I made the mistake of not rewatching 5A before my first watch of 5B thanks to work and the whiteboard episode seemed SO LONG to me that I didn’t pick up on the setup until way later than I should.

For me, Lauren German has seemed to be the odd one out in the cast from the very beginning because, as Chloe Decker, she’s always so serious. I can’t recall a single scene of her ever laughing with delight, can you? Even Dan, our beloved schlimazl constantly getting hot soup dumped in his lap from all directions, has

This reunion special maybe didn’t need to exist, but I have to say I always appreciate that moment when actors go from “dammit, I’m more than just ___ from Friends” to “wow, this had a huge impact on people, I’m glad I was part of it, and it’s OK if that’s the first line in my obituary.”

“Also, the fact that *all* the red sun lights go out when you break one is awfully f-ing convenient...”

It was gut-wrenching seeing evil alt-earth Superman murder Lois, after she said goodbye to her husband & daughter, to the ironic TV tagline “Lois Lane-Live” 

This was yet another amazing episode with some lovely direction from David Ramsey whose biceps I once got to touch - one of the highlights of my life.

Now playing

This is such a high quality show, I am beyond thrilled that I get this treat every week. Especially after that episode of The Flash, which made this episode look like Citizen Kane in comparison. The performances, writing, directing, cinematography are all firing at such a high level, I sure hope they can keep anywhere

I swear, about ten minutes before they revealed his name, watching those “building my supersuit” montages, I was thinking “they should have made him John Henry Irons! He’s making the Steel suit!” then “Nah, wasn’t Nat his niece?” Because I am a dope:-P

So help me, after all these years of superhero shows and movies being the dominant force in pop culture, i still get a little thrill whenever they introduce a character from the comics. Just a jolt of “hey, I know that name!”

You know, I think I’m ready to call it, this is the worst this series has ever been.

She was an effective Big Bad, but I have to say that I like Nora, Barry & Iris’s daughter from the future, and also Nora Darhk, both significantly more than Nora, the Speed Force who is also the reincarnation of Barry’s mother for some reason. 

  • So Nora, Barry’s mother-daughter...also wants to be his wife?

THIS BETTER MEAN STUFFED BEEBO TOYS ARE COMING! 

This movie looks like it has everything that I love: Karen Gillan, gratuitous violence

I really think this was one phone call away from existing in the John Wick Extended Universe. 

Last episode, I congratulated Legends on acknowledging that they’d been having problems making Mick feel like part of the team and addressing it. I may have to rescind those congratulations, depending on how long it takes him to find Sara and get back to the rest of the crew. (Since he has the Waverider, and [I hope]

“Why the fuck not?: Behrad’s whole deal. Like, all of it. I wish it worked better.”

My favorite part was throwing in a nod to Kennedy’s real life chronic back pain with zero foreshadowing. If you know about it, great, but if you don’t, the show’s not going to bother holding your hand and is just going for the gag.

I want one where we see the alternate season 3 and 4 with him in Zari's storylines.

Yeah, I was thinking all the stuff at the White House felt like a very Season 2 story.
