Allison Mack was a fantastic actress on Smallville, handling whatever ridiculous material they threw at her. So I should probably watch this - with any luck it'll get her noticed more than the CW ghetto allowed.

I'm watching this series for the first time along with these reviews, and I found these two episodes both noticeably better than 'Crackers…'. I enjoyed 'Crackers…' at lot, but I found the characterization to be much stronger in 'The Way…', and didn't have a problem accepting that the various characters wouldn't have…

From the sound of it, this ending does have one of the markers of a Lindelof script: poorly articulated ambiguity.

Good point about whether the other man thinks the 'daughter' is a minor or not. Both are icky, but one goes well beyond even that.

I got all the issues of Solo when it came out, but I loved all of them so much that I'll definitely pick up this Deluxe edition (I did that with Wednesday Comics as well). I hadn't heard of Strange Adventures, though.

I think it's all available digitally from the DC store.

"There’s something really wonderful about playing somebody who wants you
to think they have everything together and is melting down inside."

Yeah. That identified it as Canada to me: to a Brit, Canada has loose guns laws, but the rationale isn't self-defense.

I definitely suspect Donnie too. There was that odd little shot where Alison caught him looking at her while Ainsley was speaking, then he backed her up suspiciously quickly after she got control of the intervention. And, as you say, he's being unreasonably understanding.
