I love the opening voiceover. "I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist..." Yes, that's definitely how I think about people. "That Barry guy sure is weird, but I guess he's just an ordinary forensic scientist."
Jayne: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife? Wash: Wacky fun.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So the Prometheus reveal surprised me. I was among those who figured Adrian was Vigilante. I don't quite get why he would go through all the effort to save Oliver's job as the mayor (even offering to fall on his own sword) when he's so big on seeing him suffer.
I'm also shocked that Susan apparently doesn't have some sort of ulterior motive (though I wonder why she was so intent in digging up dirt on Oliver, then.)
I love Anatoly. As much as I really don't give a crap about the actual Bratva plot in the flashbacks, I'm enjoying the time with Anatoly.
I'm mostly watching Flash for Cisco at this point. (Though last week's bits between Harry and HR were comedy gold.) They really, really need to find something better for Caitlin to do other than fall for men that end up dying or turn out to be evil (not that Julian is necessarily going to die, but he's still got that whole direct mental link to Savitar going on.)
Speaking of Savitar, they seem to have switched from pure CGI to a suit with CGI enhancements. I imagine that's cheaper, though he looked very "high-end cosplay, but not quite professional-quality" this week.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
For those who aren't on FB, DH interviewed Claudia Black and wrote a really fantastic article about Farscape, Aeryn, and feminism for IWD.

When you posted that on Facebook, I didn't realize it was you, so I got to the end and was surprised (and such a sweet wonderful moment)

Yay, my DVDs of The Librarians are here! No longer dependent on other people's sources!

Jessica, this is a marvelous article.
(but I have to say the bit about SMG "mopping the floor" with CB just makes me wish ita were here to referee... sigh.)

I'm watching my Librarians DVDs--and there are missing scenes! I'm pretty sure. Was Hulu airing edited shows? I'll have to watch them all very carefully.

Legends of Tomorrow is SO MUCH BETTER this year. I wonder how long it took them to realize that the show was actually a comedy?
The stuff with Victor Garber and Rory in Mission Control, oh my god.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I loved that! and there was a repeat at the end ... I didn't quite catch if the other Legends had that on a recording and it will be something they drag out to embarrass them (over and over).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I am finding both The Flash and Arrow super tedious this season, which gives me a sadface given how much I loved them just a couple of years back. I'm a few eps behind on both and tried to watch the last week's ep of The Flash last night, then became totally paralyzed with not caring very much. (Every ep, I find myself going, "Barry, you are the WORST" and not in a good way.) Still sort of interested in the musical crossover with Supergirl so should prolly catch up, but.... eh. It's encouraging that LoT is much better this season though -- once the season ends and makes it to Netflix, I'll probably give it a go.
The one genre show I dug this season was Timeless, which finished its abbreviated run a few weeks back. It's basically a SyFy channel show masquerading as a network TV -- the plots are preposterous, but the characters are super lovable. The central trio has great chemistry together and every episode made me happy with "YAY TEAM" feelings. And one of the more impressive things it did well was touching on various under-taught moments in black history through Rufus, who is African-American and is the main tech person in the trio (and is my favooooourite). Worth checking out if you want a light SFnal adventure yarn with a fun group dynamic.
