It's still not in context of the show and taken by some rando's phone/camera. Of course it's not going to look good. This growing trend of judging shows/movies based on out of context pictures taken by fans is insane to me.

No? There's nothing wrong with the word hooker. " We're going to make our own ___ with backjack and hookers!" is one of the most common jokes on this forum.

They took that woman, dressed her like a typical Crime TV show  veteran hooker and said it's Starfire.

I’m gonna leave it at this one post to not take the thread off track, but hooker is a distinctly derogatory term for sex workers who have it hard enough as it is. Just because it’s been done before doesn’t make it okay.

On top of that, let’s not indicate that looking like a sex worker is a bad thing.

I’ll leave it there and move on.

Why is hooker derogatory? Its origins aren't even well established so it's not offensive for that reason.

There’s more than one source out there on this, but I like this one to explain a few terms.

Ok,  while I agree with almost that whole thing..

The sex workers I know feel strongly that it is, and they (sex workers in general) are the ones who determine that. There are other easily googled resources on that.

But we can say hooker in the rugby thread

LoT & AoS are like the direct opposite of each other and they're each so fucking good at what they do. Both are far and away better than any other superhero show on TV.

Agree 100%.  I never gave up on AoS, even during that rather weak first half of S1.  But I gave up on LoT 6 episodes into S1.  Only picked up on it again after I read many reviews raving how much better S2 was

[Benjamin]

Yeah, I think I was really ready to give up on LoT in season 1, mostly for the bloody bird couple more than anything else, IIRC. I don't remember what kept me watching, unless it was just that I was lucky to have so much free time at the time.

I quit watching Legends of Tomorrow after that ridiculous episode about the stuffed animal toy becoming a pagan god or whatever.

I've never watched Legends of Tomorrow and that sounds just bizarre enough that I might start.

If you do,  skip S1 and go right to S2.  

[=BK=]

Legends isn't my thing because I don't like 99% of time travel stuff and the general buzz around it tells me it's one of those shows people like because it's wacky but I love the Star City 2046 episode. It's like the best Arrow episode.

Led to the best finale payoff ever.

[DFF]

So, the LoT ep 'Guest Starring John Noble'... equal parts ridiculous and brilliant.
