“Glad they didn’t list Calista Flockhart’s name in the guest-starring part in the opening credits. It was a nice surprise.”

Originally Kara had to keep her identity a secret to protect her supporting cast. But pretty much all of them are now superheroes so they can protect themselves, so who is Kara protecting?

I find it baffling that anyone who has watched this series could not have an emotional reaction to the last half hour of the finale.

This show fell into the trap that most stories fall into when dealing with time travel. They assume that if there are 2 different time frames (i.e. Supergirl’s present and the year 3000) then they are both progressing forward at the same rate, so after 1 day has passed in the present, 1 day has passed in the future…

“Didn’t Cat Grant already reveal that she knew Kara was Supergirl back in the Season 2 finale? Is that another Crisis retcon?” She did, but it was after Kara had left the scene, so she revealed that she knew to the audience, but not to Kara or any other character.

Pretty sure that in the book Kojak fights off a wolf(s) to protect Stu. He is definitely left there to protect Stu.  He also brings Stu some firewood so he can make a fire, and he catches some rabbits and brings them to Stu so he can eat them.

Glenn Bateman is exactly the sort of character who would have read all of the Game of Thrones books but never watched the series, and would look down at those who watched the series only and claimed to be GoT experts.

Also worth noting that after Lloyd kills Glenn, he says the same line that his crime-partner, Poke, said after he killed that storekeeper:  “Boy, I sure shot the hell out of that guy, didn’t I?”  He’s directly referencing that moment.

No, this was Lloyd’s partner, Poke. He sneezed (from the superflu, apparently) and the gun went off, killing the storekeeper. Poke laughed at it, and Lloyd was visibly shook - obviously killing someone was not part of his plan.

In the book doesn’t Flagg later publicly say that Bateman died while trying to escape, or when he was trying to sabotage something?  And Lloyd reacts to this, since he was there when Glenn died so he knows this is a lie, building upon his growing distrust in Flagg.

Ray has been such a huge misfire in this adaptation. In the book (and the 90s mini-series) he is a minor character but compared to this adaptation he has so much more presence than “Ray” here. She seems so out of place as part of the “final four” to go to Vegas.

TCM shows up in episode 7 (?) and his entire back story is reduced to about 30 seconds of voices he hears in his head. They include the key lines from the book (about old lady Semple’s welfare check) but they’re barely audible. If you hadn’t read the book, even if you could make them out, you wouldn’t have any idea…

The Shining is a great book but if you read it first and then watch the movie it’s a terrible adaptation. I understand a lot of the book is Jack’s inner monologue, but there are ways you can portray that in a film. But Kubrick decided that he didn’t care about any of that and just completely ignored it.

A fun running gag through reading these Star Wars TV reviews here is reading LaurenceQ’s comments where they shout into the wind about how every episode/series is awful and everyone should listen to them.

“Fathom played the film in the wrong aspect ratio, 1.85:1, instead of the original’s 2.35:1 aspect ratio, cutting a third of the picture.”

“It was also curious how Mando so instantly decided to fall in with Boba and Fennec (free of charge no less) at the end. Maybe with time to think about it he suspects the Mandalorians’ betrayal, and knows he has to line up allies of his own.”

I’m always surprised by someone going to a website like AVClub.com before they watch a new episode of a show, knowing that there will be a review there with a potentially spoiler-ish headline and/or photo, and they will always complain that it’s the website’s fault instead of their own when they could have easily…

He seems determined to convince everyone that he was right when during Mandalorian S01 he was one of the only commenters here for every episode saying “This episode sucks. This show sucks. It’s awful and you should all agree with me.”

I’m always amazed at someone who goes to the AVClub website (or any website with TV reviews) before watching a new episode and looks at review titles/photos, and then is mad at the website for them being spoiled. Why in the world would you go to the website when you know there will be a review there before you watch…
