As if I needed more reasons to drop this boring show.
Consider this:
You wake up in a room. You are bound together with a guy on a chair, back to back. There is a door and a control panel located at one end of the room, a corrugated plastic sheet on the other. What would you do to escape?
A) Try to shift over to the door, headbutt the console and yell for help in the corridor.
Or
B) Anything else.
Yes, you can't make this shit up.
Delete the dinosaur, cause that was just awful.
Didnt like the dinosaur part it was total crap
Season 2 which will consist of 13 episodes will premiere in 2017. It's going to be a long wait.
I am so sick of the 'friend zone'. Kara doesn't wanna screw Winn so now he's in the 'friend zone' aw boo hoo! Almost like she only sees him as a friend right? If a woman whined like that when a man rejected her there would be outrage, but this is okay? It's B.S. There is no such thing as the 'friend zone', you don't get to be mad because a woman would rather be friends with you than sleep with you. Stop using it to turn women into villains for not returning your feelings. That's life. Grow up.
Throughout this entire episode I could feel a real sense of dread building, even when things seem to be going well. This series definitely keeps things tense!
I didn't expect this show to be that good. Indeed the first episode I was kinda meh about it. Now, 7-8 episodes in, I'm loving it. The characters are complicated. Pretty much no one is doing anything that they want to be doing. People are acting in ways that make logical sense for the most part, with the occasional "really?" (but those don't happen to often, and sometimes even the characters will comment on how that seemed a bit weird). They all have their motivations, and those motivations are driving them to do what they think is right. Even at this point, it's not clear exactly who the good guys are, or the bad guys (aside from the aliens, who, thankfully, we haven't even seen). Good scifi makes a point about our current systems, our current forms of governance. This show shows how you can collect all the data you want by spying on people, when it comes down to it, those who are really going to be a "problem" will evade such nets, rendering all that spying, all that surveillance, completely moot (and a waste of resources), at the same time showing how that surveillance is great if you want to weed out the obvious people that may cause you problems, if the entity doing the weeding is clearly a bad guy. It shows how even if you have the best of intentions, shit can and will go sideways (whether you're in government, or opposing, whatever side you believe yourself to be on). Even though we're not sure what the aliens want, it shows that divide and conquer is a pretty much universal strategy, one we continue to employ against ourselves.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good.
Meh. This episode definitely felt a built rushed and apparently diverted quite a bit from the manga cutting out scenes of Airi and skimping on Yashiro sensei's flashback (I may have to read this last part). While I'm disappointed by Kayo marrying Hiromi (not a complete NTR), their kid was cute so I can't be angry. I'm more concerned with the Airi parts that were cut out and Yashiro's motive. It seems that the anime may be going with a bit more of an anime original ending. I'm hoping that the payoff and final confrontation is better in the final episode as this one was a bit of a let down.
While ERASED finished on a positive note (especially with dat Airi ending!!), I can't help but feel that things were just a bit too predictable and cookie-cutter during the second half of the show. The first half of it was riveting and amazing, but the show really started to lose itself once Kayo's problem got resolved. Overall, it's a solid show and thriller, but it didn't really break any new ground especially with how everything progressed towards Yashiro being the way too obvious "ultimate villain". Also, it might have been a little rushed in the last few episodes and could have probably benefited from a 13th episode to add a little more filler and depth to the final sequences, Yashiro's motives/intentions, and the events post-time-skip.
I'll give the show a solid 7.5/10 or so. Not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I was entertained. Plus, you can never go wrong with having too many loli characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Fuck you Mio!
I loved the scene between Tsubaki and Kousei. She finally took the first step. And just when you thought that the death flags couldn't possibly increase, A-1 stepped up their game once again. RIP Neko-chan.
Some things never change: Kira is still creepy (and getting creepier by the seasons) and Sarah still thinks her hoodie is a cloak of invisibility.
-1 for forcing Kara/James down my throat for the thousandth time. I could have easily given this episode a perfect ten because I loved seeing Supergirl and The Flash working together to save National City. Plus seeing Silver Banshee AND Livewire working together, I was in heaven. That was until Barry had to start shipping them too. Why can't writers realize that a superhero, especially a FEMALE, can still be a hero without having to have a significant other? I honestly hope Kara's kiss kills him that's how much I hate this pairing. Of course it won't and it'll make Kara realize she loves James even more than ever before. GAG ME WITH A SPOON!
Great episode, loses points for racist imitation of Japanese language (while eating Chinese food).
Please don't vote before you've seen the episode.
Five, when given the choice, picks the gun that's bigger than she is...
No idea how to fill the pages? Add petty drama.
The blue ranger is a haughty, effeminate ninja with a nasty sense of entitlement, from a proud dynasty, who's been studying at a magic school in England. Draco Malfoy, is that you?
Ah man. Hazuki is such a sweet girl. I feel her sadness and sorrow throughout this one. You'll find your own prince soon enough.
The Ending
was very predictable!!!
I would prefer more battles, less talk and fluff. So, it's disconcerting that they edited out some battles. It's like the show is afraid to be what it is. They should get Grant Imahara (Mythbusters' electro-mechanical engineer) or somebody like that to MC - someone who can take it more seriously and speak intelligently about the technology and tactics.
The things that annoy me in this show are actually the same things I hate in YA books (you can easily tell that series is based on such a book).
Let's take the Anya situation as an example. Clarke and the others are literally fighting for their lives and Anya attacks them and tries to kill them. And then suddenly Clarke yells "Don't! We're not like the Grounders!". And all I can think is what the hell. This is about pure survival! They already killed Grounders and people. And now they have the chance to get rid of one of the leaders and they don't do it? This is "kill or be killed".
In most YA books they would regret this sooner or later because Anya would betray them or stab them in the back. I'm actually curious how the show will handle it - Will Anya actually help them or will she try to kill them again?
Too many damn lens flares with the last 2 episodes, lens flares don't make the show and it's quite distracting. I'm surprised they didn't add lens flares to bald people's heads or eyes.
what the actual f**k!! Did not guess that would happen.
Quite a ballsy move going for a bad end after all that. I see a lot of people are upset about it since this bad end was basically a combination of about 3/4 other route endings, but with only 13 episodes I don't see what else they could have done really. This makes sense, and it looks like there will be a Season 2 covering the Moon and Terra arcs (which are the true route of the story anyway). Hopefully it'll be a bit better in terms of quality too.
As a big fan of the VN I can't say this series is completely without merit, but I do think it makes for poor standalone piece and is definitely a "for fans only" series. So little time is spent explaining a lot of the elements of the plot that only someone who's read the VN will get it. The same thing happened with Grisaia and the same studio was behind that too. I'm not blaming them specifically, I just think it's a shame that the last few Key properties have ended up with sub-par adaptations that don't hold up on their own.
I will of course be watching the second series but I wouldn't blame anyone for not bothering after watching this. All I can say is that as if often the case with these things, the source material is far better and I would urge anyone who is willing to give it a chance - there's a reason I was initially looking forward to this adaptation so much and it's because the VN itself is great. If you do plan to check it out, be aware that whilst the original Rewrite VN has been fully translated, Key are also planning a release of Rewrite+ (the original game and the fandisc, plus some tweaks to the original story) in English in the future.
7.4/10. Good, if not great episode. I know Trump provokes nothing but outrage, and rightfully so, but I expect more insight and cleverness from the show than just pointing out the obvious about his awfulness, though maybe there's only so many angle you can apply to something like a presidential candidate being caught on camera talking about committing sexual assaults.
The main story on closing Guantanamo Bay, however, was a great segment that had the right mix of information and advocacy. There was there to educate you on the raw facts, but also enough of Oliver and his staff's perspective to make it feel like it was all adding up to a cogent point. The laughs were a little slight, but it was still a quality segment.
That said, ragging on Billy Bush and the leader of Chechnya may be amusing enough, but it too feels like shooting fish in a barrel. The "is this your cat" business was fun, but leaning into it starts to make it feel like you're just watching the "this week in wacky news" segment of your local news broadcast.
Overall, some merely decent supprorting bits, but a quality main segment boosts this one.
I love October. You can practically hear all of my favorite shows coming back from hiatus.
This was a really good episode. Like, really good. Thankfully, Superman didn't overshadow Supergirl at all. I'd been worried that that might happen - the media had been massively overhyping his appearance on the show before the season started, but he didn't steal Kara's spotlight, for which I'm grateful. Tyler and Melissa work so well together. It was a pleasure to watch their characters interact.
Lena Luthor seems pretty cool. I hope to see more of her soon.
Cat Grant is absolutely fantastic. I love her. What a shame that Calista is no longer a series regular. Kara and Cat's relationship is a delight to watch.
Kara and James didn't even last one episode, which is hilarious. Honestly, I'm glad. Let Kara focus on herself before you put her in a relationship.
We also got yet another British villain, the first glimpse of Project Cadmus and Alex Danvers kicking some bad guy ass (hell yeah!).
After a pretty shaky start and some serious improvement in season 1, Supergirl is now a well-balanced superhero show and also one of my personal favorites. And boy, am I glad that they moved it to the CW. To be honest, I didn't know what to think when I heard the news back in May, but it worked out extremely well. The pacing and the flow of the episode were significantly better than what we'd got used to in season 1. The dialogues were better. The editing was better. The atmosphere was better. Supergirl has always been charming, colorful and fun, and now all these qualities seem to have been amplified somehow. If this episode was any indication of how the rest of the season is going to look like, we're in for a treat. And I couldn't be more excited.
Better than every episode last season, except for maybe the flash crossover. So glad they're pumping the brakes on the Kara/James relationship. After Arrow, I don't think I could handle another should we / shouldn't we relationship.
You know who I love? Alex Danvers. Any episode where she gets her own scenes is a good episode in my book. Which is kind of sad, actually - she's a main character after all, arguably the most important one after Kara, and yet practically all of her storylines revolve around her sister. The showrunners promised that we would get to know Alex more this season and see more of her personal life, so I'm waiting for that. And I'm really happy that they acknowledged Alex's problems with Clark because she's right. 12-year-old Kara was willing to take care of baby Kal, but Clark, who was a grown-ass man when her pod landed, immediately dropped his cousin off at the Danvers family's doorstep like a stray puppy. Alex has dedicated her whole life to Kara while Clark has been flying around, showing up once in a blue moon. What's up with that, by the way? It took him like 5 seconds to get from National City to Metropolis. Can't they hang out for dinner every Saturday or something? Why do they see each other so rarely?
It was fun to have Superman on the show. I really liked the way Tyler Hoechlin portrayed him.
Clark and Kara are adorable dorky dorks and I love them.
My favorite scene in this episode was the one where Cat told Kara she was leaving. I genuinely cried. I love Cat Grant and the show won't be the same without her. She'll return at some point, of course, but she'll probably never be a main character again, which sucks. Just like Kara, I don't like change, and I will miss Queen of All Media deeply.
Winn is absolutely hilarious. His reaction to Clark and J'onn arguing was the same as mine. And Star Wars references are always great.
Project Cadmus is super shady. I mean, I already knew that, but damn. They're much better villains than Non.
James is the boss, which is... actually good in my opinion? And it makes sense? Give him his own storylines outside of being Kara's (former) love interest. It'll be good for both of them.
