Well he aleady had Laurel in S1, and he had Sara last season (who was a MUCH better Canary, IMO), and pre-island, he had them both....

I'm completely not feeling the fan-speared "Olicity" pairing of Ollie and Felicity, though.... it came out of nowhere. Chemistry doesn't need to imply feelings or lust. They were great the way they were at the beginning. Now it just makes me groan.

Last episode was by far the best of the season, though. Something tells me that Argus is going to make SHIELD look like choirboys before this is over with.

FX canceled The Bridge, one of my favorite shows on television right now. It hit its creative stride in Season 2 but the ratings weren't there. :cry:

The Bridge had the best theme song ever, too. :(

Did it get an ending, or get cancelled on a cliffhanger? I'm surprised, FX is usually better about this stuff...

Season 2 was a self-contained story, and they closed the narrative with the finale, but the overall story is still wide open. Not a traditional series finale in any way, shape or form.

I'm hoping Netflix picks it up like they did with The Killing (an inferior show that had even worse ratings).

Hoping Longmire is picked up as well. THAT ended in a cliffhanger.

Right, Netflix and other networks are looking at picking it up.

Does that actually happen? Every show I watch that gets cancelled "hopes" for that to happen, but other then the late season of Arrested Development and the final season of The Killing, has that happened?

Community and Arrested Development are a lot cheaper to produce, ran for quite a number of years originally, and had large fanbases. A one hour scripted drama may cost quite a bit more and may be more difficult for netfllix to pick up. Hope it works out for the fans, I can definitely relate....

Just like A & E killed The Glades on an enormous cliffhanger. :(

The Captain Cold episode of Flash was awesome. Geoff Johns was not fucking around when he said that this show would be the most comic book show ever.

It was great. My 8 year old & I watch when it airs every week. The only other show he cares that much about is a cartoon on Disney called Gravity Falls.

Really? I honestly can't get into Constantine. I've watched all 4 episodes, and there just isn't anything that really grabs me. This has all been done before... even if the Hellblazer graphic novels inspired them all originally. I also wonder if the new female is actually an improvement over the girl they replaced after the pilot... i think i liked her ability a bit better, to see through the veil into the hell world, and witness the demons walking in ours. I haven't read the comics, so I don't know if Zed is supposed to be more important or something.

Apparently that truck hit Agent Sitwell so hard in Captain America: The Winter Soldier that it knocked him into an alternate universe of The Walking Dead. ;)
