Look at the Kryptonian ambassadors to Daxam: two ambassadors, and they brought one single-passenger ship (the logistics of which must have been interesting), which they weren't going to breach protocol and use during a planetary disaster. They'd die first! (And did.)

Well, all (male) Talokians have…

Though in the comics that's not his real name. :-)

Especially since the prince of Daxam is a public enough figure (as the heir apparent to Krypton's historic enemy) that Kara should recognize his name if he's using his real one.

On the one hand, humans look the same and wear the same clothes on Barry's and Supergirl's Earth. On the other, there'd be something to be said for some arbitrary change to acknowledge the difference.

To be fair, as crime schemes go, "alien fight club" was also a little baroque.

Winn could have at least gotten in an "engaging chevrons".

Which has the advantage that Barry and Kara can just be adorable together instead of having lots of Serious Talks and Relationship Drama.

Fair point. You could handwave something about one being her discharging all her energy at once and the other just not being able to process it, but it is an inconsistency.

It's not as if the comics didn't offer multiple options for a superheroic Jimmy Olsen. Or just make him the intrepid reporter who, after all those years with Superman, is just unfazed by the latest sapient dinosaur or skyscraper-sized ape they're facing this week.

Young Justice managed to do Guardian better twice, with two different people in the suit. I really want them to do right by James, but this isn't the direction to go.

There's no real should about it— it being like flipping a switch is how it worked for about thirty years (Silver and Bronze Age), while the "solar battery" concept was how it worked for the next few decades (Byrne et seq.); I don't know how they handled it through the New 52 revamp.

Though the physical aspects of the usual Bad Place environment are probably somewhat accurate, since we know that, e.g., the lava monsters are real. (And didn't Michael talk about it when saying how much fun this alternative would be?)

The house is all 80s tech, so I think you mean "the yellow pages".

Thinking that the Good Place was something else is one thing. Did anyone twig to the idea that Michael wasn't what he seemed?

She has the same insight as Michael, that putting incompatible people inescapably together can be Hell all on its own.

Well, secretly Hell for now, though probably it will ultimately turn out to have been functionally Purgatory. I doubt the series is intended to end with them trapped forever in the Bad Place, and obviously they are making moral progress. (Even Jason.)

Likewise, as Michael's pushing Chidi to "broaden his horizons" by engaging in hobbies that maximize his discomfort, it's suddenly clear that he's enjoying that discomfiture way too much. He's playing them all like fiddles and making them feel apologetic to him for it.

"There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays,/And every single one of them is right!" Twentieth Century Telegraphic is (in the right hands) a way of constructing good prose, not the single good way. Likewise the use of rich descriptors, which can either be lyrical or way overdone.

Yeah, that's one point against the binge model. It's possible to watch this show other than obsessively and still get blindsided by the revelation. If it were a Netflix show, that would have been possible for, what, days?
