Ryan is a frustrated computer genius at Mutiny.

The media should just accept the fact a gender reversal of a classic brand simply did not click with the moviegoers. It angered the purists and anti SJW crowd in the domestic market and probably confused the international audience.

The show may continue to lose viewers if it doesn't go easy on the preachy political messaging (they could try to explore multiple sides of a complex issue). If this episode ran after the bombing at Brossels, the on the nose "alien refugees are one of us" sentiments would have went over like a lead balloon.

Er, what was so great about this episode? It was a standard "hero goes for a bad" trope and Kara's transformation was none too different from symbiote stricken Peter Parker in Spiderman 3. I would say the Martian reveal episode was better.

Maxwell Lord was detained at a secret underground location ran by a covert organization not known to the public. No conventional legal counsel would be allowed to visit / represent him and given his activity, there was no way he could be tried at a civilian court.

I can't help but feel that the show doesn't know what it wants to be. By now, there should be a (compelling) antagonist or an overall objective that brings everything into focus. The first season of the Flash was about Barry finding the person who framed his dad for murder. That underlying mission tied the first…

How are we supposed to FEEL anything for Bizarro girl, when the show doesn't invest any time in developing the character? She has no voice, no backstory, no past, etc. The show jumped straight into a new arc / revelation with no setup whatsoever. And Bizarro is iconic enough that she shouldn't be treated as a "villain…

The male superheroes cancel the date, and then the female love interest whines about how he doesn't take the relationship seriously or accuses him of keeping secrets.

Was there subtlety in Hank's storyline, though?

CBS SG is really a Power Rangers show for adults. Why are the Rangers fighting the monster? Because Rita sent them, and she does for every episode. Who is Rita, what are her plans for the earth, why won't the Rangers just raid her home planet. etc? No one knows, and the kids just rode with the formula.

While "angry woman" stereotype is certainly out there, men (usually) don't get off any easier for blowing up, especially in the age of social media and TMZ.

I really want to see this Superman who beats up "bad guys" to submission upon arrival without making any effort to engage in a dialogue. Where?

Why would anyone become "frustrated" at seeing Superman swooping into save his cousin (Imagine the ratings if Carville made a guest appearance)? She was getting pounded and was not yet equipped with episode resolving tips from the DEO.

"Stronger Together" is really a justification for the Berlanti ensemble cast formula. Arrow as team arrow, Flash has star labs (Winn and Alex is basically Cisco and Joe, respectively), and now Supergirl has the DEO. I know the DEO is from the comics, but they weren't actively involved with Superman (?).

"He's also a fan of taking food, shelter and health care away from poor people."

That wasn't "Jenny Olsen". She was a minor standalone character.

That' real clever man! Except….. many of the industries and academia accused of gender discrimination or enabling it are ran by white male progressives.

This show is representative of "serious" dramas that pop up at AMC. The story line depressing and dreary without redemption, and the protagonists are cold and distant. It has its moments and appear to build up to something more important, but it never comes to that. It's grind to watch.

It's not happening.
