  1. After Izzy told Alec that their parents' plan was to marry him off, he had the "screw all of this" reaction and that's when/why he went to save Luke. You might have been distracted by his biceps in that scene though, I know I was. ;) I don't know if I can say this was my favorite episode so far, because I don't care about any of flashbacks (although I'm still laughing at Clary asking Luke if she's her father LOL) but I loooved all the stuff with Izzy and Alec. It'll be interesting to see the role reversal going on with them, with Alec being the one who's ~rebelling now and Izzy doing the opposite. Also I watched that Alec/Magnus scene a ridiculous amount of times and they continue to be by far my favorite part of the show.
  2. It's kind of amazing how good her hair looks. considering I doubt Sara'd let anyone get close enough to brush it haha. I'm reasonably satisfied by what they did with Nyssa in this episode to make it plausible that she won't be around for Legends of Tomorrow. It makes sense and I'm very glad she's not dead, and the fact that she obviously still loves Sara keeps it open for them to get back together in the future.

    Iris West

    Yes, we did, in 2x01! And it was one of my favorite scenes LOL. Joe + Cisco + Iris is possibly the best combination of any characters on this show tbh. Cisco and Iris definitely need to have more scenes together. Hopefully that will happen this season. I loved seeing that Iris was there in that first Jitters scene in this episode because it really shows how she is part of the team now.
  4. I read this interview with Katrina Law (which is great BTW - I love the bits about how she was cast) and she says that she's gonna be "in and out of Arrow throughout this season" but can't say whether or not she's gonna show up in LOT yet. Although it is suspicious that Katrina hasn't filmed since 4x03, I really don't believe that the writers would kill Nyssa. It seems like that would be TOO much baggage for Sara to bring with her to LOT, and how would Sara ever be okay with Laurel resurrecting her if Nyssa died as a result?
  5. I've never actually watched the show (just one episode of the new series...which I immediately regretted) but am listening to the podcast anyway, so I'm really liking hearing the clips! They can be cringeworthy at times (thinking of the Brandon basketball team episode) but they definitely help me follow along more than just descriptions of the scenes do. And yeah, hearing the reactions to them is probably my favorite part of the podcast LOL.
  6. People were trolling IMDB last night, changing lots of names/adding people, so I'd definitely take those cast listings with a grain of salt.
  7. IKR?! I'm not sure if it's just that Caity has been working out more (like she said she's been doing in that interview) or what but I never noticed how great her arms are until today:
  8. I know the common theory was that Nyssa would be the one to do it, but that doesn't SEEM to be the case? It's hard to say based on the trailer when the resurrection actually happened. Anyway, I'm really excited to see everyone's reactions to her being alive! I'd hope Oliver wouldn't keep it a secret... Also, I'm really hoping we get to see Nyssa on the spinoff too. She deserves better than staying in the League of Assassins with Malcolm as the head, even though Sara is actually alive.
  9. No, he didn't know. They told him an episode or two before Ward's Hydra loyalties were revealed last season.

    Iris West

    Yeah I hope its sooner than that, but they are giving her a purpose in the show. (And more of one than Laurel has, lbr.) From this article: I'm not sure if they're totally abandoning the whole grad school thing, but it seems like they are leading up to Iris becoming a journalist. And for that reason, I'm thinking she won't find out about Barry until near the end of the season, because given the fact that she's gonna be reporting (in one way or another) on The Flash, they need to keep that dramatic tension up.

    Iris West

    I'm really hoping Iris finds out sooner rather than later, by the end of season 1 at the LATEST. I already love Iris though! Shallowly, she's super gorgeous and Candice and Grant have fantastic chemistry. Smallville!Lois Lane is my favorite character of all time, so personally I'm thrilled The Flash is giving Iris a storyline similar to Lois's s8 Red-Blue Blur storyline.
  12. Wait so what does Sara's death do to that whole weird spoiler thing about Laurel's ~question of the season wondering if she can be her sister or w/e? (I can't remember the exact wording.) I guess that makes more sense now?...
  13. In an effort to avoid linking to TVTropes (though if you want to check that out, it's the Stuffed into the Fridge trope), here is a bit of an explanation from a great article I read today: On Arrow, the most blatant example is Shado, who was killed to give Slade a motivation to go evil and give Oliver man-pain, but this can also apply to Moira and Sara. Since Sara was presumably killed on Laurel's behalf, this may not be the technical definition of fridging, but it definitely applies. I still can't believe how blatant the writers are being in this way with Sara, straight up admitting that she was killed for plot purposes to drive the first half of the season and further Laurel's presumable journey to become Black Canary.
  14. I used to get so annoyed last season with all the constant worrying about whether Sara was gonna die or not, because I was honestly 100% convinced that the writers would not go there. Now, along with being heartbroken and infuriated, I also feel like a complete idiot for ever having faith in them. Shado's fridging was the beginning of the end for me, and I've basically already stopped watching. (The last episode I saw was "Birds of Prey" and the Sara parts of the finale.) Still, I was planning on catching the episodes this season with Caity and I was really looking forward to seeing Sara's presumable character arc this season, especially the Sara/Nyssa flashbacks, which I've wanted since 2x13! And sure, we're still getting them apparently, but literally why? Since they've all but admitted that Sara is nothing more than a plot device, even with R'as al Ghul coming on, I can't see what relevance the development of her early relationship with Nyssa has anymore so what's the point of showing it . I totally buy the theory that the writers decided to let go of Oliver/Laurel in favor of Olicity while still allowing Laurel to become Black Canary, and it fucking sucks because while both sides at least get something out of this compromise, as someone who can't stand Olicity (or Oliver/Laurel, don't get me wrong - I basically don't want Oliver with anyone tbh), not only do I get something I hate, my favorite character was fridged on Laurel's behalf. It's just SO LAZY. Other than Isabel, are there any female characters that have died on this show who WEREN'T fridged? Even if there were, three in the past 9 or so months is just disgusting. Also now there's five male regulars (almost six tbh, considering how many episodes Brandon Routh is gonna be in) and three female regulars. The balance was bad enough before Moira died and now it's even worse.
  15. Yeah, the stories were different enough that it wasn't like you were just watching the exact same thing two times. (Though I'm a fan of this style anyway.) Like, in Allison's story she's the one who saved Noah's daughter from choking and in his version he was the one; in his version she was wearing a dress in that nighttime scene, in hers she was wearing a tank top and shorts, and there were lots of other differences. I hadn't read any spoilers, so I didn't go into the pilot knowing that they were playing the unreliable narrator card at first, although I realized it pretty quickly once we got into the second half of the episode. I preferred that section, as Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson are my main draw in wanting to watch this show in the first place and so far I'm finding Noah a pretty unlikable character. Well, maybe not unlikable, but I can't find much of a reason to "root" for him so to speak. (I somewhat sympathize with him when it comes to his kids though. As someone with six siblings, that diner scene kind of made uncomfortable in a familiar way because that kind of like madness and the kids being so loud is totally something I recognize as real life.)
