aggressive "corporations are people" slam and her bragging about her abortion don't exactly seem like GOP-friendly remarks. Plus other episodes seem written from a pro-Dem perspective. Like when Jonah won the Congressional race because the NRA went negative on his opponent, Selina…

It's just a trend as shows, especially comedies, start to have long runs that the writers tend to stick with the traits that have worked best for the characters to the point of basically defining them by those traits, leading to a potential tendency of writing for the traits and not the characters. "Friends" is a good…

"Question: What's better than one recipe for octopus?

As far as the timeline goes, we're talking about a patent related to re-inventing the Internet. To me that implies enough significant history of users interacting with the Internet enough for Peter Gregory to come to the conclusion it needed a re-invention, with the major stumbling block being compression. So, would…

I think Monica's concern is that Raviga already assigned the money to the Seefood app, so maybe she's afraid saying the app is worthless will cause Laurie to blame her for losing the money. Plus, Ed can just as easily tell Laurie that he heard about the tip from Monica, and Monica knows this, so she has to make the…

I liked the bit where Tracy compared herself with Sarah Connor, and Cisco said she was more like Miles Dyson, and it was a cute little Terminator reference and all that and they had to make it because who in the audience wasn't thinking that Savitar was doing the plot from Terminator at that point.

So … Cisco decides to knock out Caitlyn and then draw her blood right there?

Good thing Barry in the future last episode grabbed that hologram with the bio of the woman who would eventually build the speed trap device, and not the ACTUAL DEVICE CISCO HAD THAT DAMPENED THE SPEED FORCE. That probably would have been more immediately useful.

Isn't it a bit odd that a virtual world would need a virtual machine to scan a virtual body in order to create a real body in the real world? I would think it would be something more akin to stepping through a portal, or pressing a terminal and digitizing. Something Tron-like.

So, the whole thing with Mack choosing to stay in the fake but "happier" world kind of cements the parallels with this Framework arc and the Arrow 100th episode with the alien simulation giving the characters ideal lives. In that episode, it was Thea who wanted to stay in happy-town, only to change her mind 2 seconds…
