So, guess my wife and I were the only ones that thought White Canary was the most wooden and uninsteresting of all the characters that the show was desperately trying to prop up as interesting and awesome…? Interesting.

I thought the Day the Earth Stood Still bit was very effective- he just didn't bring it to a strong conclusion. It was untapped potential- but as a speech, and a performance, worked very well.

Kara felt betrayed because her mother had used HER to arrest Astra; what she'd seen as a gesture of love, reaching out to a relative who loved her and who she was worried for, was instead used as a trap; whether or not Astra has to be arrested, Kara was upset that she was unwittingly *used* as bait, and made unknowing…

Numerous reasons- from the major middle finger given to the EU, to the characters whom I find annoying (particularly Ahsoka, who lost me at the word 'Skyguy'), the plots which I find childish and pointless (given that the fates of all major players are already known; yes, Count Dooku will escape this week- yes, he…

Jaxxon forever!

WOW.

Doctor Who excels at that, from all the way back at Steven storming out on the 1st Doctor in a surprising, dark, and powerful ending for the character in Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve… then coming running back in a few moments later, and getting an unforshadowed, perfunctory, out-of-nowhere post-script departure a…

An excellent review. I've been fairly vocal to fellow Whovians about Clara leaving the show not coming soon enough, and wishing they had the guts to kill off a companion, but, now that I've unintentionally- and with total surprised- apparently gotten my wish…

Ah, I get your meaning. Yes, it's funny, I just made the same comment yesterday about the legacy characters bearing the brunt of bad continuity research, always getting the unintentional retcon as liars.

But how will they develop and improve when their focus-time has been diluted? The opening two-parter of the season, for instance, which should have gone to establish their characters and new status quo, were given entirely to the clones (with a pittance of development for Kanan). I get that some people may not click…

I don't recall objecting to Worf- but I also don't recall him immediately assuming any prominence in the ensemble, or becoming the focus of the climax in stores that haven't involved him otherwise, as both of the Inquisitor episodes (the first more tangentially, during the interrogation) have done.

…Wha? How so?

'The abduction episodes from Clone Wars had Cad Bane in them, so they were by default awesome.'

Agreed about the shoddy eavesdropping moment- but ticked off by the article title. Ahsoka's 'due'? What is she due? NOTHING. This is *not her #%^*@%#@^* show*!!! Ahsoka received her 'due' for six freaking years of her own series. She has not earned being the climactic badass of this episode; she has not justified her…

This… is actually a pretty genius and surprisingly-logical claim on Jackson's part. Well-played, sir.

Looks *more* terrible than before to me; I can't believe the Zod's-corpse-into-Doomsday rumors are looking like they'll prove to be true.

I found this to be the best episode of the season to-date. It had a real ANH feel (the sets plus, oddly enough, the smoke, gave it a real grounded, OT feel, I think), some great heroics, some good comedy, nice character beats (I particularly liked Ezra's promise not to hurt his guards as a good character moment), and…

So, the ending of this episode/start of the next one is "Good job screwing up talking down Andrew and turning this into a fight where people died, Lincoln. Your emotional, uncontrollable impulsiveness is just what this team needs; welcome aboard!"

Between this and last episode- this show is finally back firing on all cylinders, and MAN does it feel good!

I thought this episode destroyed most of the goodwill that the last one created. Whiners of SHIELD are still spending 50% of their time challenging and questioning Coulson, setting up BS conflicts through Daisy's "Oh, my poor PEOPLE (that I've only known I'm one of for a few months)" shtick, and generally challenging…
