Surprised at the grade for the first time in a while. The subtlety with the Kanan/Ezra/Hera trio was well done but this episode should have been done 2 or 3 weeks ago. Instead, it plays as mostly inconsequential filler (again…) with only a double length finale to introduce Maul and go wherever they're going with these…

They miss Caity Lotz on Arrow. (I miss Caity Lotz on Arrow)

Weekly Scoreboard
Flash wins the week (I think the score's 8-7 Arrow? I should've awarded no winner certain weeks), but I was tempted to artificially inflate Arrow's grade for the hilarious sight of seeing Thea driven into a wall.

When did you bail? You missed one of the best network seasons this decade.

Weird to say that when Arrow Season 2 is the best season of the 5 shows by a mile and the only season that can objectively be called *legitimately* good TV.

Saw it for the first time recently and was really let down by it but she was awesome.

The show eventually realized this and did a textbook example of the "Put On A Bus" trope.

Evolution gets way better after a bumpy opening season.

Ha, totally forgot Zeb and Tom are one and the same

Same here but 19 is the real "Denzel OK!" moment. A fantastic episode.

The midseason finale (9) is very good and the 19th is the first one I was blown away by. (I'm a harsh grader FWIW)

This show is actually a great show to review: It has a handful of great moments but mostly problematic elements to critique. There's mediocre shows with nothing to say and mediocre shows that are underachieving,, and those are ripe for actually analyzing

And then they threw in the midseason trailer too.

And the planets are nothing compared to TCW due to the budget gap. This show relies on very minimalist stuff (the planet in this one was mostly just plain blue that looked like story reels)

You know how networks will air a new show out of order to get the good ones first, but the crappy ones get burned off at the end? That's what this felt like. What a horrid episode, only made worse by the weird detour from all the big plotlines that only have a couple episodes left to resolve.
Also: the other droid…

This sounds like that TNT reality show "The Great Escape" except with actual ambition.

This is right where I am on my first watch (have seen the other Treks though). Watched Whispers last night, which was enjoyable if a bit slow since the resolution is faster than say, Voyager's Worst Case Scenario, where chase scenes make for a longer chunk of time after "the reveal." Nothing quite like watching the…

I caught up on Legends of Tomorrow over the last week, and while the episode had issues, I wanted to note how much I really, really liked the trip to Future Star City.
It was awesome to see the chemistry between Caity Lotz and Stephen Amell again, plus the guy who played Connor was a nice bit of casting. It had the…

For a second I thought everyone was gonna pull out taser sticks and have a giant lightsaber fight. I would not have been against this either.

It failed, but "I left because they had you" is one of the most moving lines in recent TV history, so at least we got that.
