I love love love that they've done casting like Lucy Lawless and Dichen Lachman to trick the audience.

A close maternal relationship is a well-known gay male stereotype and the frat boys were placed in the story by a writer, not the result of a "reality" of the show. His mother despises the idea of him being with a woman and there's a reference to Jim when he says he's not with a woman. He also gives that one fella a…

He spots her, grabs her and she goes straight for the eyes because she weighs less than a paper plane and any other approach would fail utterly. Pretty clear to me.

Crizzappie specifically suggested that the show was critiquing the idea of Batman. Like. Right there. Which you can and probably do disagree with but it's there.

Maybe it's not a geek-wide debate but: The Angels Take Manhattan makes no fucking sense and I get into hours-long arguments with my friend about this.

He's an aesthete, incredibly close to his mother (to the point of bathing in front of her), kidnapped an attractive frat boy and has a deep obsession with Jim Gordon.

Won't somebody think of the children…'s kidnappers?!

The procedural element was anything but "sloppy and inconsequential." It's added some dimension to how the GCPD actually works as a functional but corrupt force. It's tied together by a tenuous balance of actual justice, solidarity and selfishness that Jim threatens by going lone wolf. There's rather fundamentally sad…

Perhaps it's your dislike of the show that prevents you from reading any more deeply than catfight=masturbation fantasy rather than a failure on the part of the writers/directors. The way it's filmed is not designed to titillate. In fact, the majority of the shot focuses on Fish's intrigued expression. It's…

So you're saying that, in order to be a better character, Fish needs to get naked and shut up? Yikes.

Then why is it the example you use to criticise the show? : /

Albert and Twisty!

The Flash is painfully mechanistic in the way it approaches character and plot and has very little to say about anything. Gotham is doing an admirable job of examining the full gamut of tones present in Batman stories. There aren't an awful lot of deep character studies but we've got enough of an understanding of…

Haven't animated versions of comic characters coexisted with live action versions all the time? It's not a big stretch for this to happen between film/tv. They also had Arrow out almost immediately after Smallville with Hartley's Green Arrow ended. This isn't without precedent. The film is four years out from now (and…

Would you like to rephrase your… everything?

Yes, the pills are in jellybean form.

Not actually in America, so I'm cheating a little :P.

Viva le revolution!

My favourite thing was being the only Asian in an Australian History tute about anti-Chinese riots during the Gold Rush.
