Yep, that’s what I was referring to. A reference to better times (and better episodes).

I enjoyed Apokolips War but I don’t think it a top tier. It’s easy to kill everyone off when Flash can just reset the table, which already happened in a better “end of the world” movie. But I do give it credit for it’s portrayal of King Shark.

I still wish they included this scene from the comic in All-Star Superman.

If this is anywhere near as good as The Animatrix then I’ll be happy. Especially considering that one part is done by Hiroyuki Imaishi and I love basically everything he does.

I mean... considering how for the past thirty years these costumes have notoriously not been designed for the basic human needs of the actor, it is noteworthy. I mean shit, it was considered a vast improvement when they started designing the supersuits to let the actors piss without having to have a team of six spend…

I think what they are going for with Frost and Chillblaine is a gender-flipped version of Cisco’s thing with Golden Glider, where she was both into him and playing him. (Cisco at the time was somewhat more innocent than he later became). Is it sexist that I think that worked a lot better when she did it?

In all sincerity, if Candice Patton does not get everything she wants contractually, including I think her primary concern, good storylines for Iris, she should walk. She has given seven years to this show and for most of that time has been given borderline insulting material. 

How the hell did an episode about a possible pregnancy by Iris get out of production WITHOUT IRIS?!?! Candice Patton making a power play here or something?

Also, I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but I had to laugh that the only door in STAR Labs that actually has a lock is the freaking bar.

I tend to put Caitlin’s medical skill along with Cecile’s legal skills. I just go with it.

Caitlin operates on Ultraviolet, whom isn’t even meta-cuffed, in unsterile conditions. It feels like something was missing from that sequence. I was half expecting Esperanza to die as collateral damage from the Godspeed rampage & Allegra take up her mantle. Or if that’s too dark, that Allegra would’ve used her power…

This wasn’t terrible. I liked the Nora-Dream, and at this point I’d rather have Speedsters than anything else (Thawne obviously being the best case scenario). The Frost storyline, by contrast, is just terrible. Frost works but I can’t stand the new guy. Hopefully he doesn’t stick around.

It was so great to see future Nora again

• That was actually a very sweet cold open. I really liked it.

I still kind of wish that they had just cast Rachel Skarsten as both twins from the beginning and then they wouldn’t have been in this mess, but then we never would have gotten the wonderful Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder, a character who sounded like a bad stereotype on paper but turned out to be so much more. This…

He’s not an OG legend, but when Mick and Sara were both off the ship he was the longest-tenured Legend (by kind of a lot). The O-est G. Most original gangster. 

Me too. He seems like the milkshake type. 

I’d argue that it’s even a little bit more complicated than that. When they launched Flash, it was actually somewhat close at the start to the comic book character. Green Arrow never really had that clear identity, but they just wholesale stole from Batman on that show. And with Supergirl, while it was marketed as a…

Still betting that Bishop's consciousness is in Sara.

For me, the fundamental hurdle with this season is that what exactly makes this show a Bat-Show? It is about a random person who found a Batsuit and decided to be a hero fighting random people with at best tangential connections to Bat-Mythos in a Gotham that is pretty generic. And while Black Mask is from the comics,…
