Next up David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

I can see that. And I think that's part of my what frustrates me about Kara's reaction - it feels like they're only having her blow up over the whole "he kept a secret from me!" for the sake of dragging out the drama. This where I wish the CW was willing to let more characters behave with more maturity.

Oh, no doubt Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo are about turn villain any moment now…

The way the Mon-El/Kara plot played out was almost distressingly predictable. From the moment it became clear Mon-El was keeping the truth from her about being Crown Prince of Daxom, it became pretty obvious how things were going to go. How utterly disappointing.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's way too early to say one way or the other. The last time I feel like I heard anyone crowing this was over The Last of Us, and even that one took a couple of months for it to definitively set in. Even Witcher 3 I feel took a while after its release before people really started

Jasper's got nothing on Murphy - especially in episodes like this one.

I spent the episode dreading her death. I'm loving her on the show right now, so I do kind of worry she's not long for this world.

Not a bad episode. There was minimal Jasper, no one bitching at Clarke, and all the characters at hand were usefully deployed. Plus, there was some surprisingly effective material: Jaha and Kane teaming up to take down the mob; Octavia's breakdown over Lincoln; and especially Murphy handling Raven, which I love on

See, I just don't buy this idea that leadership and the ability of a team to follow orders could be a separate thing. I'd say the fact that they were such fools in first season is a failing of his leadership.

I also appreciated the maturity of all the characters at hand.

I'm hoping the Ray and Eobard stuff pays off down the line. Eobard wasn't wrong about their similarities - and Ray's flaws.

That's unfair. Sara has demonstrated herself to be a good leader this season in her decisiveness, her ability to people manage the team, and her willingness to not dig in when she makes mistakes. Rip struggled under the weight of lies and hypocrisy (and he was absolutely terrible at people management) - that's why I

By the time they hit "big red ball turns people into zombies" I thought they were pretty aware of how ridiculous it all was and were just going with it.

Surely Ray has already written that for himself.

Sara's sunglasses were laughably distracting.

I enjoyed how the handled the Sara vs Rip as captain debate - especially in their last scene together. The two of them have always had a nice chemistry, and it was big of him to admit that she's better at it than him.

True, and I do love Victor Garber. It's kind of depressing to think that Paul Blackthorne and John Barrowman would be considered "old" for this network.

That made me crazy in first season that they never really he explained why he cheated on Raven with Clarke other than "…cause?"

"What was that for?"
"I just had a bad feeling about him - like he was going to slaughter a whole village of people for no reason at all."

Poor Nyko…
