“Because it matters if any of those execs actually called Cyborg an “angry black man” or if that’s something Fisher or his source read into the conversation.”

This show lost me a few episodes away from the end; I could neither get into the whole Nyxly arc nor warm to Kelly, no matter how hard the show tried to force me to believe that Kelly is the most bestest fantastickest wonderfullest character ever. All the good parts of the show took a back seat to the main plot and…

I thought perhaps the lack of clear resolution was the point: Tony was never safe, he could be offed at any time from any direction. That was what his life had been reduced to, sort of living on the edge of death, never knowing when he’d stumble in.

Still having trouble appreciating the saccharine antics of Alex and Kelly. Here’s why their efforts with Esme fell flat with me: I was a kid who didn’t feel exactly “secure” growing up, and if adults came to me all smiles and big promises, I wouldn’t believe a word of it. Alex and Kelly seem to think children are…

I’m complaining about this show being just very blah and unmotivating, which I guess obligates me to offer some suggestions. Okay, we’re reaching the end of the series, so some themes to cover:

Increasingly, this show feels like a bunch of stuff that happened, and that’s it. I feel like the show is divided into two parts: a bunch of people stopping the bad guy because the bad guy is bad, and then there will be insufferable Alex / Kelly moments intended to showcase what magnificent people they are and what a…

If they do a season without Jessica Walter, there’s really only one way it can work IMHO: if the season is about Archer growing up. But even that is fraught with peril, since I’m not sure how many people want to see the adventures of a man-child learning to be less of a man-child. It can be done, but it would take…

Jethro Tull trivia! Jethro Tull was actually the man who invented the horse-drawn seed drill in 1701. How this relates to music: when Ian Anderson was first starting his band in the 1960s, they were pretty terrible, so they couldn’t get booked twice at the same venue unless they changed their name often, and they…

Still can’t stand new Guardian. The show tries to shove it down our throats that Kelly is awesome and we have to accept it; it’s just not working for me.

“Cancerverse”? The one that Mar-Vell relocated himself to at the end of “What If’ #14? Yeah, that’s a deep cut ...

I’ve faithfully watched every episode of “Supergirl”, I’ve gotten through the odd cringeworthy scene, but this episode had shoveled so much slop shortly past the halfway point that I had to shut it off.

I’m happy any week we don’t get to see Kelly. The show has been bending over backwards to tell us how wonderful she is, but I’d really like to have come to that conclusion myself.

I don’t get the ratings around here; the fact that this episode tried to get into the characters’ emotional lives was refreshing and overdue, and for that alone it ortta rate a “B” at a minimum. As a nearly subtle thing, I like that we see Archer’s nerdy side expressing itself openly; we know he’s got a command of…

I don’t understand the reviews sometimes, because this was one of the best “Supergirl” episodes I’ve seen in a while. Its virtues:

Yeah, I do appreciate when they have the sucker show at least some wariness.

Ugh, I am so done with Kelly. I feel like the writers have gone into full Mary Sue mode with her, where the story is in service to showing how wonderful she is rather than Kelly being in service to the story. And yet, I haven’t seen a single thing about her that makes me think she is the most empathetickest…

I feel like maybe the Ironses are going to stick around Smallville. The way they had Natalie say “mom?” makes me feel like they’ll want to capitalize on a Lois / Natalie relationship: basically, why put that in there if not to use it?

I lost interest a few episodes into the first batch of “Stargirl” episodes. My main gripe was that it felt really Mary Sue-ish: the writing felt like it was in service to Courtney, rather than Courtney being the main character and protagonist.

A Sarah and a Tegan? Clearly everyone’s talking about “Doctor Who”, right? That’s the only way I can process it.

Anyone else remember the first season episode of “Community” where the study group took over the cafeteria’s distribution of chicken fingers? That’s kind of what this episode was, but not as well done (IMHO). I think that’s what bothered me the most about this episode: I’d seen Harmon do it better.
