Geez, this episode was a rollercoaster. I have so many thoughts and I’m not sure if I can express all of them properly, but I’ll try.
First of all, Mon-El is not bad, but he’s not particularly interesting either. I really hope he and Kara will stay friends and nothing more. His scenes with Winn were pretty great, though. And hungover Winn is absolutely hilarious.
Something about Lena Luthor’s accent has been bothering me since the season premiere, and I finally got around to looking up Katie McGrath. She’s Irish, as it turns out. My ears weren’t deceiving me. By the way, is Lena evil? Does she know Kara is Supergirl? Something about their conversation and the way she stared after Kara seemed shady. Frankly, I don’t care if she’s one of the good guys or a villain. I’m fine with either.
Miss Martian is a White Martian! I’m having an aneurysm! I didn’t see that one coming at all. What an awesome plot twist. I really enjoyed the relationship between her and J’onn in this episode and I can’t wait to see what will happen when J’onn finds out who she really is.
"- I offered to merge with her in the Martian way.
- But you guys just met."
I literally had to pause the episode because I was laughing too hard. Oh, Kara.
Dichen Lachman is always a win. Dichen Lachman playing a villain in a red dress with sick tattoos? Double win. I hope we’ll see Roulette again at some point.
Alex „Fight Me” Danvers, the same Alex Danvers who throws herself at aliens twice her size without hesitation, stutters and gets flustered when a pretty girl compliments her. What an awkward baby gay. I love her so much.
Why did Maggie take Alex’s hand? Don’t tell me it was for the mission because there was no need for them to hold hands. I’m pretty sure the writers only threw that in to give me (and Alex) a heart attack.
Of course Maggie has a girlfriend who conveniently showed up when Alex was trying to ask Maggie out. I hate it when they do that. We all know that the girlfriend is just a plot device created for the sole purpose of keeping Alex pining for Maggie for a little longer. They did basically the same thing with Kara, James and Lucy last season, except Lucy ended up actually getting some character development and being relevant to the plot. I’m willing to bet it won’t be the case here.
Shoutout to Chyler Leigh for her phenomenal work. She did an amazing job of showing Alex’s inner turmoil, sadness and disappointment with just her facial expressions as she watched Maggie leave. It was stunning to watch.
Okay, raise your hand if you were surprised by the fact that Julian is Alchemy.
awkward cricket sounds
Yeah, I didn't think so. It was one of the most obvious reveals ever.
Savitar is super cool. Special effects were out of control in this episode.
I honestly laughed at Iris telling Barry that the CSI lab is his life. We hardly ever see him there. I think he'll be fine.
Wally was so happy and excited when they were testing his speed. It was adorable.
Oh, Caitlin. My beautiful baby. I really hope that they will find a way to get her powers under ontrol. I'm glad that the team didn't turn their backs on her.
Barry's confrontation with Killer Frost was such an amazing scene. It was so intense and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, even though I knew that there was no way they were going to kill Barry. Still, it definitely stood out to me.
I love Barry and Cisco's relationship. I don't want to see either of them sad. Just please, make up and be happy.
Nice Game of Thrones reference there, Cisco!
We're getting the crossover next week and I couldn't be more excited! I love big superhero team-ups!
a episode isnt bad because a character died, fu*k people who is downvoting here and IMBD because of Lexa's death, it was vital to move the plot foward, there was no other way and Lincoln died, yes, but we dont know the repercusions is going to have
also characthers die all the time in shows like this, get over it its FICTION, chill and enjoy the plot please.
edit: WTF with people harassing writers and producers of the show? the fanbase is disgusting
Josh Holloway: acting range of a potato.
It's not very clear what his character Will Bowman is supposed to be. The "cool" dad making inappropriate jokes about chicken eggs to his daughter; the reliable dad making breakfast for his children; a badass agent, getting into the occupied area and even arrogantly insult the guy who's most likely responsible for his abducting; the PTSD-ing dad who lost his son and would sacrifice his life and f*ck over his remaining family just to find him; a sex hungry beast, doing his wife after he was abducted and finally gets home again? Wait, it's all of it? Oh, boy.
Looked forward to this as it seemed intriguing but the pilot does nothing for me.
The directing was awful, skipable and in context absurd sex scenes, other cringeworthy scenes and the plot / establishing was heavy handed and messy.
Cast is full of unknown actors, except for Josh who was in Lost, that yet unnamed woman in that resistance looking gathering who plays Sheriff Mills in Supernatural, the actress playing Lori in The Walking Dead and perhaps Peter Jacobson, who was in Dr. House quite a long time. But while I know Lori from TWD despite not watching that show I never even heard of Jacobson who had a role in a lot of series. I am also already sick of watching scenes with cardboard Gonzalo Menendez in it.
Too bad.
George R. R. Martin should take a page from this episode's perspective. This was amazing!
Father fixes the fence just to kill his family later. And his son makes a very irrational decision. Jup, TWD logic is back. Just waiting for the return of the ninja zombies now.
Sceptical, this is starting to remind me more of the weaker plots in Heroes. Not something for a reboot hoping to be relevant
Rosario Dawson Ex Machina!
PS: the best fight so far in the show, against the drunken monkey style guy.
Today on AMC's The Walking Dead: Watch Daryl getting humiliated for 40 minutes. Yawn.
Well that's 40 minutes thrown away. Literally nothing happens. Except we see that Dwight also has feelings and that Daryl is still himself. But that's nothing new.
Also they should find a reason to cut Daryl's hair. His face is constantly so covered that it doesn't matter if it's Norman Reedus acting anymore.
If "The Scarf" was a real book I'd definitely read it.
Pretty solid episode though I feel it's too bad Stryker took the place of Cottonmouth. It basically winded down to the main villain having daddy issues, enough so that he wants to kill his half brother. Other than that the acting, the music, the atmosphere. It's all there and it has been very enjoyable to watch!
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.
Please don't vote before you've seen the episode.
How come there's 7 votes to something that wasn't even released yet?! The rating system should only be available after release.
Ugh, I really want to like this show. I love the main show, so have nothing but high hopes... that keep getting dashed.
Everyone seemed to act in just inexplicable ways this episode. Danial Salazar went from 0 to batshit crazy in record time. Lorenzo Henrie is a horrible actor so Chris' psychotic break is just painful to watch because the actor can't pull it off. I like Travis' character, but it's going to be pure agony to have him and Chris off by themselves. It means more Chris in order to keep Travis visible. Nicks constant bathing in walker blood has gotten old. The mechanic is overused and it's only been a few episodes since he discovered that the blood hides him. He must stop at every walker and flap around in the blood like a spawning salmon.
Underground never ceizes to amaze me. This particular episode switches the perspective and the result is brilliant.
Sigue el plan. Esa es una promesa que no romperé.
Joanne... Such a pain every time she appears. We've seen no character development, instead we just get the info that she lost a child, put the blame on EVOs and then decided (along with Luke, I know) to go on this killing spree... With a smile on her face! She finds funny to remember the way they killed EVOs, she makes it look like she won the lottery for finding a so called hit list to kill more and more... I mean, at least they're trying (very poorly, but even so) with Luke to show some conflict.
Joanne's definitely one of the things that turn me off with this series. As a fellow said in Spanish before me, I feel like this is just a promise that I wanna keep (and maybe I'll be rewarded, but I don't think I will).
SPOILER EDIT: no empathy at all for Luke's situation; the script didn't help him to build it so far. And the show that had so much potential with the prequel pisses me off now even with the tiny mistakes (Miko's double in the fighting scenes and her noticeable different builds). Finally, what a mess of storylines... Too much of not enough. We've been there before... The focus should've been on the Epic storyline.
Qual é a da Freya? porque ela foi se juntar ao Finn!
Odeio esse gênio Assassino do Klaus.
Absolutely cannot wait for the new season!
I can't wait for the New Season!
