I see Benoist has invented an interesting new pronunciation of "automatons". I kinda like it.

More than ever, this strikes me as an improv-esque storyline (at every moment, instantly go with the first idea anyone comes up with in the writing room) that was then given scripted-TV-esque rehearsal and production. Which reinforces my opinion that this show is too much like a personal pet/vanity project that…

Watch out for Sweaty Boot Rash.

Even if 2001 had never existed, I think I would have a similar (though less extreme) reaction to 2010. I'd have seen a trailer or read about it and gotten all excited, and then felt the experience a big let-down from what it could have been. But still fun enough to watch (and make fun of at times).

Yeah, I think the prior Livewire episode was the one that I missed and had just assumed that "I HATE helicopters" was a callback to something in there. But learning otherwise doesn't surprise me given the caliber of the writing here.

Yeah, like, Supergirl was stopped from using her heat vision by the Banshee scream earlier, but when she has those cool earbuds to protect her, wouldn't it just take two little zaps to disintegrate them both? Or were we supposed to intuit that she wouldn't do that because she's unwilling to hurt them too badly?

Ordinarily I'd take jenna to task for laying down such harsh judgement on a show she watched less than half of. But I watched the whole thing and also thought it was all rather awkward. Some of the awkwardness was charming, but not most.

Oh yeah! I'm not sure if The Kiss was supposed to look terrible because Jimmy was being turned into a zombie right at the moment it started, but yikes… Kara's intro to it was great and romantic and then the kiss itself looked super uncomfortable.

Wow, reading this review and some of the comments makes me so surprised that I'm a fan of the same show as you guys! I really do like the show, but this episode felt comparatively very weak.

Ruth!

I stand by my long-held theory: Jason = secret psychopath.

Indeed, I would be pleased if by the finale, Alicia finds herself and gives up her recent dalliances with tequila and (shudder) teetotaling to return to her full, full, full glass of red wine.

Ahhhh, ok. I can't find the link now (probably corrected), but it was included on the list of renewals published by a source who should have double-checked. Then when I sought confirmation I found a story referencing the threat to continue the series without the Kings, without noticing it came out back in January.

Why am I not seeing any coverage here of the shocking news that TGW has been renewed for an 8th season, sans the Kings as show-runners? Do people not know about this?

Not-so-modern Things Which Ichabod Doth Not Abide: anapests.

I do think Togetherness was doing something that hadn't been done a lot before. Points for originality and being special. But whatever it had in the first season that in addition to being special was also valuable (compelling, entertaining, important, what have you) seemed to dissipate a lot in the second. I wasn't tha…

At the risk of expecting the show to be exciting, I'm still betting Jason turns out to be a manipulative psychopath.

Oh yeah, the intense hand on the chest move? I have used that a lot.

I agree as well, but I suspect this is too sophisticated a trick for the show's writers to pull. They seem to enjoy keeping things pretty direct.

I was feeling pretty sure Superman was about to burst onto the scene at the battle climax when it looked like Kara was about to kill Alex (when Hank's martian form did instead). Would have been a great reveal at that moment with all the dramatic tension.
