I haven't exactly obsessively dug into the credits or anything, but a good chunk of the show has been written by people who've never worked on a superhero-related property before. That's probably a big factor.

Winn is the one flaw in an episode of Supergirl that does everything so right that it baffles me how this can be the same production team that's made the show up to this point.

Well, Nick doesn't automatically go all menacing either. Though she would have noticed then. That's my bad.

Well, given that he's got ties to both the Resistance and whatever weird group that Chavez was working with, I think we're finally about to see some stuff drop into place with all of it.

"that one baby was a potato and the other baby just looked wrong"

I'm just thrilled that we might start getting more information on Meisner's whole deal. I mean, we've gotten bits and pieces about his past, but is he human? A Wesen who's never voged on-screen? Maybe another Grimm? (I'd have to go back and check to see if he's ever been made eye contact voged Wesen who isn't either

Yes. Which means he's being paid well for basically saying shit about it.

In theory, it could be both. But expressing both at once is a little trickier than Marvel editorial seems to be capable of.

Just a couple of months ago, a friend and I finally sat down to watch Babylon 5 for the first time. I'd seen bits and pieces of seasons 2 and 3 while it was first airing when I was in high school, catching it on some channel at night when I couldn't sleep.

Just out of curiosity, for those of you enjoying this, is it worth sitting through what sounds like a 90% dreadful first season to get to the apparently-much-better second? Or should someone curious about the show track down a "Previously on…" montage and just jump right in at season 2?

A company with a history of fumbling past crowdfunding efforts, combined with a mysterious secret investor and a new crowdfunding platform nobody knows anything about yet? Well sign me up.

I'm of the opinion that there are basically two trains of thought regarding Magneto. On the one hand, you've got people who really like that occasionally there's a 'for the greater good' angle for him and that sometimes makes him in some ways ambiguous bordering on anti-heroics. And then there's people who think that

Technically, the speed they clock the zombie at on the treadmill is a normal human speed, until they give it the Super Max. So these are already technically 'fast' zombies.

Honestly, it feels like he's playing a shitty ripoff of the Sam Rockwell version of Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2.

Y'know, when Red Tornado shows up with the missing arm repaired and not a single person on the show immediately said anything to the effect of "Wait, maybe it's been repaired by — and therefore under the control of — the pissed-off scientist that General Lane fired," I came very close to just deciding I was done with

On a note unrelated to either film, mind if I swipe the phrase "dumpster fire of unearned sentimentality" for future use?

Well, Colossus' sacrifice to cure the Legacy Virus was kind of a big moment, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that. And while I'm only slightly annoyed at the resurrection at all, it's a matter of the how (aliens captured his body and brought him back and let everyone else think he was dead because reasons) and

I'm pretty sure the CW and CBS have been in talks about a Supergirl-ArrowFlashverse crossover for a while, and CBS has always been pretty firmly on "Nah, we're good, thanks."

Honestly, I think Jonny Lee Miller deserves an Emmy just for how he delivered that line about the song.

Honestly, you can count me among the folks who absolutely loved Grant Morrison's run on X-Men and table-flipped after "Oh, by the way, that wasn't Magneto after all. It was some guy. Who looks like Magneto. And had Magneto's powers. Not at all Magneto finally reaching his logical conclusion and becoming the thing he's
