I’m not opposed to portraying familial bonds, like cousins, in superhero media. But I do dislike the trope of making established characters related where they weren’t before. I think it makes shared universes feel smaller (*cough* Star Wars *cough*). In particular, the idea that Bruce Wayne had a previously…

The only other thing I’ve knowingly seen Jane Carr in is Timov in Babylon 5. I find it surprising that I find her more intimidating 20 years later as a freaking Fairy Godmother.

I loved it, part 2.

I dunno, I think having the Stretchy Man carry an ep could be interesting.

- Cat Zari is so cute.
- Yeah, Charlie not caring about Zari so long as she gets what she wants is what I’ve been talking about.
- That Custodians of the Chronology intro. So retrowave.
- Emo Ava...and that gun of hers. That thing is WAAAAAAY more than a 12-gauge.
- Gary took out Mick.
- And now the Sirens of Space-Time.…

I think the Custodians of the Chronology opening was less of a riff on Guardians of the Galaxy and more on 80s action shows like The A-Team. I love fake credit sequences though, so this episode ruled.

No disrespect to the actor playing him(as its easy to do badly and hard to do right), but the Leprechauns accent was baaaad., so I’d have shot him too.

I was pretty underwhelmed with everything Batwoman related, but I wasn’t expecting much from it anyway. I did like that the Monitor’s reaction to the the Doctor dude only changing reality by swapping Barry & Ollie was “That’s it? That’s all you did? You idiot.”

“It feels like the messy first draft of a really compelling episode, which is how I would characterize pretty much every Chris Chibnall-penned episode of the season”

At its best, this season’s slower stride has led to thoughtful character work, complex thematic material, and some appreciable weirdness.

Stolen planets and a massive space weapon? Wasn’t that the finale of series 4?

There was just waaaaay too much going on in this episode. The story material they had going could’ve filled out three episodes, and all been better served because it would’ve had more breathing room. I also really felt the lack of compelling character moments because of the breakneck speed at which the show was…

it’s very telling when the fan theories were a billion times better than the actual episode....

This series have been a complete disaster, and only the goodwill of having the first woman as a Doctor (Jodie has been fantastic, btw) has avoided a bigger backlash. But, except for the Punjab episode, the scripts have been terrible: horrendous pacing, stupid monsters and no continuity. Put the worst RTD episodes…

As much as I appreciate the character work this season, I feel like this year doesn’t really measure up to most of the previous seasons. Maybe it’s just a personal disconnect, but I feel the show is missing the wit, and sense of scale it had before. A lot of episodes this year have all felt very similar in tone.
I…

Well, I’m not going to say I’m disappointed, because I was expecting a dull, meandering episode of Doctor Who flooded with exposition and saddled with a weak villain.....which is exactly what we got. Overall, this season just didn’t do it for me. Jodie’s a great actress, but the fact that she’s written so passively…

Yeah this was kind of disappointing. Maybe it’s because there was no actual story arc for this season leading up to this point, maybe it’s because Teeth Man kind of sucks as a villain but yeah, this sucked.

Interesting possibility: Cicada discovers Wells/Thawn and gets put in a position where he targets Thawne BEFORE Thawne killed Nora.

Part of Thawne’s whole deal is that he’s basically unkillable.

He comes back for like no reason all the damn time. And I love it.

I got a good chuckle over Eobard and Cisco’s failed attempt at high fiving, shaking hands or fist bumping.
