Yep, and Javi, who wrote the episode, has been bearing the brunt.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Ah well. Thankfully I took one look at the casting of Isaiah Washington before the series debuted and knew to avoid it like weaponized anthrax.

Belated "Legends of Tomorrow" comment: the wrong Time Agent resigned. I'll bet the "thinks outside the box" agent could have used Hawk Girl's memories to find out where Savage would be *before* he became immortal. Go in with the full team for overkill. An obscure priest who nobody ever heard of is killed. No Vandal Savage not only in Rip's time but no Vandal Savage mucking with history in all the preceding ages.
Also no Hawk Man or Hawk Girl. Given what most religions that believe in reincarnation say about it, no Hawk Couple would probably be better for them. That is reincarnation that consists of living the same lives over and over again, where your new life is always overwritten at some time by a life from thousands of years ago is spiritually and mystically unhealthy. Whatshername might have had something new to learn spiritually as a barista, that she won't be given time to learn now that she is back to the Hawk Girl role. Similarly I'm going to guess that she was not given time to learn everything her life as a Rosie the Riveter would have taught her.
Also Rip might never have been born. That would suck for him, but would be a great relief to the audience.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Man, Vandal Savage is getting less and less interesting, and I just don't like the actor at all.

The actor is the spitting image of a friend of mine who used to run Vampire games I played in, so I have just a little trouble taking him seriously as a ruthless master villain.

I got sucked into LOT again because I thought we'd find out exactly what happened to Rory. I think that we will see him again.
I wasn't thrilled with their manipulation of the prejudices of the time to suit their needs.

So, this week's The 100: didn't even show Lexa's death in the previews! (Although given the heat the show has gotten for that, perhaps that was judicious.)
I spent a fair amount of time yelling at Kane: he wasted all that effort, burned all those contacts, and failed in the end because he didn't want to hurt Bellamy? WTF, dude. Also, I don't get why he never made it clear to Pike how completely outnumbered they are. They can never beat "the Grounders" by force of arms. There are always more Grounders, all over the continent, and Skaikru has, what, 1200 people? If that? Madness.
That said, Raven! So awesome, Raven! And that in turn brought Jasper around. I was a little surprised that the B plot didn't intersect with the A plot, but I guess that's next week.

Once Upon a Time: Making hell a twisted version of Storybooke seems like a good move in terms of saving money on set design and construction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
OUAT: But I suspect that negotiations with some actors (playing deceased characters) may have been rather involved.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I spent most of last night's episode not trusting the Meg character just because of who was playing her.
