I'm wondering if they're setting up either The Great Jimmy Olsen Heel Turn, or planning on having him be the first major character death on the show. Is it wrong of me to hope for both?

That was a fine, fine episode - gave me absolutely everything I want from Supergirl. Only one pedant note: Who the heck eats a donut by picking off itsy bitsy pieces with your fingers? Last week, cupcake with knife and fork, this week weird donuts. It'd take these people a month to eat one of those three patty Big…

Someone slide a magazine under the door, I'm having a massive plot dump. Awful episode, and I actually really like Supergirl (which is why I'm commenting). From "I feel really awful about rejecting Mon-El, let's have cupcakes!!!" in about 0.0001 seconds, through to a clutter of Doctor Who and Star Trek tropes, to…

Two quick thoughts:
1) I keep expecting Betty to turn into Supergirl. (This is not a bad thing, but she totally has Melissa Benoist's Kara Danvers quirky energy)
2) Screewriters making the writer character the moral compass of a show? Who'd a thunk it!?!?

Hard to believe but delighted to say - all 4 Arrowverse shows this week showed marked signs of improvement. None are truly great yet (we really do hand out A scores much too easily) yet there's definitely more consistent tone and less tear-my-eyes-out-please plot holes. Good!

PRODUCER: "So, do we know where we're going with this J'onn is a White Martian thing?"
WRITER: "Well, we're thinking we can arc it over multiple episodes, really focus down on what a hybrid J'onn would be like, carrying aspects of both green and white -"
PRODUCER: "Sounds complex."
WRITER: "Well, um, yeah."
PRODUCER: "Our…

Can we get some sympathy for Dorothy here? If these were real people, I know Jimmy and Gretchen will come out of anything fine, Lindsay will end up with another Paul and Paul with a better Lindsay he can fuss over. Edgar gets self-esteem, but Dorothy? I want to give her a hug.

So glad for this episode. It removed the glower from my face that I'd had since watching the previous night's Supergirl. The only nit I'd pick here is the scene where Barry decides that being trapped in a mirror is just a perfectly ace time to discuss relationship issues with Iris. That brought up some bad Olicity…

So who passed out the stupid pills in
the writers' room? That was an unbelievably bad episode, one that has
me right on the edge of swearing off Supergirl permanently because I
can't stand sloppy. Want a list? Have a list:

That was one of the best-written Arrow-verse episodes in at least a
year. One hilarious directorial Oops though - "Hey, an oil tanker's
about to land on the hospital. Where should we go?" "Let's all stand in
the lobby!" "Yay!" Huh? Then, once the tanker is disposed of? "Let's
all run out to the parking lot now!" I…

So Kara is Mary Richards and Snapper is Lou Grant. Too bad Winn moved to
the DEO. He'd be a great Murray Slaughter. And Alex now is Rhoda.

Much much better … granted, the invitation you should always turn down is anything that involves Oliver, a podium and an announcement of any kind (they're like contract signings in WWE) but on the whole the cliches were eased back. One thing though, so Quentin Lance is going to work on recovery, right? Great, so let's…

B? You're kidding right? This is the first truly fleshed-out, textured episode of The Flash that I've seen. And btw - baby John Diggle is quite important, see: Connor Hawke.

I just so hate the Berlanti writing staff. They get the characters
right, and the fun stuff right, but do they have to hot shot everything?
Jimmy: "You've changed." Kara: "Yeah I have. Let's be friends." "Jimmy:
"Forever." Who? What? Huh? Why? And then there's all this damn
exposition dialogue. Alex: "You're doing…

Now now, he's still WAY more accurate than Random Dudes With Machine Guns.

Yes, in fifty words or so you put more thought into this than the writing team did. Good job!

Totally agree with one point - No more flashbacks! It's like accidentally butt-changing the remote to some other show three or four times an hour. It's not even so much that the fb's are anti-suspenseful (we kinda know nothing life-damaging is going to happen to Oliver); rather they carve 10 minutes/25% out of the…

This was the first really great episode. Nice how a lot of the - shall we say - strange decision-making of the first 14 can now be written off as the Time Masters manipulation. Now not only the crew, but the show itself is re-set. (And I don't believe for a moment that Leonard Snart is gone permanently. No way the…

Yeah the creative team really isn't great at asking itself questions like, "Okay, if lunatics are launching missiles at the US, what would actually happen?" I don't think that answer is ' a hacker, her Dad and two guys in Hallowe'en costumes.' If a storyline doesn't fit Arrow…find a different Storyline!

"Skim or whole milk?" Yeah, we badly needed that moment. "Biscotti?"
