It was great seeing Larry forgive himself at long last.
"People usually ask what made my wife leave."
What didn't make your wife leave.
Loved the Solomon Grundy comment.
For those who don't know, The Dead Boy Detectives is a spin-off comic from The Sandman comic series and "The Death" they talk about is the same Death that is the sister of Dream. Whether this means the three TV shows will all be connected is anyone's guess (The Dead Boy Detectives is being produced by Netflix as well) but the universes are connected.
I love that they gave Crystal the surname Palace and the fact that it probably went over the head of most viewers.
They get so many points for using the Mike and the Mechanics song!
Brilliant episode, made even better by the fact that it made all the little bigots squirm.
Amazing to see Danny Street on screen and seriously, bigots, go read the comics.
This one had a very predictable storyline.
The antiques roadshow comment from the extremely posh English inspector was so cringeworthy to watch as a British viewer.
And apparently we're just telling everyone that Barry's The Flash now?
Oh no, we had an episode without the male lead hero having a large role... whatever will we do?!
We go with the flow because The Flash is based on a comic book that is all about family and has one of the largest ensemble casts of characters in the DC Universe, and that's a Flash Family Fact ;)
Iris is just as important as Barry in The Flash universe, and goes off on her own adventures in the comics, just like another infamous female journalist partner.
Good to see Joe back again, more please?
Go aunt Vi! Lorraine Toussaint was on fire in this episode.
Where he finds the little girl's body makes no sense. The flashback scenes show that the police used canine units and if she had been buried there the whole time the dogs should easily have smelled her body. Very poor writing.
Now that was an entrance!
This was a great episode which showed off Rex's skills very well, but it has one glaringly obvious mistake that I can't ignore; in no situation would a rookie on their first day be put in that situation. A disappointing mistake from a show that is usually really good.
Great Christmas special, but the representation of Paganism is absolutely terrible.
Love having Lisseth Chavez on my screen again. Celina is different, but since when did this show ever do anything "normal"?
So glad to see Ashley gone. As awful as that breakup scene was, many disabled people have gone through similar situations where their partners have dumped them when they're in hospital and starting recovery because they couldn't handle it. Good to see The Rookie writers showing that.
Um.... maybe it's just me, but last time I checked but stepping in something and then walking it through the rest of the scene was a no-no? /facepalm
If the phone was just going to be sitting there on the counter, why did they even need a staff member to grab it for them? The whole waitress thing was unnecessarily complicated and badly written.
Good to see Omar finally stand up for his own beliefs. For a moment there I wondered if he'd throw Tiff under a bus.
Good to see them showing the effect of what happened at the end of last season on Tali and Sarah, how they're not handling the trauma they went through and the way that Jess is not recognising it. It's one thing to deal with other people's issues as an agent, another thing when it happens in your own home.
Barba has been losing his moral compass for some time, ever since he left the DA's office. Him representing Wheatley and the way he rationalised it as helping Olivia because she had risked her career by letting Stabler be on the case made complete sense to me. He's always seen himself as a white knight, and he has a saviour complex.
The moment when he realised he got completely played by Carisi, someone he considered less experienced, and Stabler, someone he considered out of control, was absolutely beautiful.
Loved the little meta comment at the end about learning all the doctor stuff on TV from Noah Wyle as Harry.
Good episode, but the terrible makeup (foundation and concealer were the wrong shades for all of them) for the female actors, especially Aleyse Shannon, was extremely off-putting. She looked yellow throughout the whole episode.
Oh noes, a show mentioned Black Lives Matter a few brief times again, so we must claim this is a "woke" episode again.
So here's what the episode was actually about; as the summary explains; "Mac and Desi travel with Bozer to his childhood home when his aunt dies in a tragic accident, however, they soon discover she may have been murdered for trying to expose the city’s contaminated water supply".
Funnily enough, that is what the episode is about! It's all about an investigation into a contaminated water supply.
I feel that someone needs to make the point that there were just a few brief comments made at the beginning of the episode, when Matty was giving the mission to the team, about Black Lives Matter and the Megan and Harry. That was the only mention of either topic. The episode, the plot and even the couple getting married did not have any relation to either topics. While the groom was a white British man, the bride is not Black nor is she American. The plot is much more complex, and to claim that this episode is just about "being woke" says more about the person watching it than the episode itself.
I have no idea why so many people trashed the dialogue of this film because some of it was fantastic and so on point with the comics. The banter between Green Lantern and Batman was absolutely brilliant. The only dialogue which was really off was Diana's; I think they were trying to make her sound out of sync having not been in man's world for that long but it just ended up making her sound really awkward and high and mighty.
How many Christmas stories/cliches can you fit in one episode? :grin:
"Every woman has a version of the same story."
Sad, but true. A very poignant conversation between Erin and Nicky at the end and it was nice to see a parent trusting their child to handle the situation themselves but still being there to support them.
