They all make their money with this movie on the backend. So will Meryl Streep without having to be in the movie more. Between percentage points on the movie’s gross AND the sales of the soundtrack, they get nice paychecks and residuals. Colin Firth and Christine Baranski did an interview where they talked about that…

Kofi! His early gimmick was not great, but his theme music was mostly incredible and so was his talent. I’m glad New Day not only has given Kofi a vehicle for a bit of a career revival, or redirection at least, but also that they gently mock him for being old and having a fake Jamaican accent back in the day. Cause…

Damn it feels good to be a Yakuza.

So, J’onn is off to wander the Earth again.

Not that it will happen — budgetary concerns for starters — but I wouldn’t have minded a spinoff of “Mon-el and Wynn in the 31st Century”. That’s what I was hoping for at first until I realized that no, there’s no way to pull that off on a CW budget.

Back when they started the Alura/Argo City plotline I said I’d wait till the end to pass judgement, so now that we’re here: man, what a fucking mess. I can tolerate some Silver Age logic in my superhero shows, but this episode ran on pure undiluted nonsense. Worst of all, at several points we had characters just…

I suppose a slate-cleaning episode is the best we could hope for, considering how bad the second half of the season has been. Maybe it was just me, but this ep felt just slightly less sloppy than the others.

Also, what happened to Chad Lowe? Did he just bleed out in the ship? Did his body go back to Argo City with Alura?

Least we still have Jimmy right? right?

It was nice of the show to remember that Kara needed emotional resolution for the season, but it was also kind of weird that it only remembered that about midway through the climax.

Was it just me, or was the Kara/Alex scene at the end really weird and clunky? “Hey, for anybody who skipped the first 55 minutes, this happened and this happened and also this and this and this and this.” And then Kara tops it off with “AND ALL THIS PIZZA WE JUST ATE” like she’s doing improv for the first time.

Boy, did this season just go off the rails and never recover.

“Hey Alex - remember that time you wanted to torture an innocent civilian because you were feeling sad about your breakup with Maggie?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I’ve decided to make you head of the DEO.”
“Really? But I’m barely 30. Shouldn’t a person have a few decades experience before they head up a major government…

- I’m curious, how exactly did Pestilence defeat OG Braniac in the first place?

I don’t know, man. This was grim. It didn’t even feel like they allocated more of the budget like they normally do. There wasn’t anything very exciting here.

The huge wave -> Legion ship -> Saturn Girl showing up was so quick and poorly-introduced. The Legion, in general, felt like an afterthought.

Worse, of course, is…

“Luke Danes as the whiniest, poutiest, worst stick-in-the-mud imaginable, someone who apparently has never left the town he grew up in to enter civilized society.”

Yeah I find the Mitchum thing so frustrating. Lots of people (even clever ones) don’t end up following the career they were originally interested in and lots of people want to follow a career they aren’t suited for. It might have been interesting to explore that instead of having Rory react incredibly badly to the…

My comments in these posts often tread this ground. We’re supposed to believe that Rory is a different kind of rich kid, but she’s really not. That might be why I’m in the 1% that somewhat enjoys the Life and Death Brigade. At least they know they’re rich idiots and they have fun with their money.

Yeah unfortunately Alexis Bledel truly is bad on this show. I feel like she never grasped the role too well. Because like you said, she’s excellent in the Handmaid’s Tale. But she’s grown up and she’s not a very versatile actress. She fits some roles wayyyy better than others. And Handmaid’s was really good for her!…

Even ASP’s description of hiring Alexis Bledel is barely complimentary. “It was just one of those young, beautiful faces. We were trying to find someone new, someone interesting. There was something about her. In person she was very shy and quiet, not this vivacious energy, just very simple and pretty.” Even in Lauren…
