Tina Fey actually has herself shot from the (stage) left side of her face (her right) as much as possible because of that scar, or at least she used to.

Sure, it doesn't matter whether it's acne or something else.

And I also checked this episode and confirmed that Kara's glasses don't even come close to covering the acne scar on her forehead, even if she were to push them right up. I'm honestly surprised Cat didn't mention it when she was listing reasons why Kara Danvers and Supergirl were the same person.

I don't think it is wrong that they don't act - it's the bystander effect, basically - but if I had made that film, I definitely would have cut the stuff on the boats where they debate and vote about it out. It'd be more effective if you just did the setup, including the Joker's message to them, and then had him…

Yep. "You've gotta tell me if you're a cop, right?"

One thing I am intrigued about when it comes to a television adaptation is Sam Black Crow, who - now that I've seen Neil Gaiman's references to future books in the series* - seems much like someone who could become the protagonist of one of those future books.

My story is less emotional, since my dad is both alive and a fan of science fiction and fantasy, but American Gods is the first book that I ever turned him onto, as opposed to my picking up something he owned and falling in love with it.

I think it's about trying to do something "legitimate" for Jessica.

You mean the MRAddler?

Yeah, it would be interesting to show the "pleasant face" of that whole phenomenon, especially with Kilgrave on Jessica Jones providing the more aggressive and openly deluded counterpoint.

I don't care if people don't like Man of Steel, but I think anyone who watched that scene where Jonathan Kent discusses the bus accident with Clark and comes away thinking Jonathan was saying he definitely should have let them die simply wasn't paying attention.

I was thinking during the schoolbus scene that it's lucky she wears those glasses, because Benoist has a little acne scar or something slightly off-centre from her nose between her eyebrows; obviously Cat Grant would never notice, nor presumably Maxwell Lord, but anyone else who got to see Kara Danvers and Supergirl…

I genuinely didn't guess. I also didn't guess even after seeing a screenshot of J'onn from the reveal posted on reddit shortly before I watched; I assumed, given the plot of the episode, that maybe J'onn was held prisoner elsewhere in the facility and escaped.

I always thought that was clever - like Kara keeping her Kryptonian name as her Terran name, it means you're never caught out. I mean, Clark Kent doesn't have that issue because he grew up as Clark before learning his birth name was Kal-El, but still.

It's interesting that David Harewood continues the 21st century tradition of casting the Martian Manhunter as black in his human form, and/or casting a black voice actor in animation.

Joel de la Fuente, especially with his glasses on, looks a lot like a younger version of my father-in-law - they're both ethnically Filipino. Quite strange.

Well, yeah, he's working for the bad guys, but he's still one of the two main protagonists - "Our Hero" isn't a moral judgement but a label of protagonist status. Smith and Tagomi aren't protagonists, but Tagomi is much more a hero in the moral sense than just about anyone else in the show, with the possible exception…

It's an interesting choice for the theme tune, because The Sound of Music would not, of course, have been written at all in this universe - but what "Edelweiss" represents in that show is Captain von Trapp's Austrian patriotism in the face of forced accession to Nazi Germany in the Anschluss.

John Smith and Nobusuke Tagomi are, unfortunately, more interesting than Our Heroine and Our Secret Nazi Hero. I enjoy Frank Frink's character arc, though I don't really believe he would want to have anything to do with Juliana after everything.

I didn't much care for his character in Game of Thrones, but I thought he was good in The Hour.
