I mean the answer to this question is because they’re kids in a highly stressful situation where they are both crunched for time and scared that one of those temple guards will pop out of nowhere to grab them.

I want to see it go the other way. I want to see some adult game shows retooled to feature small children. Like The Weakest Link. I bet Ann Robinson could really make a seven-year-old break down weeping.

That’s a great point, I loved Not-Laurel and Charlie but was was less into their earlier iterations. (Amaya was still good, just not Charlie-level good.)

I heard the actress for Zari 1.0 doesn’t get along with the actress for Nu-Zari. 

I see a season long arc here with Gideon slowly Hal 9000'ing the crew. An issue to be fixed by....techwizard Zari 1.0!!!! 

My dumbass brain when Zari 1.0 showed up: “Oh, it’s nice that the actress came back for such a short scene!” Don’t worry, I had the same problem with Orphan Black.

Running the Fate protocol for months and then being back on the ship without Behrad having run diagnostics might have something to do with that. 

This one grossed me out more than anything.. Great time to have a meat platter in front of you. Once Constantine made that guy sick and the stuff was just dripping down on him I was done.

A fun episode. Jes Macallan as Ava is so much the heart of the show now & is totally up to it. She is welcoming Spooner onto the team that she once was so hostile to.

If we’re talking influences, the plot (at least for the first two thirds) feels a lot like the Teen Titans episode Employee of the Month, which was also about a fast food restaurant becoming a craze for a menu item that turns out to be an alien product.

Also, Behrad’s ding ding eyebrow raise was a wonderful bit

I loved the Kara and Alex scene in the car. Not just because, I was ready to swear it was Chyler Leigh talking when I looked away from the screen. But more because the talk was so real. I think everyone who left home for college has the experience of finding their own identity while they’re gone and the friction from…

We’ll learn more in a few weeks at their upfront presentation. 

My usual random thoughts:

The only reason Supergirl debuted when it did this season was because they had to shut down production of Superman and Lois due to a covid outbreak on set.

Wait wait, after next week Supergirl is breaking until FREAKING AUGSUST?!  Why do networks keep doing this?  Stop breaking up seasons with months long gaps ffs!  Why even start a new season if you plan on taking a 3 month break in the middle?  They did this a couple seasons ago with Legends of Tomorrow, and I hated it…

Pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t a fan at all of the Bad Batch stuff in season 7, it gave me tremendous concern for the final season the they were starting it out introducing their version of teenage mutant ninja turtles doing looney tunes level combat. Thankfully after that little backdoor pilot of an arc these guys…

Izabela Vidovic plays young Kara, and Olivia Nikkanen is young Alex.

Making Crosshair the antagonist from jump was fucking brilliant.

At most, you might want to check out the first episodes of Clone Wars’ final season where the Bad Batch first appears. The first episode also has a cameo from one of Rebels’ main characters, but it’s unclear if he’ll be recurring or it was just a one-off treat for the fans.
