It was better than Flash's DNA binary malware, but still awkward. Like ".NET or Java?" would have made more sense but I get it. Now the way they use "algorithm" on the other hand is purely another word for "magic".

Arrow mid-season finale. They have not one, but two generic comic book tech geniuses but nobody ever sweeps for bugs or non-expected transmissions? They don't have an intrusion prevention system (or even detection system)? They don't have a firewall that blocks unknown egress traffic? They don't look for wires that they didn't run? gently caress, the entire base should be a huge Faraday cage with a few small openings for authorized transmissions. There are high school drop-outs who are better at cybersecurity then they are. And the solution to figure out who was testifying was super easy:
They are all so dumb. So very dumb. Edit: calm down. just tell yourself that "this is an alternate earth where some offensive technology is 50 years ahead and defensive technology is 50 years behind" Aleph Null fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Dec 28, 2017 |

Phylodox posted:Someone already pointed out that all of their inter-team drama conveniently took place in front of the camera, so it’s not unlikely they’re setting up a “we knew you were watching so we staged the team breaking up to catch you off guard” twist. I don't think the writers are that clever, but we'll see.

Wheat Loaf posted:Man, it's been almost 10 years and I'm still befuddled by the memory of Internet people complaining that the Speed Racer movie was "too silly" and how "fans deserved edgier fare". For me, Speed Racer captured the cartoon, almost too literally. But I loved it for it. Same as Dick Tracy. And the Spridle and Chim Chim was 100% like the cartoon. And the casting was absolutely perfect.

bentacos posted:I wish they had kept Nyssa around to continually dunk on Felicity about being married to Ollie first. The "sister wife" quip was easily the best line of the entire season. Edit: Diaz. Diaz-who? It was neat to have a secret villain embedded in Cayden's crew, but Diaz didn't earn the role. He was a nobody with no foreshadowing, no real backstory, just "I have millions and millions of dollars and a network of informants and spies who can suss out how to blackmail literally every single person in Star City -- and I hate Oliver Queen for 'reasons'." I was hoping they'd embrace Oliver being mayor and have him hang up the hood, give it to Diggle. Take the show in an actual interesting direction. But, nope. This crap. Again. I hate this dumb show but keep watching it. If only to see how stupidly and inconsistently they can write everyone. I was furious over how they've been writing Dinah. She had no reason to care that deeply for Vince. She had no reason to "fall" for him again. She had no reason to be driven to homicidal rage when he was murdered. They had a six month relationship while undercover. How can Legends of Tomorrow be so good while Flash and Arrow are so horrible? Aleph Null fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Apr 16, 2018 |

STAC Goat posted:Whether or not you personally feel someone can fall in love in 6 months or how strong one's feelings can be for having that person murdered in front of you, its been Dinah's characterization since the beginning. When we met her she was in a murderous rage seeking revenge for Vince after seeing him murdered in front of her. She never gave any indication that she had moved past him or gotten over him. So it makes perfect sense for her character to fall back in love when she finds out he's alive and to once again go into a murderous rage after once again having her murdered in front of him. All the other drama being icing on the cake. It's just... they didn't really make her seem like the "homicidal rage" type until this happened. She seemed like a level-headed, intelligent, cop. I'm not even sure why she turned to vigilantism other than "I have a super power". I honestly don't remember. But, I want consistent characterization like "this doesn't change anything hoss."

STAC Goat posted:Maybe not remember her origin is the problem. Because when we met her she was a homicidal vigilante raging out and revenge killing over Vince's murder. Oliver had to talk her down and appeal to her as someone who had been there and found a better way to get her to join the team and pay by his rules. Its entirely consistent for her to become the same person under the same circumstances with the same dead dude, especially as she rebels against Oliver's rules. It hasn't even been that long of a time span. Okay. She is a rage-fueled killing machine by default. The whole "good cop" thing is her cover like when Ollie was a playboy millionaire by day and murderer by night. Got it. That makes more sense. Her cover is so good, she even fooled me (because my memory is bad). Edit: I like character growth. I was really hoping she was the good cop. But she isn't, is she?
