Wait, so he's suggesting that all black superheroes must know each other?

See, I haven't seen that from Nate, and my main impression of him is that he's just Ray with a bit less self awareness. I too am totally fine with having jerks on the team; in fact, Mick is about my favourite character on the show now. But then, he wasn't for the first half of season 1 - it took until after the…

I'd have said the same with the first few trailers, but I think with the way they've shaped up the marketing they have a decent shot with the general movie-going crowd. I'm sure they will find some people wanting to relive their yesteryear in this way, but I think they have a decent shot of getting more Personally, I…

True, Nate's had a lot of stuff, but I'm still not convinced any of that has defined him. He can banter, he can be nerdy, but has he actually gone through anything since turning into Steel? And even that didn't seem to really test him or his relationship to anyone else. And the fact that his personality is so close to…

I understand that approach, but that's why I think Fred is a good example of how to do it, because she was in 8 episodes before having her first big 'This is who I am' episode, but she wasn't just treated like a standard member of the team in the meantime; she played a small role in each episode that was very…

Angel remains one of my favourite series of all time, because there was so much fantastic character work. It had its faults, sure, but it was incredibly strong in a lot of ways. These just seemed like the best examples I could give for how the DCW shows should be approaching new characters. There will be other good…

Man, the DCW shows really need to get better at bringing in new main characters - you can't just introduce them one episode and then have them just be in the background for the rest of the season. The same problem with Dinah here has hit Nate and Amaya on Legends - both decent enough as characters and with good…

But if neither Fitz nor Simmons is an LMD, then why did the show go to the effort of having them both alone at the same time as well?

I'm with you not seeing it for the first three seasons, but since the last couple of episodes before Christmas I've totally bought it - they've just found this romantic chemistry that makes sense with their history despite it never feeling as prominent until now.

Maybe I've seen too many murder mysteries, but the moving around the base so everyone was alone at some point was a clear sign that one or more of them would be swapped out.

The writers are going to have a hard time keeping track of the dates coming up. We should be at the start of 2020 now, but we might just be at the tail end of 2019 - the only two dated references I recall from recent episodes were about Trump, but one (about treatment of women) could in theory be at any time, though…

Follow up from the future: Dream came true, and it's wonderful.

Wow, I was expecting a much higher grade for this. I thought it was one of the funniest episodes the shows done in… well, ever! The gags came thick and fast and had about a 90-95% hit rate. True that the story(/ies) was a bit rushed, exemplified by the family just driving off and leaving the hot dog owner without a…

I 100% think they should do that - Baldwin's done his time (and done a great job of it), let Rosie take the role for a few months, to really fuck with the guy. That ought to see Don through his impeachment and Baldwin can take it over again when he's back to being only a part time national menace.

It is important to note that Michael Cordero Jr is not a virgin.

I understand your point, in that it's the kind of decision a lazy storyteller would use to try and avoid having to show the consequences, but I genuinely buy that they did it so they could keep things more positive. After both of the previous season finales I thought they'd have to be way more serious in resolving…

I think Julian and Caitlin have pretty good chemistry. More so than Caitlin had with either Robbie or Jay/Zolomon, anyway.

There are always some horrendously cheap (in every sense) kids' DVDs in supermarkets repackaged (and often totally rebranded) to look similar to Disney films in order to trick parents into buying them for their kids. Examples include Tangled Up, The Frog Princess and Braver, all of which were designed to look like…

I loved how Daisy abandoned the plan that hadn't worked in the lab situation in favour of something new in the field.
