“The mysterious hooded group seem to be Mandalorians.”

Seem to be? It was Bo-Katan and Ursa Wren. They were even listed in the credits.

This episode is in D territory. The episodes ends where it started, which is actually where the previous episode ended. No forward momentum. Season 7 is turning into a true

“... following President Donald Trump’s lead in downplaying the significance of the virus itself.

You need to stop peddling this crap. For weeks the major news services in the US told everyone that COVID was nothing and that the flu was worse. Now that they’ve changed their tune it was ORANGE MAN BAD that was to blame.

Rachel Skarsten is often good in Batwoman. Tonight she was phenomenal.

The main problem with this show is how slow it is, and sometimes things the audience has figured out don’t get sorted out by the characters until much later, meaning we’re just waiting for them to catch up.

Also, yeah, Mass Effect. It’s just Mass Effect now.

“Why didn’t they just use water in that viewing thing? Isn’t CGI just a bit much?

CGI is expensive. Water presents its own practical problems, such as reflecting the lights on the set, and having its own reflections.

The lengths they’re going to hide Danielle Panabaker’s pregnancy has reached comical status. Even that first scene where she’s just behind the monitor, so her head and shoulders are sticking out. Her whole fight scene was filmed from the chest up, or far away from behind with a body double. She’s always carrying big ch

As soon as Singh appeared I thought that he’s either the mole, or he’s going to die this episode (long-standing and long-missing guest characters tend to die on sudden returns).

And he didn’t die, which means he’s 99.99% the mole.

*looks at headline*

But... this isn’t The Babylon Bee. You mean this headline isn’t satire?

Trevor proved he was’t superficial, but still, I wouldn’t want to get on the guy’s bad side. He’s a nutcase afterall.

You can’t say Supergirl doesn’t commit to a bit with the opening dragon fantasy sequence that turns out to be an Obsidian Platinum simulation”

Genuinely thought I was watching the wrong show for a moment.

“ He’s less overtly evil in his aims and more humane (or at least seemingly humane) in his methods.

Whilst he is

They fly now???

“done something horrible” = “Made a joke about a gay person over a decade ago.”

You have a low bar for horrible actions.

Aww... no more Debbie... :-(

In six episodes, the series does more than diversify the spy genre, it expands the very nature of it. Beyond providing representation, it proves that diversity in television is most successful when cultures are allowed to make classic tropes their own.”

Jesus Christ... who cares? Tell us if the

I wouldn’t worry too much about Krazy-8. I reckon that kid’s got a long life ahead of him. ;-) 

Anyway, I think that Kim will get that house in the end, but without Jimmy. I think she’ll even slam the door in his face.

A-? This is easily one of if not the best episode of Supergirl to date. This is a flat A.

This episode is disappointing only because Ahsoka was’t in it, but as we shouldn’t criticise an apple for not being an orange, I can’t fault an episode that’s all about the clones for not including a big character who isn’t one.

Otherwise, holy crap has the animation been upgraded. Some of those long tracking shots

Yay! More Debbie. I smiled when she reappeared, and her first line - “Oh no. Am I in your seat? I’ll sit on the floor.” - was just perfect.

She’s kind of an adorable doormat. Adorematable? Ok maybe not that. Anyway, she was fantastic and I hope she’s on the show for a long ti... oh my God what is she doing with the

Pimento’s great. Always fun to have him around.

One thing from LaToya’s review that I think deserves a comment is the fact that this show, from its inception, has relied on two pillars to keep it from drifting off into crazyland (y’know, aside from a rock solid cast):

1. Jake is actually good at his job. If he was’t

I can’t be the only who really likes that the show is acting as if Behrad has been there the whole time and just expecting everyone to go along with it.

It’s not quite at the same level, but Fringe used to do a lot of that “Keep up!” style storytelling in its middle seasons. Basically, this is how it is, we’re not
