we've only seen Kevin through the sitcom filter - his potential abuse/neglect/manipulation/misogyny shown as hijinks and antics.
i think there is way more to unpack with this show
You know a show is in its final season when it busts out its two signature hits (Melissa's concentrated dose of goofiness, especially when drunk; Rosa having to adopt another personality, especially the one that's cheerful) in the same scene. That drunk montage is a gift.
“i would rather barf to death than go to that” kamala stays winning :100:
Well they knocked this out of the bleeping park.
AMY AND JONAH GOT MARRIED. AMY AND JONAH HAD A KID TOGETHER. THEY’RE ALL STILL FRIENDS AFTER THE STORE CLOSED. AHHHH
At least Lena has come back around.
It's not a good sign that the final scene had no impact coz I can't even remember how we left off with the Jeremiah stuff. I thought he was already dead.
Wow, as if the episode wasn't corny enough, they had to go put a pop music track behind a fight scene... SMH...
As others have stated, Lena Luther’s story is supper stupid given they spent so much establish what a great Peterson she is & how different she is.
Oh, it's another supervillain's masterplan to "save" humanity by changing one single thing in human behaviour because that will be the simple solution to everything. I'm so sick of always the same plot...
Is no one else amazed at how James, Nia and especially Kara all have the innate superpower to both save the world AND write complete and fully searched articles for Catco that are delivered on time? No? Just me?
LOL. “...can you believe 3 Luthor’s in the Oval Office...only in America...” hahahah. That’s exactly what trump must’ve said the first day in the Oval Office.
look i really was about to cry, that scene with kara fighting red daughter and alex remembering everything was really beautiful and then alex crying over kara almost dying. but "TAKE THE GRASS"? that was dumb. i'm sorry.
also. brainy? what's going on? jesse rath is an amazing actor, holy smokes, but what. brainy can't do this.
Inspiring indeed! The Dreamer gave the bigots and criminals hell in combat, then told her story to prove them wrong again. They can't win.
Kara is better off without those incompetents. Are you seriously trying to say that she has to publicly acknowledge who she really is? And you are the ones supposed to protect everyone? Are you kidding me? Also, since Kara has to confess her identity, does the DEO publicly release the names of every single Glenn agent working for them? Even if she now has to reveal her identity by what Lockwood said, he himself didn't reveal it by choice. She doesn't really need the DEO. She's got nothing to lose. But the same can't be said about the DEO. Supergirl is their best defender and how are they going to react or counter attack someone like Reign? Beg to Supergirl to please save them? That President is an asshat.
I'm also a bit confused by the whole "reveal your identity" stuff. Tonight's episode made it seem like no one in the DEO knows Supergirl's Kara. But I recall a couple of scenes when she walks into the DEO dressed as Kara. So, do these people know who she is, or do they just think she's just a random agent?
I loved seeing Nia, Brainy and Kara working together. Also, why isn't Brainy used to his whole potential? They remind us every ten seconds that he's a twelfth level intellect, yet he dramatically fails at showing it. These three are going to be the death of me. They're a bit like the scooby gang. Solving their little mysteries by themselves.
One of my favourite scenes was the one with Manchester Black and Ben Lockwood when the former entered the house and confronted Ben by threatening his wife. I wish these two could share more scenes. Their acting was on point.
Kara's "I'm not struggling. I'm flying" was so badass.
Now, let's get to that sweet ending. It caught me by surprise. And the references...Man, I'm gonna explode of happiness. Earth-90. 90s Flash. Get it? Jeez. This is gonna be wild. And did I see Smalville's Green Arrow suit? And Captain Cold's, Star Girl, Firestorm, Hawk mask and, Ray's, I think. And then freaking Monitor! I'm hyperventilating. I can't wait for Sunday! I'm gonna die of happiness!
that scene between james and nia was beautiful. i liked how the writers slipped it in there that she's a transgender woman and not make a huge thing about it
If there's one thing I loved this episode was character interactions, especially Ruby and M'yrnn. They were great together. That deep conversation they had about being strong and finding that strength through something like faith hit me unexpectedly. It was truly beautiful.
The fact that I don't like Ruby is an understatement. Well, if there's one thing TV shows have showed me is that kids end up making things worse than they are by doing something someone told them not to do. However, I sort of felt bad for Ruby. I hadnt even given a thought to the fact that she could be thinking she could became something like her mother.
I laughed so much when Alex told her she would get her a cat and Ruby answered no, because her mom was allergic to cats. That's it! That's the freaking answer! Throw Reign a cat! Now that she's getting inmune to kryptonite, cats are the answer.
I'm actually glad they're using James for something, besides being everyone's love interest. The whole Guardian stuff has never grown on me because his character is so damn underused. He and Winn make a good team but they don't give them enough screen time. If someone was to ever guess his identity, I didn't expect it to be because someone shot you right in the face and that stupid helmet broke in half. His whole backstory, being handcuffed when he was just 7 was so sad. I admit it. However, after confessing all that I expected him to fight a bit more. When Mon-El and Kara took that rock out of the new cult leader's hand and they immediately showed James just standing there, I lost it. How long had he been there just standing up? That was weird.
I'm loving this whole Civil War plotting between Kara and Lena. In fact, I love that these past couple of episodes, Lena has been constantly calling Kara out. I'm on Lena's side, btw. I know not telling Lena Kara is Supergirl is only to create drama, but please, it's beginning to feel just comically stupid.
About James' elevator change. Well, remember when earlier this season Kara made a huge ass hole in the elevator? I'm guessing it's the same one. Who the hell fixed it up? And more importantly, who the hell builds a changing room in an elevator and does not even suspect of what's going on? Maybe James built it himself, since he doesn't seem to be running CatCo. I miss Cat Grant!
Mon-El's little Mike show was entertaining and funny. I'm loving these brief chats he has with J'onn.
After that ending, I'm rooting to know what happens next and I'm glad Coville is back.
What a spot on episode. I was thinking this week that it’s 1 year coronaversary. We all seriously need an Alliday party.
Kwame :(((
it’s so important the work the show and michaela are doing in showing how there are different types of assaults and the ways the system can fail victims and also that victims’ feelings are valid. At first I was so impressed at the way the police was so efficient on Arabella’s case but it’s so infuriating the way they treated Kwame.
I’m so glad Zain got a fragment of what he deserved!! And Biago’s reaction was so disappointing!
Fleabag: I don't know what to do with it.
Boo: With what?
FleaBag: With all the love I have for her. Don't know where to put it now.
Boo: I'll take it. No, I'm serious. It sounds lovely. I'll have it. You have to give it to me. It's got to go somewhere.
Boo is the purest thing to ever grace this earth. MY HEART SHATTERS FOR HER WITH EVERY FLASHBACK. UGH!!!
This series is as heartbreaking as it is funny. Loving it so far. Also, Fleabag looking effortlessly and unintentionally flawless on her mother's funeral and trying to make herself look worse is PEAK COMEDY.
I could honestly watch a full show of Olivia Colman being a pretentious, passive-agressive bitch.
omg i loved the whole bit with belinda! i actually would love to know more about her. imagine if we had a show like this one but with belinda as the main heroine :raised_hands:
"Women are born with pain built in." Wow, what a beautiful line (that whole scene was wonderful, too). Such a well-written episode.
(I'm running out of praising superlatives)
Really liked the first season but this first episode of the second already surpasses everything lol. So good! And very happy to see Andrew Scott in it :)
Love the priest - and love how he manages to keep one step ahead of the ghastly Olivia Coleman without really looking like he’s trying.
Man of the Match Award must go to the ironic confession about his brother
Phoebe Waller-Bridge must be protected at all costs.
