I'd say it was less cliffhanger, and more fan service

I agree with all of this.

There was giant ice stabbing through his dad. And he had promised to not kill, so maybe this was a "Fine, I broke my word and you saved my sister, so I'll put up with Iron Heights"

Filler? You and I seem to have opposite definitions of filler. This moved the plot forward, developed Cold and Golden Glider as people, and set up so many things I can't even begin to list them all.

While the lie might come to light, it seems unlikely to me that Iris would do any investigating.

I may be reading into things that weren't there, but I felt like she was going to say something, then saw how distraught Joe was about the whole thing.

Haha, yeah.

Flash can learn how to do stuff really quickly as well.

Except she has the same name as a major character from the comics. And they just did the "Speedy got stabbed" thing last season.

They DID say that Flash was making repairs at night

Ah, I must have missed that line. That makes more sense.

The website I use to stream shows was infected my malware, but it finally cleared up, and I watched Blink. Definitely enjoyable.

Sure thing. My internet connection's been a bit spotty lately, but I'll let you know after I get a chance to stream it

Yeah, I did enjoy them dropping him in cement, and the rescue. I often found myself wondering about the parameters of it, and such.

I did enjoy Children of Earth, although I kind of had mixed feelings about it.

So, I finally got Torchwood: Children of Earth from the library, and have watched a couple episodes you recommended of Dr Who. They were definitely better than what I'd seen so far, although there were some moments that made me cringe a little bit. I'll watch a bit more, and see how it goes

1. Agent Tripp dying was rather underwhelming. He'd barely done anything, so it was hard to care much.

AoS was highly erratic this season.

It probably had something to do with fact that he had just seconds to act, and signing up for surgery usually takes longer than that…
