Looks like a copy of spanish's Ministerio del Tiempo. In fact, its showrunner has taken it to the courts.

"Looks like a copy of spanish's Ministerio del Tiempo"
It clearly is based on the same idea.
... so? So is literally every show.
FYI, the concept for Ministerio del Tiempo is not original either. The story is taken — something which the Spanish admitted to themselves — from yet another show.
What IS sad is that the spanish network responsible for MtD is acting like SONY stole it from them when they themselves have been doing the very same thing with their shows. It's even more saddening — and disturbing — that people act like hunting dogs. They too are victims of somebody's mischievous agenda. It's clear as the sky on a sunny day that Ministerio del Tiempo is not an original; I wish SONY good luck in court.
Yes, there are rumors SONY was in fact working on an adaption together with the guys from MdT and that they didn't reach an agreement, but even if that was true... going to court looks like a bad PR stunt. I'm not saying SONY did right but I hope it backfires on the Spanish... because they deserve it, because taking it to court is ironic coming from somebody who's done the same thing.
That being sad, the show is really good. Try it! ^ .^
Hmmm, they're starting to drag their feet. We used to have action, this episode was a total bore

@ramadri This is a science fiction series (Co-Genres: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Thriller, Suspense), maybe you should watch an action series instead. This is not "Transformers" (Pseudo-Science-Fiction).

@ramadri I second @jamatiknakmuay… if you're expecting constant action, you're watching the wrong genre.
Um......this show did get renewed didn't it? I mean, we just saw Bruce Wayne become Batman, they've killed off everyone interesting.... I mean seriously, how are they gonna keep going?!
loading replies
@firestorrm58 They did renew it and it is Gotham, my guess is those who got killed will somehow still be alive. Butch for sure, he was already being taken care of and Barbara too I guess. Ed is still alive, just frozen and Tetch is already back in Arkham as mentioned by Harvey.
And I think I missed something, since when is Wally competent enough to be the Flash? Then again, I realize that Barry wasn't too much competent and it stays the same. So next year Barry has to come back. I guess he'll be out for a couple of episodes while Wally takes on the mantel and his red suit. Now the show's gonna be called "Kid Flash", right? That is, until someone frees Barry. But he going into the Speedforce could potentially create another Savitar. Like I said, messed up.
And when Barry is saying his farewell, I'm sorry but I found it hilarious that they take their time to say goodbye when there are people on the background yelling and dying while the city is being destroyed.
The same when Savitar was about to use the quantum splicer and literally said "We have to hurry" he walks slowly. And immediately before the philosopher's stone exploded and Barry told Wally to get everybody out and he leaves his sister behind. I just found it hilarious. And did Cisco literally call Savitar "Two-face"? No wonders he's angry, sad and needs a hug.
I liked the fact that Caitlin kept her powers. I don't want them gone. I like Killer Frost but I wanted good old Caitlin back so I'm settled for Chilling Frost. Btw, I'm waiting for memes of Caitlin saying "I'm something else".

@thogek "My name is Caitlyn Snow. After five episodes trying to murder my old friends I returned to my old self with only one goal: redeem myself. But to honor my past memory I can't be the friendly killer I once was. I need to become someone else, something else. I need to become Chilling Frost"
Boring, dull, nonsense show. I'm not a person who give up on a show and so in worst scenario I try to finish the season so after the first f***ing season I gave up. Netflix attracts people with sexual scenes. I wonder How boring a show could be! Worst ever! This is not a show, this is felony.
loading replies
@asdoost felony???? I get that everyone have their own taste and it's normal not everyone likes the same things. But I don't know, you have to admit the plot it's pretty complex, even if you don't like it.
Also, what? "Netflix attracts people with sexual scenes"??? Idk man, you say it like it's the main plot point and the only and ever show/movie with a sex scene on it. When I think about Sense8 I don't think "Sex!", I think "Wow, how a person can have 7 other people linked with their mind? How that even work?"
And again, "felony"???????
And fucking Evelyn bitch! Please, just die. Someone please snap her next once and for all. Someone has to kill her in ways that'll hurt. I can't stand that fucking traitor. just die already. I knew she was still working with Prometheus. I didn't feel sorry when she "died", in fact, I knew he didn't kill her. Had Adrian killed her, he will have always had a place in my heart (not that he already has it).
I loved Stephen Amell's performance. He's always great, but he screaming his heart out while being tortured makes you feel it's real. Stephen gave the best performance I've ever seen tonight. Amazing performance as well from Josh Segarra. Phenomenal acting by both. I'm definitely gonna miss Josh Segarra after this season. The two of them had some of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen. "Because I wanted to! And I liked it" chills in my spine that delivery gave me goosebumps.
I fucking love Anatoly. He's definitely my favourite Russian "Anatoly Knyazev, gangster"
I couldn't help but think how different Season 1 would've been if Anatoly had said Malcolm Merlyn instead of "American businessman". The same if Malcolm had known it was Ollie who. I think Malcolm's only point is to revive people. Plus, John Barrowman 3 out of 4 episodes this week, yass.
Not sure how it'll all evolve next episodes, but after seeing next week's promo, everything's going down. Adrian's grin, though. Tonight's episode was brutal and Adrian Chase = straight psychotic savage. He's the real spawn of Satan. Even Slade had limits but this guy, he's straight savage. I'm certainly enjoying him, though. And Josh Segarra's portrayal has me embellished. Anyways, let's see how Ollie recovers from this and how he faces Adrian "I don't give a fuck" Chase.
This episode is the proof that Arrow can go from 0 to 100 real quick. When he wanted Ollie to confess for a Dec there I thought he wanted him to say "I have failed this city". He's hardcore af going all Jigsaw. He's fucking scary and I like it.loading replies
@narendran0065 Yeah right? I mean she sides with a psychotic guy who hasnt even hesitated in killing his own fucking wife, for God's sake. She needs to die. A slow and painful dead. But something tells me this isnts going to happen. Her thought processing is broken. I don't get why so much hatred to Oliver and she's completely okay with a guy who has killed innocent people just to get Ollie to play his game. Someone please kill her. To me it was too obvious she was playing Oliver. Someone please snap her neck once and for all. For God's sake, Artemisia needs to die.

@vero-winchester Right? RIGHT? I am so fucking mad Adrian faked that. SHE. NEEDS. TO. DIE. ASAP. Snap her neck, arrow in her heart. I don't care.
Doesn't want side with Oliver because he kills the bad guys but is TOTALLY OKAY siding with someone who killed his wife and dozens of other innocents. wtf?
I think I will skip this one. A musical filler episode? No, thanks.

@thogek couldn't agree more! Still watchable though. I do like the dynamic and chemistry of the team this time around much better, although Abby was a badass.
Review by Lee Brown Barrow Movie Buff
VIP3This is the Unforgiven of superhero movies, a brutal yet tender portrayal of former heroes growing old. Logan is tired and world weary, waiting for death to take away his pain. Charles is 90, riddled with drugs to mute his mind, his "super weapon." Despite their friendship their relationship is fractured. Into their lives comes a new mutant and a road trip begins.
I don't want to say much more, having given away a little of the premise already explored in the films trailers. This is a tough, violent and sad film with few moments of humour. There is action but not of the blockbuster kind, one key car chase is like something from a 70's thriller.
This is the swan song of Logan and Charles, both actors giving it their all in their final performances as these characters. To bring them back after this film would undermine their work and the story here.
The film is brilliant and I can't recommend it enough - don't expect a traditional X-Men movie and you will be blown away. If the film itself were a mutant I would say its genes had been spliced with Mad Max and Shane, with a little bit of Children of the Corn (and I mean that in a good way). Excelsior!

@faithful I believe it's heavily assumed that X-24 is Daken. But yes, this story was brutal, didn't slow down on the punches, was emotional, and shows a world still divided on mutants after all these centuries. Logan mentioned there not being any mutants in 25 years -- 2004, which is around when M-Day happened in the comics. For any comic fans: yes, Laura exists in present time, and is fully-grown (as she is Wolverine in the comics), so treat this as an alternate universe storyline. It was absolutely phenomenal, and I hope to see more dystopic future movies for other anti-heroes.
That was fucking absurd. I loved it. Incredible episode. Damn I love this show and this episode was really funny. I'm still laughing so I have no idea what might come out. But may the Plotforce be with you. I loved the cast today. Everyone did a great job. And I got so hyped when I listened to those angry helicopter noises. Thawne certainly looks extra menacing in that lightning. Amaya, Ray and Nate's speech was superb: STAY IN SCHOOL! And that menacing pointed finger was quite convincing. I laughed louder that I should. George Lucas a the plot was just fantastic and the trash compactor scene was just so over the top. Where have I seen that before? lol And I'm glad Rip is back (thought I'd never say that outloud). He shouting at Vandal Savage because he wasn't threatening enough was hilarious. And I almost died of laughing when he didn't know how to use a gun. I actually though he was gonna hurt himself or one of the legends. And when he got arrested, that high pitched scream. I'll never recover. And Nate being a yoga instructor, yeah man, that sucks. And when Jax said he went to Sunday school, I pictured him singing Gospel. And Snart us definitely real. I refuse to believe he's dead.
The entire cast was amazing. I guess now it's RIP to Rip and Welcome Phil. Stein was on point: "I'm doing brain surgery, what's it look like?" And Sara and Jax accepting it like, OK, we don't have time, for your shit. And Merlyn's expression when he punched Nate, lol. I was a bit off when Dahrk and Merlyn were continuously missing shots like they were stupid or something. Then I realized they were Stormtroopers, lol. And the elevator scene. Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing. The music was just so damn perfect.
"Hi, my name is Phil. I'm a full time film student and a part time recreational drug user", oh man that was just brilliant. I loved how Nate kept on calling Lucas by his full name. I just loved everything on this crazy episode.

Review by Aniela Krajewska
VIP8Am I crying? Yes. Yes, I am. Damn it, Flash. You did it again. You managed to turn me into a sobbing mess.
First of all, what was Mark fucking Hamill doing there? I've never seen him in anything other than Star Wars, so my first thought was a horrified "L-Luke?". Amazing. It takes some serious balls to cast such an iconic actor and then have him appear in just one scene. I applaud the showrunners.
Yay, Wally got his suit. Maybe he will finally stop whining.
I can't decide if I like Julian or not. Sure, he's not a bad guy, but he can still be an asshole when he wants to be.
"One shall betray you. One shall fall. One will suffer fate far worse than death."
Fuck off, Savitar. Nobody messes with Team Flash. And stay away from Iris. We've already lost Laurel, I won't let another plant-named love interest/moral compass/badass die on my watch.
So, Caitlin can control her powers now? It would be so cool (no pun intended) if she could use them without fear of turning into Killer Frost.
Drunk H.R. is hilarious. And his little happy dance with Wally in the park was absolutely adorable.
The Flash sure knows how to do a Christmas episode. I don't get nearly as excited about Christmas as I used to, but even my cold, dead heart warmed up a little when I saw all those decorations and all the characters together and happy for once. I was afraid something would happen and the episode would end on a cliffhanger, but no. Instead we got Barry and Iris being cute and in love. Someone punch me in the face, I can't handle the feels.
So, I guess this is the mid-season finale? In that case, see you all in 2017! And early Merry Christmas wishes to all of you!

Actually Mark Hamill has already appeared in 3 Flash Episodes:
- The Present (2016) ... James Jesse / The Trickster
- Running to Stand Still (2015) ... James Jesse / The Trickster
- Tricksters (2015) ... James Jesse / The Trickster
Whilst not having read the source novels, Divergent desire to be the next "Hunger Games" style franchise is evident in its dystopian setting, purportedly strong intelligent female characters ( they're not ! ) and sequel baiting in its resolution. What is disappointing is the lack of any originality to distinguish itself from other similar ideas - it's faction based society heavily influenced by films like Gattaca and others of that ilk. The film also spends an inordinate amount of time with one faction, and probably the least interesting one at that, devoting the bulk of its plot to the heroine being trained, and of course, falling for one of her trainers. You would think that the focus would be on the so-called Divergent group, given the title and the vague ominous warnings from several characters about their threat. Perhaps the sequels will develop this better, but here it is simply a plot device to touch base with typical themes of individuality, free will and teen angst over being pigeonholed, as well as provide a motivation for the villain's plot. That it rarely explores these within any great depth is the film's main problem, preferring to focus on the developing romance between the two leads. There are no surprises in the story, but the central leads do their best with the thin material and it is watchable enough.

In the book Tris is the narrator and the story is told from her perspective. That's why the movie spends so much time with one faction and her being trained.
Cool thing with answer on "His name is..." in the final scene. And sadly, not fully happy end for Burton.

@thogek maybe. One thing I know for sure that Tess's mom was right. He was in love with the idea of her.
Doesn't this happen at the same time as other CW shows like Arrow and The Flash? How's Laurel alive and how is Raymond in Star City, with his suit?
loading replies
@grumm I think it's a bit behind. I was confused too, so I looked it up. The first season was written when Arrow season 3 was written, so it kind of fits in around that time.
