I read my son The Lion the With and the Wardrobe, which he loved, but we got halfway through Prince Caspian and he got sick of keeping track of the ancillary characters while the characters from the first book sat around listening to a story. 

There’s a reason the first one is the most famous - the other Narnia books are very hit and miss. 

I’d imagine it’s also a bit harder to maintain a consistent plotline throughout a Narnia film series, as IIRC they sort of bounce around in order a bit and at times follow different main characters rather than being a Harry Potter kind of thing where you have a main character and recurring supporting cast developing a

I think the Narnia movies were more of an attempt to cash in on Lord of the Rings than Potter. The problem with doing a Narnia series, from a commercial perspective, is that the first book is about ten times more famous than the others.

Potter is one of my major pop culture blindspots. More of a Henry Screamer guy I guess. It honestly didn’t occur to me at the time that Eragon, for example, was a Potter cash-in. Percy Jackson was hard to miss though.

I think once Willa Holland and Colton Haynes bailed on Arrow & the remaining cast actually wanted to be there (well except for Stephen Amell who had to be talked into the final season that tied into Crisis) things improved & the last season in particular was strong

I am glad that M’Gann is seemingly established enough in the regular cast now that even in an episode that she does not appear in, they at least feel they have to explain where she is (patrolling the city in the absence of the other heroes)

Yes, I was expecting the whole tower to take flight as well. In fact, I was a little disappointed by what we actually got.

I half expected the top to open up like a missile silo and there’s be an Apollo style old-school space ship launched from it.

I like M’Gann as Worf. She is a tough warrior.

I thought it was supposed to be used to track Kara--wasn’t it “like a bloodhound” or something?

I read that bullshit “It’s just not challenging enough anymore!” line and for some reason this popped into my head.

Yeah same. That was way too lengthy and detailed a death that most movie villains don’t get, much less a throwaway background character who was innocent regarding any of the surrounding plot (I guess she absent-mindedly checked her phone instead of watching some kids her boss ordered her to watch? How awful).

Wait that inexplicably violent death in Jurassic World was her???

You know I was thinking that the “Kelpie” looked a bit like a Xenomorph, and then they did the Alien 3 shot.

Her delivery of “That’s my family” made me instantly tear up. These past few seasons have been building up the found family nature of the Super Friends, and it’s a lovely button to see Kara instinctively refer to the team as her family, rather than just her friends.

I haven’t watched Supergirl since maybe its first episode or so, but as a result I find every still photo in this review totally bizarre. The cheapazoid Star Trek knock-off sets, costuming combinations (guy in kaftan! man wearing a suit that looks like it’s built out of styrofoam!), and off-kilter camera angles seem

Cisco - “I’ll always be there to support you Barry.”

Basically, according to White, Jo Marie Payton, Reginald VelJohnson, and Telma Hopkins, who played Harriet, Carl, and Rachel, respectively, all thought they were the show’s stars.

This episode was at the very least engaging. I was on the edge of my seat either yelling at the Paragon of Stupid....err I mean “Love”, or terrified for team Citizen’s infinitely smarter but still ill-fated idea to track down the forces and reason with them. It’s kind of surprising that the tracking down to reason
