Why, whenever anyone complains about anything gay, do they use the term "cramming it down our throats"?
Well, the symbolism is pretty much a no brainer... Ohmy.gif
That said, "cramming it down one's throat" is an allegory for force feeding someone, or to make them consume something they don't want to consume.

Tell ya what... when 99% of the characters in a show are ethnic/gay/lesbian/trans etc and the only token straight white guy gets a ****ty storyline and is killed off just before a happy ending and it happens on every network over and over... Then you can complain. Otherwise, take your privilege and leave.

Aw, did me not liking your homophobia upset you?
Sorry, not sorry.
Actually, government agents using the P90 is a real thing. The US Federal Protective Service, the Secret Service, and INS all use the P90. Here it actually makes sense, as these agents were going against superpowered individuals and vigilantes wearing body armor, so they needed the penetrative capabilities of the 5.7 to be on the safe side.
I was hoping they'd make that joke, but I didn't expect them to come at it from the angle they did.
I also liked how Mick's got a bit of a crush on Kara, though he'll never admit it. "Hey, Skirt! Call me."
Mick and Sara talking about how hot the President is was also funny.
The ending was perfect, though, with Ollie and Barry sitting in a bar having a beer.

Hall of Justice was indeed badass. Similar to the Young Justice stuff too.
Just waiting on a full team based show to operate out of the Cave in Happy Harbour now...haha.
Enjoyed the crossover - I think Flash dealt with Flashpoint really, really well through the prism of the invasion/team/trust angle.
Arrow dealt really well with the 100th episode and whilst the overall episodes of Flash and Arrow were not quite upto series best, they were very good. Got emotional at a few points.
Legends was a lot more clunky, but did it's job well - it dealt with time and aliens in a satisfactory way, other than the overall plot that felt unfortunately very set up to be solved perfectly. Which it was always going to be, so I don't mind that. Very corny comic book though. And yet had the excellent ending of having a beer and a chat with our two pillars of this universe.
Considering this is just them taking advantage of having a shared universe on a few nights of one week over 3 (4) shows....wow. Really top notch. Really makes you appreciate what modern tech does for us, and learning from past writing mistakes when you consider shows like Smallville back in the day!

Can we talk about how bad this season has sucked? I've loved this show since the beginning, I thought season 1 was great and season 2 lost a bit in regards to plot but gained a lot of comedy and a reasonable amount of cheese, but this season hasn't really been enjoyable at all for me. They've gone a little over the top with the cheese at times, the whole Time Bureau thing and Rip leaving the team (actually leaving by choice this time) are awful, but now in this latest episode we get a retcon that Rip has been kind of a dick the whole time? The other characters have grown on me a lot, but Rip was the reason I started watching the show, and my Rip costume is half finished, and now he's not only not in the show, but also basically a bad guy. Not particularly motivated to finish that costume anymore.

Dude! don't give up on the costume. Ignore the retcon and be the heroic Rip from an alternate timeline.
I hate to admit it but other than the future Arrow and crossover Invasion Episode, I try to forget this series....
Which is sad because I like Brandon Roth and always liked the Sara character more than Laurel.
Damien Dahrk kills a room full of Time Bureau agents in Victorian London set to Return of the Mack.
DAMN I love this show!!!

I like the show. But it was always too ambitious for it's budget. Firestorm and the ATOM suit rarely get brought out. They always have some excuse. Jax always has to fix the ship, etc.
Also, I'm starting to wonder if some guy up top said "That Harrison Wells is a different guy each season and people like that show. Let's make Rip a different guy each season."
I'll keep watching it. But my expectations are tempered unless they do an event.
