I pay like $90 a month for cable and internet. All my promos have long expired. If there was a service that let me get USA live, I'd cut off the ~$20 a month the cable portion of that costs me.

I just want to watch Raw live.

If you call and say you're thinking about quitting, they might give you a new promo.

WWE has a streaming service, though I don't know if it includes live matches.

Ah American's have a much better choice than Canadians. We have Netflix and the weird ones that are tied to whatever cable company is providing your internet. Hulu does not exist for us, and last time I checked Amazon Streaming wasn't either.

Shomi has actually been open to everyone since the summer, and Crave switches over in January.

Amazon Video doesn't exist in Canada, but Shomi has the Amazon exclusives. Not at the same time though.

Holy poo poo that was a fantastic loving episode of Agents of Shield.


Also they are actually going to follow through on Gorilla City in Flash and it's going to be loving awesome.

Flash was pretty solid. I think the crew are really coming into their own in great ways, and it is fun seeing them play off each other. Caitlyn had an especially good arc last night. Also Grodd remains awesome and I loved the ending.

Also helps that the love polygons are locked in the trunk. Any love and flirting there is tends to be played for comedy or plain adorableness instead of drama, which is fantastic.

God yes. A show with romantic subplots that doesn't dwell on them. Imagine such a world.

Flash was great. Supergirl was alright, but I imagine it was probably better than the episode they had originally intended to show. (The preview was pure love triangle bullshit.)

There was a certain schadenfreude to seeing Winn awkwardly kiss Kara on the cheek and then be completely ignored the second James Olsen appears, evaporating into nothingness.

Outside of the phone call during dinner, the love stuff was handled pretty decently this week. But maybe I just tolerated it more because there was juicy back story mystery plot to move things forward. Also good character development for Cat.

Hahaha I had the same reaction. At first, I was going to blame the amount of time it takes to make these episodes but considering that AoS had an Ashley Madison joke in it this week, I guess not.

The one bad thing about Arrow this season is that they seem to have put all that negative energy into Diggle in order to save the rest of the cast. ...And then they gave him a terrible mask to top it off.

The show just feels really low-budget this season. And no one gives a poo poo about the flashbacks, so cutting that out of the budget couldn't hurt.

My gf and I joke that Dig must be a better shot than Oliver since he wears a mask that would pretty much blind him.

He probably is a better shot with a gun. Oliver was trained in using Bows and Bow Fu. he can use a gun of course. But Dig is someone who was a top flight solider trained to use firearms specifically.

That's because the budget has been slashed as usual with series running for several seasons (mostly because you don't need to pay for new sets again... oh, wait).

You forget the time he fell into a time-dilating dimension, which was three months our time, but three years there.

In response to the BirthMoviesDeath/Bleeding Cool/Peel the Orange rumors, Quesada says Iron Fist is still "being worked on," which isn't as strong a denial as I would have liked to hear, but it's something, at least.
