It’s weird to realize we have more in common with these new guys than we do with the characters we’ve been following around for four years.

Kara’s hostility to Kryptonite does feel a little odd considering how casually they treated it in the first season—the DEO literally shot her with it in the pilot! Then Alex made her learn combat training under its effects! Plus it’s not like this Earth has never been under assault by hostile Kryptonians before.

As long as we’re nitpicking the legal aspects—why did Not-Laurel need to be the one to introduce the CIA evidence against Christopher Chance? Why couldn’t literally any other person on the planet do that?

That “new” anti-vigilante law has been the silliest thing in a season of silly things.

There’s also Agent Piper Vasquez who plays essentially the same role on both AoS and Supergirl.

Whoever wrote that intro has obviously never played a battle royale shooter where catching someone parachuting in is basically the equivalent of a free lunch.

She also disintegrated a bunch of white Martians.

It might just be due to the PLL similarities LaToya pointed out, but I really wouldn’t be surprised if Charles turned out to be alive and the real Black Hood.

If you use Chrome or Firefox you can get the addon/extension Kinjamprove which makes it less annoying. You should also be able to see likes and replies if you click the little circle in the top right corner—I can’t see it on individual article pages like this one though, so you might have to go to the homepage first.

Honestly surprised at the low grade here—I thought this episode was great. My only real gripe was the cape tricks—I could take the silliness, but I have some reservations about Kara learning them from Mon-El instead of Superman (you know, the guy whose name is almost synonymous with capes?). But honestly I’m just glad…

I think Ralph’s “death” (let’s see how long it sticks) would have hit a lot harder if his personality was anything beyond whatever served best as a foil to Barry in any particular week. Last week his problem was he wasn’t taking anything seriously—this week he wants to go on a solo mission to murder DeVoe? Sure, why…

I know they’re different shows but I’m honestly surprised they went all-in on the “selfish ass finds his inner hero” arc with Ralph this year when the same exact storyline with Mon-El on Supergirl got such a mixed reaction.

I think my problems with this episode are pretty much identical to my problems with the previous episode, and really the season as a whole so far. There’s been a lot of interesting ideas with some pretty anemic setups. To date:

This was everything I could have hoped for and more. I nearly choked on my dinner (which was, fittingly, chicken) when I heard Denethor and realized where they were going with it. God I love this show.

I actually think the bonkers stuff helps sell the emotional stuff even better. Making these characters funny and exciting also makes them more likeable—we care about what happens to them because we like hanging out with them for an hour every week. Whereas a lot of the drama in the first season fell flat because…

I’m baffled at how haphazard this plot was considering they’ve apparently known Willa Holland was leaving since the end of season 4. They’ve had almost two whole seasons to set this up and instead stuffed it all into one episode? I almost wish they’d just sent her off into the sunset with Roy—giving her a boring but…

You know, if you’d told me back when Arrow was just getting off the ground—back when it was about 80% poorly lit warehouses, 10% Stephen Amell’s abs, and 10% “YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY”—that it would eventually lead to a spinoff in which Gorilla Grodd kidnaps a young Barack Obama who has to be saved by Black Canary,…

I loved Nate immediately apologizing for going behind her back and Amaya being upset, but also understanding why he did it. 

I think they wanted to do a story about tradition and family (to tie in with the Amaya/Kuasa plot) and decided not to sweat the chronological details on a show about time travel.

I started to think something was up as Evil Fitz’s plan got more complex. So far the fear anomalies have been pretty simple—they might mimic real people’s behavior, but only as a method to disarm our heroes and try to kill them. When Evil Fitz talked about not really wanting to hurt anyone and Doing What Had To Be…
