Doug Judy episodes are with the heist episodes as just seeming to take place in a reality with slightly different rules. You aren’t meant to think about Doug Judy in the same ways. Granted, that does make things feel weirder with this double-episode season structure, where one of those ‘magical realism’ episodes runs…

The quick 1-2 punch of the dirty cop’s name being David Duke, and it turning out that he literally changed his name to David Duke, was pretty great.

I also get that the show & this week’s director framed the kids to look like they were a bunch of kids going trick-or-treating. It’s an aesthetic between showing the team looking as though they’re in way over their heads, the retro look, & the fact that they’re all still newbies v.s. normal superhero show costume…

it’s good as long as they aren’t running Kara-pines-for-taken-dude for the third time! I did like the baking contest meetcute story he told about her, though.

This episode pair is a great example of just how tough this season of B99 has it in terms of covering everything it wants to. And how it mostly manages to get there, in fact.

If Ru brings her back again to be in the top five after that, I will be livid.

I thought it should have been Jonathan. The twin bond should have been what they counted on to get through to him. We’ve certainly seen more of their bond this season than either boy’s bond with Lois.

Yeah, I thought Peter Quill ending up mopping floors of a rural Missouri DQ was just about right.

When I realized that T’Challa was just making everything better I definitely muttered something about Quill being a worthless brat. Maybe not fair to someone who just lost his mom, but whatever.

I think he’s talking about Agent Carter, not last week’s episode. I don’t recall that characterization at all being the case though.

This one is an A in my book. I really loved the conceit that T’Challa would reform the Ravagers and the effects that would spiral out from that. Thanos and Korath were great fun in their new roles. I do wonder what happened with Ronan, and if they’re going to be making a conscious effort to avoid the Infinity Stones…

I think the most important news is that Feige confirmed that Boseman did much more voice work during the What If session and that Coogler is incorporating it into Black Panther 2. They were very clever to stress they wouldn’t recast or recreate Boseman with CGI- looks like they don’t need to because some aspect of him…

Well, the fact that T’Challa just by some conversation can completely change Thanos into someone who not only hangs out with him and stops murdering people plus now has a non-abusive relationship with Nebula just makes Peter Quill look even more useless in the original timeline in comparison (yes all that had to…

I don’t know how much retconning and rejigging DC have done, but originally, Alan Scott’s GL was entirely unrelated to the Green Lantern Corps (which is where the oath comes from, and which I assume will be the source of Diggle’s ring).

While you can definitely see the reduction in budget (Season 2 has 1/10th the background extras Season 1 did)

- Dunno if there’s a press release that says differently or the dude writing them wasn’t given a cast list, but the closed captioning had Alan Scott’s daughter’s name as Jennie, not Jenny.

I watched both episodes before reading your reviews. The amount of time and considerable thought you put into a show others would consider to be a “simple sit-com” is admirable; this is one of those shows with episodes I can watch more than once but you fill in with such a keen eye and copious observations I feel like…

I know it’s dicey territory. I know a show like this is woefully outmatched in trying to address wholesale the issues at hand. I know that it runs the risk of Very Special Episode territory.

yup, read it the same way too. Seemed pretty obvious so I was confused when I read it here
