I was not able to keep from imagining her as yet another of Petra's long lost sisters.

Heather is the kindest, most perceptive, most emotionally intelligent character on the show (edit: other than Father Brah) - not a bunch of descriptives that could be leveled at April Ludgate. The only real similarity is their take-it-or-leave-it language and flat affect.

As far as I'm concerned, the CW is putting out arguably the best lineup on television right now: CXG, iZombie, Jane the Virgin, No Tomorrow - they all take standard trope-laden genre conventions and go nuts with them, and with both style and substance. (From what I've heard, a year ago you could've and should've put…

Oh HELL yes.

Even though it worked out great cut short as a gag, I still kinda wanted a whole number.

I have difficulty with cringe-heavy stories, especially ones that lean a lot on public embarrassment (the toughest great show I ever got through was Enlightened - that show is absolutely brilliant, but I think I got through maybe five episodes total without pausing and having to go for a walk). But for whatever…

This makes me quite sad that Greg's story had to be written closed, rather than simply growing and changing the character as a dramatic decision. It makes me start to "what if", and I hate non-thought-exercise "what ifs".

Megan Hilty should totally guest on this show. Possibly as some extreme example of Rebecca's aspirations who she slavishly latches on to/endlessly compares herself to?

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the show that sends you racing to the Great American Songbook in one moment, the DSM-V the next.

Totally agreed. Themyscira looks as widescreen gorgeous as it should. The image of an Amazon (is that Philippus?!) being shot at by a bullet is not just some cool use of slo-mo, it's a moment with huge thematic implications. The industrialised death of the Great War actually manages to make real use of Snyderian…

I'll take some neutering of villains if it humanizes them in a thematically appropriate way - it is a very Diana thing to do (really, the ONLY Diana thing to do) to want to end conflict between all peoples, not just win for a particular side.

Well, Brits have been playing rounders for like three hundred years. It's a simplified version of baseball, and, as it's considered a kid's game, probably the biggest reason they sneer at baseball.

All these excellent points you're making fit neatly inside an even bigger logistic hole: why is there virtually zero mission preparation whatsoever? Wyatt's presence suggests at least some level of military involvement; soldiers don't get kittens out of trees without some sort of mission briefing. The show paces…

Her name is Maxima and she's a fun character, at her core, as long as the "has a thing for Supes" character beat isn't pushed too hard.

Allison, I couldn't help but think of you during "Maybe This Dream". I read and listened to your and Dominick's ranking of every Disney song over the summer, and it was an amazing, joyous, genuinely moving ride, even to (or likely, especially to) someone not that well versed in the Disney songbook. I really wanted…

I have to admit, besides a lot of speculation that I'm currently content to leave open-ended for now, my only real problem with the show is that I think the cast of characters is too small for the premise. Absolutely nothing seems to happen that doesn't revolve around the same five people, and it's becoming…

They even put his phony house at Number 6 Village Lane!

Weirdly, the character they used in the Madvillainy homage was Jane Foster Thor.

I discovered her some time ago on YouTube - in the short pieces I saw, she was very intriguing, definitely on the "dark thoughts stream of consciousness" end of stand-up with a lot of self-searching. At times she seemed to ignore audience demands completely, but always seemed to bring it back around to an actual…

There's multiple rental units on the property, all of them little one-room rat hovels to house broke, bushy-tailed flockers to Swingin' London that no one will miss.
