Oh dear, the AV Club clearly has not been keeping up with the amount of Kara/Lena shipping in the Supergirl fandom if you guys think that headline is not promising things that, I suspect, the show isn't going to pay off.

The J'onn/M'gann plot wrapped up (reasonably well, though it's always a problem when American genre TV tries to grapple with something as weighty as genocide), and the Kara/Mon El romance took a few steps forward. No progress on the Luthor story, alas, and way too much emphasis on the dreadful James/Guardian story,…

Jared Kushner worked his ass off to get a Nazi in the American white house. Breaking the sabbath is so far down the list of his problems as a Jew that it shouldn't even matter. If I were his rabbi - and assuming that his rabbi isn't just as corrupt and immoral as he is - I would pretty much be obliged to bar his…

I liked the songs in La La Land while I was watching the movie, and they stayed with me for a while afterwards. But they're so tied up in the story that I imagine they'll fall flat as an Oscars performance, especially since they're designed for performers without much vocal talent or range of expression.

I'm honestly more surprised by the people, of any race, who agree to go to the white house. I mean, dear lord, would you let your kids near that man?

I wonder what the threshold is for the CW deciding that Arrow should start wrapping up. Normally I'd say that even with lower ratings, they'd want to keep it going for as long as the stars are willing, like Supernatural and Smallville. But with three other DC shows, it might be worth their while to let the actors'…

Whether or not she has other plans for his money, it's now impossible to see her acceptance of Rafael as her brother in a purely positive light. Clearly she was hoping to soften him up so that he wouldn't look too closely at "Eileen".

Honestly, I don't get this at all. I never thought Luisa was particularly fun or sympathetic, so the fact that I keep hearing that she's a fan favorite (which is presumably the reason she gets away with being an awful person) is completely baffling to me.

I realize that this is not what anyone is focusing on right now, but can we take a moment to acknowledge that Luisa is a bad person? And by "acknowledge" I don't mean "LLN chews her out but then she makes a teary face and all is forgiven". I mean, Luisa is a villain and it's high time the show started treated her…

Honestly, I'd like it if the show's writers started thinking about an end-game after four or maybe five seasons. The show is based on a telenovela, after all, and they're designed to have a limited lifespan so they don't end up circling around the same plot points (as JtV has started to do). Plus, Gina Rodriguez's…

I'm going to be in New York at the end of March, and was thinking of making a day trip to DC to see the new museum. No going - the earliest you can get a pass right now is April. So I guess some people are going, though how many of them are white I have no idea.

And all of the US ambassadors. Apparently it's customary to keep the previous administration's ambassadors in place after an inauguration so their kids can finish out the school year. But either no one told Trump or he didn't care, because he fired them all (technically, accepted their previously submitted letters…

Yeah, I mean, zeroing in on Eve as the problem with Into Darkness is some pretty selective reading. Benedict Cumberbatch as not-Khan-we-totally-swear-but-yeah-we-guess-he-is-aren't-you-shocked-oh-wait-you-all-guessed-it-already-and-you're-not-impressed is right there.

Hasn't that been the story of basically every big hit in the last five years? Most of them have staying power for maybe a season, but that's about it.

Oh lord. I tried to watch Superior Donuts and had to give up after ten minutes. It had all the tired ethnic humor of Two Broke Girls without either Kat Dennings or Beth Behrs to give the show some justification for existing. And now you're telling me it's a hit? Even with a Big Bang Theory lead-in, that's…

I think there's a slight chance the show is going to circle back to this. Last week's anger outburst with Connor, and Michaela specifically referencing Sinclair when she yelled at him for it, suggest there's a chance the show will eventually conclude that Asher has a violent temper. But the more it uses him as comic…

She didn't kill any of them, but she's not innocent. She's an accessory after the fact to Sam, Rebecca, and Sinclair's murders, and she framed the Hapstalls while they were her clients (I honestly don't remember how the show left it with them - did they die?). Lila is all on Sam and Frank, but again, once she knew…

I wish I could call that an explicitly anti-abortion stance, but unfortunately it seems to have become par for the course in an entertainment industry that a) never bothers to imagine that women have an inner life and might, you know, want to live as distinct beings from their offspring, and b) is so terrified of the…

I don't think this is quite fridging. This is fridging's less common but still super-annoying cousin, "woman gets pregnant under circumstances in which any sane person would terminate the pregnancy, does not terminate the pregnancy, and dies for it".

They also don't really want rich (white) women such as their wives, daughters and mistresses not to be able to have abortions. This is a law that targets poor and mostly non-white women, and its purpose is to keep them dependent on men.
