*falls onto a pile of untapped Gotham potential*

A ballpoint billao!

Flight This-Was-A-Thing-That-Happened is going to have some sweet payoff when it's revealed in the season finale that the PLANE is a zombie, and is now stalking the group. But next season will show that they can handle the threat, because JET FUEL CAN'T MELT THEIR STEELY RESOLVE TO SURVIVE!!!!!!

I feel like Zemo worked out alright in this as the "basically the main villain but not quite" villain. While the explanation for his actions was fairly basic, I feel like by the end it worked pretty well, and I appreciated the sort of inversion of typical villain logic with his hunt for the additional super soldiers

The real truth behind the movie is RIGHT THERE.

I wish more had happened in the tent city. It just looked cool.

I'll give this episode a point for the plane survivor bit. I honestly couldn't figure out exactly why the guy was still in the plane, and then WHOOPS there's the reason why.

I've got to think she'll be back, although I can only imagine Two-Face: Year One won't. Of course, finally introducing the survivors of Flight I'm-Not-Using-The-Number-Even-When-I-Remember-It and then having the final two get cut loose in the ocean is kind of…. dumb?

I never bothered to get into GoT, beyond reading the first three books "before it was cool."

The one advantage Supergirl has over the finale to TWD is that we have no actual expectations of what might be in the pod. I suppose the same could be said of who Negan ultimately killed, but with that show anyone who knew stuff about the comics had an idea of who COULD die, even if they picked someone else. Or

Curses! The answer was in my mind briefly, yet the hat connection never solidified. I'm a poor, poor riddle solver. I was also a poor Scout.

Yeah, that makes sense to me now. At the time, the pieces didn't connect since last week left me thinking the other boat was going to end up finding them sooner rather than later, not giving them the time to go anywhere.

I was kind of thrown off by the fact that last week's ending seemed to give the idea that a mystery boat was headed in their general direction and would be able to overtake them eventually, and then this week it's just "hey, let's go to this island for shit." Although last week's episode also ending with one of those

That can be a twist near the end of the season: They end up returning through the area and discover the island itself has since become a zombie. They then breathe a collective sigh of relief that they followed their shared psychic vision of the future.

For what it's worth, at least in this case we're only having to wait a few weeks between the ending of a thing and the follow-up to said thing. It's just that in this case, the thing was stupid and no one should care all that much by default (admittedly, some would probably say that about the TWD season finale). At

I actually expected them to hang on to the kid for a bit but then started trying to recall what happened to the older brother. And lo, no new people joined the regular cast!

I think I would've actually preferred someone nearby on their phone this past weekend when I went to go see Batman v Superman over what I ultimately got, which was one or two people with about three kids who were all potentially under the age of ten, and at least one was probably five or younger. That was FUN.

Don't listen to anyone else. It will ALWAYS be cool to like MADtv. I think. I mostly just remember the parts I liked, and that's good enough for me.

It's the Plot Fog. Sadly, they didn't stick around long enough to get killed by the Plot Leper Ghosts.

While I'm fine with Lucifer getting another season, especially since I figured it seemed to perfectly fit into that slot of "show that can be pretty fun to watch, but may or may not be pulling in the right ratings to keep it alive," it kind of sucks that this got renewed but we're still waiting on CBS to say something
