If the CW wants another Berlantiverse show, I'd totally go for some sort of Birds of Prey thing on Supergirl's Earth.

You mention catalyst vs. end game, and it makes me wonder who Alex will end up in a CW-obligatory relationship with.

On second thought, let's not go to Gotham. 'Tis a silly place.

I mean to say, I think you could stream it from National Geographic's website for the past couple weeks.

I think the first episode was available online for a couple weeks before it aired? I found out about it on… [checks download directory] October 28th, when it popped up on a totally legit video site I frequent.

"A character is killed off in a particularly gruesome manner and left to be found just to offend or insult someone, or to cause someone serious anguish."

No, seriously: The first season was really a whole different show from what you saw. The second season was crap due to meddling — both Varma's character (Pucci needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine) and the pointless annoying thief were shoehorned in to try and appeal to a more female…

I have no idea what show you watched, but Human Target was really a delightful show — wish it could have gotten a second season.

That's a pork-pie, not a bowler.

And that underestimation in 3) is a direct consequence of the MASS deception.

I liked how von Braun almost quotes the Tom Lehrer song.

Jim Gordon makes all his girlfriends build up an immunity to iocane.

You're not wrong about there being a different experience for fulltimers vs. parttimers, and I actually think you've got it right. But allow me to present a more cynical interpretation…

Wait, The Creeper? Marvel and DC finally do a crossover, and it's in Jessica Freaking Jones, and I missed it?! Man, I gotta rewatch it now, and pay more attention this time.

True, but in point of fact it's largely immaterial — we never got to see for sure what the game/demo really would have been. Everything we saw, starting with the table-top whack-a-mole demo, was the product of a corrupted upload to the brain. Logically, some of it is a product of whatever preconceptions Cooper brought…

The last fragment of a once-living planet, its body blasted into dust by the madness of its own inhabitants, while its head was cursed to roam aimlessly through time and space, screaming in pain and sorrow.

Something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?

First, "last few episodes" is a strange thing to say about a show that's had three episodes so far. Second, in the pilot, Lucy lost her sister. In the second episode, her fiancee appeared. So this episode is the first one without a noticeable change in the present — 2 out of 3 (or even 1 out of 2, discounting the…

I think it's worth mentioning, for those of us who remember, the AV Club used to permit anonymous comments in the pre-disqus days, and I don't remember the comments being any worse before than after.

Yeah, I guess what was clear in my head, but didn't make it into the comment, is that all of history is made of those blind choices (most of which are like toast vs. cereal, but a few are more serious, and are made with the same blindness to long-term outcomes), and it looks (to me, YMMV) like we've muddled through on…
