And apparently no security cameras in the office, either! Winn actually had to analyze the typing speed and rhythms on Kara's desktop hard drive to determine that it wasn't Kara who sent the e-mail— rather than, say, checking the time-stamp on the e-mail and referencing the security feed in the office for that time.
Can't help but say that I'm a little bit disappointed that Lucy Lane is not only back on the show, but is apparently primed to be a full-time series regular, now that she's leading the D.E.O. Lucy has been a cipher all season long: a pretty face (that looks like it was sculpted in plastic) and a…
Ha-HA! Jeremiah Danvers IS still alive, and working with Project Cadmas! Which points to the very real possibility that the REAL Hank Henshaw is alive at Cadmus, too— and that he's probably using Danvers' expertise on Superman's physiology and the resources of the Project to turn himself into the Cyborg Superman! I…
But even so, I'm just wondering how Lucy was so sure that Alex was lying in the FIRST place. She didn't say anything to back up her claim! She just basically blurted out, "NOPE! Don't believe you, bitch. Cuff her!"
What the hell was going on at the end of Alex's interrogation scene?! She passes the polygraph with flying colors, and Col. Harper— the guy who's in charge of the investigation, mind you— says that she's free to go. Then, out of freaking nowhere and with no explanation, Lucy Lane blurts out, "NO! You're lying, and…
I can't understand how ANYONE could be down on Jessica Jones or Daredevil. Have we all become just so spoiled by the bounty of quality television out there now that anything that's not a complete masterpiece has to be considered inferior?
But that's the thing: Kara wasn't underperforming. She was simply absent too often. Cat knows that Kara is great at her job, and that it would be incredibly difficult to replace her. She only hired Siobhan to a.) create turmoil in Kara's life as recompense for Kara dumping Adam, and b.) to light a fire under Kara's…
Catwoman was made a year after Daredevil, and I think— God help us— that they were emulating the playground scene with that basketball scene. Because obviously it worked so well the first time…
And there are even parts of the movie that are made actively MORE awful in the Director's Cut, like the awful extended voice-over that closes out the movie (and the choice to move the Bullseye-centric mid-credits stinger into the movie proper in an accompanying montage).
The gangs are technically collateral damage in the Punisher's war, but he's not actually directly responsible for them.
I would really like to give Cat Grant that much credit, I really would. But as smart and as resourceful as they've presented her to be, she's still limited by how smart this show is— this very silly, often head-scratchingly stupid show. And while it'd be nice if her actions weren't motivated by simple anger and…
Uhhh… there is really no evidence at all to suggest that. She got a second assistant to light a fire under Kara's ass after Kara dumped her son, remember? Cat wanted to see them competing, not working together. If anything, that would make Kara's job as Supergirl harder, because it would force her to dedicate more…
Wow— a solid Supergirl episode with nary a point of logical inconsistency to nitpick! Man, I've gotten so used to praising the show's cast while ripping apart the show's scripts that it was actually kind of jarring to end an episode without a single "waitaminute…" moment. Well done!
"This show isn't afraid to deal with the consequences of what it sets up."
Dammit! I was gonna point this out, but then as soon as I scroll down to Disqus… BAM! First comment.
Crap— ya' got me. I was running on four hours of sleep when I wrote this, and my mind was already slipping towards my point about "a Spider-Man costume that a teenager could have constructed" when I wrote "practicality"— even though it has very little to do with this point. Oops.
It's not much of an improvement. Still looks like plastic.
I like Wonder Woman. I like Superman. I even dig the weird take on Lex Luthor they're cooking up. But I can not STAND that movie's take on Batman, exactly for that reason. He's easily the movie's most fanciful character— a normal man in his 40s running around in barely any protective gear (as far as I can tell, the…
Well, it just strikes me as ironic that with Captain America himself, there's a cheeky musical number in his first movie dedicated partially to showing just how ridiculous Captain America's costume from the comics was, perfectly translated. Yet with Spider-Man, there isn't even a moment's hesitation to creating a…
