I largely agree with you. Once the romance with Kara was off the table, they must have looked for other aspects of James' character to emphasize, and realized he didn't have any.

Viewers of good television everywhere.

We're only seeing this from Alex's perspective, too, and not Maggie's. Maybe she's crushing on Alex, and just playing it cool around her. That's what could have led to the breakup with the other girlfriend.

Mon-El as Super-Douche is only redeemed by his charming semi-lack of awareness. Over time, it could be less so. Maybe they should have let Superman take him.

"The best optics," huh? There's an understatement. I'll reiterate, that, although the Kara/James relationship never seemed to work, to dump it so abruptly was kind of bad. Especially since it left Jimmy pretty much at sea. He is not coming across as believable as Cat Grant's replacement, what with so many more…

Maybe people like me would have stopped giving Cartoon Network shit about Young Justice, if they hadn't dumped it so unceremoniously, while nearly totally turning their schedule over to Teen Titans Go! some days.

My question is, how long are we expected to put up with this? After last week, this episode was a punishing slog, and I know that more like it are coming. Let's face it, Rick and the group will eventually resolve to fight against Negan, but it seems unlikely to occur until the latter half of the season.

I'll admit to some disappointment here. By the very nature of Dr. Strange's character, I thought that his movie would be somewhat resistant to the MCU formula. Strange isn't likely to resolve a conflict with a punch to the face. Unfortunately, it seems that
nothing short of a number of flops will make them break the…

A big problem with impressionists, in general, is that they will rely largely on the minutiae of their impressions, and less on saying, well, funny things. This was Dana Carvey's problem during his heyday, and I have no reason to believe things have changed.

Only this show could eke a positive moment out of a young man using a storage space as his home. Or play an illegal police shooting for anything less than a tragic, affecting moment.

Thank you for your input, Mr. Snyder.

Khary Payton was really good in the role of Ezekiel. Largely because he avoided going full avuncular Morgan Freeman here, which I assume was always an inspiration for the character. But he seems to have more challenges weighing upon him than just being wise and friendly.

They need to get Carol out of this nihilistic need to run and refusal to engage. It made sense for a while, but it's getting a little tiresome. Hopefully, this will be the start of that.

This show has had soooo many episodes full of conversations that are basically, "Woe is us, the world is shit," that it was really refreshing to get this exchange.

Someone got uncomfortable with the idea of Diggle potentially in a romantic relationship with his brother's widow, I think. Although, considering what they ultimately did with Andy, that might not have been a bad development, storywise.

The beginning of the end for them was the entire foolish Ollie's kid storyline, which threw up barriers between them just for the sake of it.

It's helpful that Chad Coleman is a better actor than a lot of the presumably Vancouver-based palookas that these shows use as villains. That's half the battle here.

If anyone asked him who he preferred, I'm sure he would say cocaine.

I'm not talking about the Whisperers as much as I am about Rick & Co.

All that was missing was a title taken from a vintage R&B song.
