All birds have a cloaca, but some combine solids and liquids into a single fecal stream. So when you get pooped on by a pigeon, for example, you’re getting both urine and feces. Dinosaurs could have done the same thing. But ostriches and crocodylians actually expel liquid first, and then feces - they pee and then…

My thought was that the cliche is the characters, not the writing. In what we consider 'good writing' everyone always says the exact correct thing. That's a cliche because people use it in that manner.

Actually, I live in an upscale suburb, and talk to my mailpersons quite a bit, especially when I'm walking the block mid day and happen to come across them, or they bring a package to the porch.

How is Rebecca a plot device?

We don't see everything that happens, and that was judged to be cutting room floor material. And, in my opinion, once someone tells you about something like that, you leave it at what was said, unless they invite you in.

There might be few of them, but they are the only competent characters. The male characters are all played as comic relief, incompetent, or both.

Shooting in the leg is a tv/movie contrivance. Especially with a flintlock pistol. And Sara had just recovered from very close to death. She even looked wiped when she was talking to Jax.

> Yes, people should cherish their personal connections, but if it comes down to saving a teammate and saving the timestream, the Legends should be prepared to sacrifice one of their friends.

He's talked about the angriest boy and the yellow eyed demon to psychiatrists before. And that just gets him more meds. So he's been conditioned not to talk about them.

No? I think self-friend *needs* decaf.

Romances on the CW have a problem when they're front and center. Diggle and Lyla for example… that's a relationship that they don't have to constantly write, and it's a good one.

I don't think it will be that simple. Something will happen with Toby while she's up there, and she will give in to the creepy guy on the rebound.

We don't know that. The girl at the pool spelled her name 'Sofie'. His ex-wife's contact on the phone was 'Sophie'

Flashpoint. We don't know what changed as far as the heart attacks, though the alcoholic angle is a good point.

I was going to make my own post- but decided to reply to you. As much as the reviewer thought it was cheap, it was the most affecting thing I've seen on TV, and especially on the show. I know that it affected me more than the writing or the acting should even engender, but, the fact remains, that it did. And I…

The main problem with Superman Returns was that the plot sucked and was lackluster. There was nothing anyone could have done with that dumper of a script to bring it up to par.

The Roy-Felicity angle is explained by the web series. Not well, but explained.

He's one of the best parts of the show in general, IMO.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that point. Like I said, I'm not hate watching it like a lot of people- but it is slanting more bad than good.

Gotham and Daredevil both have noir elements in a superhero world. Both have a rather focused storyline along the criminal element, with a very corrupt police force. Both have a very strong characterization of the city- to the point that it's not just a location.
