Not to mention that dumb "we're not the good guys anymore!" line. If that's supposed to be taken at face-value it basically affirms the writers have no bloody clue what Light's character is supposed to be about, let alone the story as a whole.

My only real complaint is that there was a bit of narrative clunkiness in having the team go so hard on Mick, essentially "forcing" his turn to the Legion, especially when it's not like the others don't fuck up on the regular too (also, Stein what the fuck. Weren't you the one going all "oh he's a hallucination blah…

But that was the only relevant material lmao. You could've trimmed yesterday's episode to Mon-el's prince reveal, Mon-el's rejection of his parents, maybe include the Winn/Lyra stuff (I heard it comes back into play in a James/Winn/Lyra plot later in the season) and the show would be pretty much in the same place as…

Probably a good thing to rely on Hatcher instead of Sorbo to bring the acting heat lmao.

I try not to watch previews lol

They actually seemed surprisingly civil despite being called the season's Big Bads by the showrunners in an earlier interview. If Mon-el's rejection of them turns out to be the big trigger that leads them to declare war on Earth I'm gonna laugh.

This. That line he says to his parents, where he literally says something along the lines of "even if I'm not with her, being near her makes me want to be a better person" made me go WTF because what in the world does that even mean??? So if you're not near her, you're incapable of wanting to be a better person??

I don't really get what the show is doing with Mon-el's hero storyline. They want to set him up for this grand redemption arc, make him out to be a big hero and they have the perfect vehicle for that right here: let him realize that lying to everyone about who he was is the wrong way to go about escaping/becoming…

In all fairness, it could also be the fact that he lied that she can't overcome. Mon-el lied to her about something as fundamental as his identity, and consistently lied about it up until the very last moment he got caught, even after they got into a relationship.

Definitely not on the same level as a Barry/Oliver fuckup, but her relationship with Mon-el has made me very uncomfortable. Around each other they're both insecure, awful cucks who lash out at each other with whatever they can the moment they feel vulnerable and are basically pretty unhealthy partners, but it's only…

OP refers specifically to "endgame" couples in his post and it's fairly clear at this point neither Skyeward nor Daisy/Lincoln qualify. My post was mainly in reference to FitzSimmons, who seems to be the only obvious/overt endgame couple the show has, and who've, contrary to OP's post, functioned quite well together…

No, this is a perfect example of a show with shitty writing when it comes to couples. Jane the Virgin, Agents of Shield, Fringe and more than half a dozen other shows manage it just fine.

At least when Oliver fucks up, the show makes it a point to really (sometimes overly) punish him for fucking up. With Barry and Kara they make the stupidest fucking decisions ever and the show still lauds them for sainthood

Watchoo talking about?? Earth-2 lives don't matter, remember!!

I'm not against that, honestly. I have no idea when it happened, but somewhere along the line Barry became the most thoroughly dislikable character in the Berlantiverse for me, so sending him off into the Speed Force, hopefully to grow a brain, and letting Wally take over is acceptable IMO.

Why not actually let Barry become Savitar, then have Wally be the one forced to defeat him? Gets rid of our deadweight villain (Barry), the main villain (Savitar) and sets up a new hero for the show all at one go.

Does anyone else remember that Supers aren't supposed to be able to breathe in space in this incarnation?

I'm increasingly bothered by how the show continues to sweep Kara's (fairly shitty) behaviour under the table. She's generally awful to Mon-el; she apologised once early on for being racist/Daxamist/whatever, then proceeded to judge him for being a Daxamite and call him a shitty person over multiple episodes anyway…

I feel like they're trying for one of those bicker-flirting relationships with belligerent sexual tension (sort of like Ron and Hermione in HP?) The problem is that those couples only work when (1) the partners know there are lines not to cross, and (2) the show acknowledges when lines are crossed and one partner…

I don't understand why anyone enjoys this Kara/Mon-el romance anymore. They pretty much take every opportunity to rip into each other in this episode; Mon-el is insulting and condescending and makes it a point to regularly ignore and act contrary to things Kara explicitly says, while Kara is just as condescending and…
