How long do we have to tolerate William?


This was the worst addition to any show throughout the history of TV. The kid can't act, and the writing for his dialog is horrendous. Not to mention the way they have him behaving and what they make him do.....

Looks like they took the idea of an annoying kid from "The Strain".

Actually, I very much like how the character of William has grown from pissed-off and closed-off kid to open and accepting son. TONIGHT'S episode, which turned William into a fucking stupid and clinging blatant plot contrivance tells me that the writers' dealer has lost his access to the really good toot. To characterize the kid playing William as someone who can't act is to say that he is like EVERYONE else acting on The CW Dare To Defy Reason, Taste And Plot Network.

I'll say it again: Legends Of Tomorrow is the only CW show that works because it gleefully celebrates being a shit show on a shit network!

I seriously can't believe you said that. I was going to use the exact same example! I wasn't sure if anyone would get what I was talking about though. All that kid did was snarl and cock his head to the side...

Until he gets bit by a walker?

Don’t quit your day job.

Maybe someone should set up a "Ways to Waste William" site?

Thinking things over, I have no problem with the character William Clayton, I have no problem with the kid (Jack Moore) that plays William Clayton, I DO have a problem, though, when the screen writers start making William a part of Team Arrow (nothing personal, junior Arrow fans, but he IS just a kid, you know).

I was hoping he would stay more in the Background, because him + Felicity together are almost unbearable to watch.

I cringe every time he goes running into her arms like a 3 year old. It's just weird.
