Part of it is that all of these shows basically come from the same small group of people. So the same flaws permeate their way into a lot of different shows.

I’m not saying Kara’s off the hook in that department, just that Lena’s being hypocritical.

Goin’ back in time, screwin’ up history. Like father, like daughter.

I don’t really feel either of them have a strong leg to stand on. Kara hasn’t revealed her secret identity to Lena because the writers don’t want Kara to reveal her secret identity to Lena. As far as the show is concerned, Kara Danvers has basically ceased to be a full-fledged human being anyway. She’s forgotten about…

How is it that a show that so deftly captures the beauty in a moment of innocent joy between a traumatized young girl and an old man facing the horrors of senility allows itself to get bogged down with So. Much. Monologing. the rest of the hour?

Of all the shows I watch, this is the absolutely worst at telling rather…

Harry’s intelligence loss is supposed to be fully reversible, at least in theory. But yeah, a lot of the humor has fallen flat this season.

Totally agree about the show downplaying her double life. The scene at the end with Lena and Kara in the elevator reminded me how much I miss the first season’s adroit balancing of Kara Danvers (single young professional) and Supergirl (iconic superhero in the making). She’s basically Supergirl full time now, but her…

The first couple seasons with Skaikru and the grounders had things to say about colonialism.

It’s never not delightful when Murphy is uncharacteristically selfless, and it immediately bites him in the ass.

I love me some “iZombie”, but if I had pick between this show and that one, this one will win every time.

Not only does she have the safety of playing a past version of a character alive in the present, said character is: stronger than a hundred men, virtually invulnerable, faster than a speeding bullet, able to shoot lasers out of her eyes.

I did love a soaking wet Clive breathlessly describing more or less verbatim the beats of an action sequence from a “Lethal Weapon” episode, only for Ravi to completely take the piss out of him.

Except she was creepy after meeting Caitlin and (I believe) Harry at Jitters, too.

“Affecting”, not “effecting”.

But yes, I thought this was the perfect ending for Jaha. The character really went off the rails with the A.L.I.E. storyline, arguably the weakest one the show has had yet, but this really brought him back around to the pragmatic leader from the first season — the man who sent his own son…

I still hope they have a satisfactory explanation for why the mysterious young woman is starstruck nervous/cute-awkward around our characters but then calm and dispassionate once she’s out of their sight. If nothing comes of the seemingly sinister vibe she’s giving off in those final beats, it’s going to feel like a…

The Black Siren subplot is finally (mostly) working for me, now that her motivations are clear. The whole “Now she’s bad! Now she’s good! Now she’s bad again!” thing got extremely tiresome.

He did land a punch that solidly rang Diaz’s bell though. Oliver’s whole subplot was great, a reminder of what this show was once capable of.

What she did to her mother’s boyfriend was awful, but by the time we get to that point in the episode you completely understand why she did what she did. This is someone who has gone her entire life without physical contact. That in and of itself is incredibly traumatizing. And then she’s a hormonal teenager with…

She went off and married a fantasy sports obsessive.

I’m just saying that Baldwin’s Trump wouldn’t have had the staying power he’s had if Trump had the ability to laugh at himself. The fact that something so trivial infuriates him so much is why SNL continues to do it.
