Oh dear god no. Chris Wood is a fine actor. But please no.

I didn't think about that. You would think that if Winn was checking, he would be able to tell when Daxam got destroyed.

Mon-El: I tried to tell you so many times. I really did.

I actually think the show has gotten worse. I think some aspects of the show have gotten better (Alex and Winn) but I probably set myself up for disappointment in thinking that the show would follow through on covering Supergirl's growth as a reporter, James' growth into a leader, the Alien Amnesty Act and anything…

I agree. But I think its part of the writers game plan. How do you make Mon El seem not so bad? Trivialize the multiple times that he disrespects her plainly stated wishes as comedy and then only make her break up with him because of one lie told when his past life didn't look like it mattered anymore. That way,…

I disliked this movie. I'm not revealing plot specifics but I'll spoiler tag my thoughts just in case. I thought it would be an interesting take on Freaky Friday but really, it was that and another conceit, neither of which the film bothered to fully explore. Fuzzy mechanics, 2 dimensional characters, a side…

On the one hand, Alex Danvers straight up tortures a prisoner. On the other hand, Chyler Leigh looks so attractive punching dirtbags. This is why this is my turn my brain off show.

I dunno. James and Kara had some good scenes together in the first season about the repressed anger that they weren't usually allowed to show. And there's always room for a "normal" person on a superhero show to reflect on the morality of the people taking actions supposedly in their name. So the debate over what…

Oh dear, I was hoping they would zig when I expect them to zag. Mon El withholding a secret about his parentage is such a cliche story beat. Especially if he's withholding it from a girl whose own dad created a genocide bomb.

So they're constantly teasing us about Mon El being the prince of Daxam and I guess his parents must still be alive, awful, and searching for him. Apparently having awful parents may reflect badly on Mon El, more so than any of his actual behavior. So, does Daxam still exist and will the newly grown up Mon El have to…

I hated the argument scene in the DEO last week. It was about him rejecting her judgement, telling her that he believes she's so shallow that she would be interested in a guy who shows up out of the blue who gives her flowers and a dress, and then rejecting her moral against killing. The part about the flowers and the…

Likewise Dean Cain's endorsement of Donald Trump.

Maybe it works like contract law. :)

Fair enough. I watched that part again and I did miss it.

I always enjoy when Mxyzptlk shows up. He forces writers to come up with creative, non-punching based solutions. His appearances in the animated series were always a highlight and this iteration of handsome Peter Gadiot being forcefully rejected by Kara is a welcome addition to a canon that includes this: https://www.y…

Voter ID laws have been shown to reduce voting by minority groups. This is a description of a study done with data from 2006-2014. "In general elections in non-strict states, for instance, the gap between white and Latino turnout is on average 4.9 points. But in states with strict ID laws, that gap grows to a…

She only starts having flash forwards after seeing the written language for the first time. So when she's morose at the beginning of the movie, it is an intentional trick on the audience but I don't see why she can't just be a depressed or uninterested person before the events of the movie.

I don't think the tension lies in whether the aliens will kill us. The tension lies in whether China potentially screws up the future by firing the first shot. The movie plays with the idea that the future might be changed by our choices when it poses the central question of whether you would change your life if you…

At least Matthew McConaughey doesn't narrate for like 20 minutes through the ending.

I weep for Mehcad Brooks because I actually like his acting but they kept shoehorning him into a romance triangle that nobody wanted and then a poorly justified superhero arc that nobody wanted. At this point, it may be too difficult to salvage the character.
