She played Kara/Supergirl in Smallville. Her Supergirl was pretty much the opposite of Benoist's. She was extremely confident and more advanced than Clark/Superman. She could fly and he couldn't. You also saw her bellybutton a lot more.

I know the TV show is its own thing but I don't think it will deviate so much as to make Jay Garrick Zoom . By the end of the arc I expect we will see a fully functional Jay Garrick Flash who will, most likely, pop up from time-to-time in the future. Hunter Zolomon is Zoom and the real Jay is in the iron mask. The…

It's not an issue of Western society it's an issue of plot contrivance common to melodramas. Key information is needlessly withheld and attempts to reveal said information are conveniently interrupted. In a less formulaic show Alex would have immediately said that she had to kill Astra to save J'onn and Kara would…

Would the viewers actually revolt if they just did away with the flashbacks? Don't think so. Oliver keeps having mini voyages of emotional discovery in the flashbacks when the real voyage is supposed to occur across the present-day storyline. He's already been a killer then gone fuzzy-wuzzy and guilt-ridden, just as…

Yeah, it's one thing not to recognize Oliver when in dimly-lit streets or cavernous lairs, but when he's standing 3 feet away in your own well-illuminated living room, that's another story. If nothing else, the identical 3-day growth of facial hair should seal the deal. Only Superman/Supergirl ought to be…

So…how does HIVE function efficiently when you can be killed at any moment by a compatriot no matter how important you are to the organization? I'm assuming the guy in Madrid had a high position since he was on the evil conference call.

Lamest tail ever at the beginning of the episode. This from a supposedly seasoned team? Riding your motorcycle parallel to the car you're following or jumping your bike over the same car and still expecting to be led to Dahrk? What are they gonna do if they find him, considering he can make your head explode with a…

Wasn't Carter Hall blonde in the original comics? I don't think Khufu and Shayera were meant to look exactly the same in each incarnation. I guess they could have used Egyptian-looking actors in the flashback scenes.
I still can't express how annoying it is that they ruined and wasted such an iconic DC character as…

Whoops, I guess I really did fast-forward through that translation pill thing. I just can't take these endless "This is all your fault/this is not your fault, I feel so guilty/you shouldn't feel guilty" conversations.

This is the best episode yet, which isn't saying much. It put off my giving up on this show for one more week. Still……..they go to all of the trouble of giving Ray his suit back and yet, no Atom? Did the SFX budget get used up on the Firestorm-like effects (yet, again, no actual Firestorm)? Plus, can they make Ray…

Mostly agree except that I think Grand Theatre part 2 ranks among their great albums. I like it even better than Satellite Rides, which is still a great record but veered a little further into poppiness than I prefer my Old 97s. Unfortunately the space between Satellite Rides and GT2 produced, for me, mostly…

Yeah, the whole thing of Superman just sitting back and letting a superpowered Kryptonian army run amok and develop a plan for eliminating humanity, all for the sake of giving Kara her own space, is beyond feeble. What larger threat could he possibly be dealing with? Is he just sitting at home watching TV thinking "I…

Really, for all of the talk about which timeline will be used, the destruction of Vulcan is the only significant change. Any series that follows after the events of TNG/DS9/Voyager will be far enough beyond that event that a New Vulcan could be fully established. None of that would negate the existence or general…

I was ambivalent about Voyager. I watched it and liked some episodes but never really connected with the characters. DS9, starting around season 3, was my favorite of the post-classic series. Nothing in any of the other series ever matched the depth of character development or the thrills of the culmination of the…

Yeah, but TV adaptations generally follow what is most traditional and streamlined about a superhero's mythos no matter how twisty the storyline in the comics may have become. That's why, in TV and movies, The Flash is Barry Allen, Batman will always be Bruce Wayne and Spiderman will always be Peter Parker. We're…

By Batman standards it is a smile. You don't think that piece of art was carefully scrutinized and tweaked, including the upturn at the corner of the mouth, to convey that this will be a friendlier Batman? Wonder Woman's grin is about to split her face in half. Nothing wrong with that if they're aiming for a light…

I'm trying hard to like it but it's continuing to be difficult. That a show featuring The Atom and the Hawks should be so listless is a problem. After totally screwing up Hawkman's characterization, they've now just killed him off. Basing the whole concept around Vandal Savage is also a big mistake. He would be good…

I've always loved Ladykillers and never understood the tepid response. It's consistently hilarious and has a great soundtrack. As a pure comedy, like Raising Arizona and O Brother, I find it much easier to rewatch than the more complex (and admittedly great) Barton Fink and Serious Man. J.K. Simmons and Tom Hanks, in…

Good ep. but I've started fast-forwarding through all of Oliver's "this is all my fault" speeches. Usually if I only listen to the last 20 seconds or so of any scene like this I don't miss any information crucial to the plot. This also applies to all of the "importance of family and friends" exchanges from…

Who requested this sequel?
