This hour felt entirely superfluous, and yet I really loved the meaty character work they gave Sarah.

omg, Dinah’s sad face was KILLING me. She had one expression to emote sadness and froze her face that way.

In addition to seeing Rise of Skywalker like everyone (though I waited a week because we decided early on it wasn’t a money worth spending babysitter money on, so we waited until we were visiting family and left kiddo with grandparents), I watched Lost in Space. The first half of the season definitely was giving me

How is “gritty Ghostbusters reboot but starring kids” supposed to be better than All Female Ghostbusters? 

On the podcast this week, Ben Koldyke spoke about how much he drew in Kavanaugh for this. That “I accomplished something!” scene REALLY pulls it out.

Butthead wasn’t censored in S1, so butt munch I think can get a pass. Damn...I feel like I’ve heard it before? But it’s also such a mild curse at this point I may be making that up.

How many Congressmen attended Princeton? Those would definitely top the list.

When Simone point-blank asked why they were dealing with this shirt, I was sure a “THIS is the Bad Place” revelation was coming.

I caught the last 10 minutes or so waiting for The Good Place. I knew absolutely nothing about the show, but the delivery of “There should be more than that...” regarding the snakes got a real laugh out of me.

Same. I glanced down at my phone when the episode ended, then looked back up expecting to see credits and instead it’s Hitler. I ended up watching the montage twice. Just a series of photos, but so incredibly damning.

The music change wrecked me.

So far the gaping plot hole of the cross-over: all of this is just to get Supergirl’s heart. So why go out of your way to target her when she’ll be surrounded by other superheroes? Sure, on Earth-32 she’d have Superman for backup, plus J’onn, but that’s it! Much easier prey.

I actually thought Eleanor’s dedication to being a better person was finally getting through to Michael tonight, and he was either going to go confess to Shawn or at least tell Vicki to shove it with her blackmail.

Josh is going to turn Rebecca’s lawsuit right around and Sue the shit out of her for libel, right? I mean, someone else is going to have to suggest it, but he has a hell of a better case than Rebecca does against him...

I liked the Tim subplot as its own thing. I laughed several times and thought the song was great. But it did feel entirely out of left field. Which B plots totally can be, but usually they’re at least about characters I already care about so I’m happy to go on a side story with then.

Maybe it’ll show up in episode 4, when the director of that video directs an episode. (He’s also the director of the new theme song).

9 times out of 10 their relationship is the best (they actually talk out their problems!). I was unimpressed this week though. It felt like the counseling session boiled down to Darryl promising again to stop bringing up the baby thing (though he’s done that before and failed - what’s different now?), and White Josh

A friend and I were texting during the show and she said the same thing about Donna Lynne deserving an Emmy. But Valencia won the hour for me with “an I alive? How did I die?”

I enjoyed a lot of this episode! But every once in awhile the script adds dialogue in an attempt to up the drama where there’s no need. Tonight’s example was Alex worrying that Kara can’t breathe under water. We’ve seen Kara survive outer space. How would a harbor be more inhospitable than that?!

Alex promised to love Maggie forever. I was pretty sure Maggie was going to be the one with scaffolding dropped on her head. (And for a hot second I thought Mom-with-superpowers was being introduced as a backup love interest)
