This show keeps getting better, it's a shame nobody's watching. This was a very good episode.

Another Gordo-free episode, I'm going to hope that the writers eventually realized that they failed in translating that character/relationship from film to TV and have phased him out.

Sorry I haven't been pulling my oar in the conversation-boat, much. I'm curious to see where they're going with the Nightingale's fixation on the Sullivans. They don't have enough side characters for them to be able to do a dramatic reveal. But at this point I'm mainly curious to see whether, since I don't think CW has ordered additional episodes, they'll end on a cliffhanger or not.

It's not getting enough ratings to be renewed? It's my surprise favorite of this season, like Lucifer last season. Both are broadcast network shows that do many things by-the-numbers and should just irritate the hell out of me, but both shows somehow manage to hugely entertain me anyway, even when they're dumb. I really want this show to succeed. But I'm not sure why.
