With Cavill's exit, consider this the final season.
loading replies
@legendaryfang56 , I think @m0ssb3rg's point is that this Third Season is the final season with Henry Cavill playing Geralt, and that some won't care about a Fourth Season without him.
I think Lena is overreacting. Kara confessed and apologised, what else does she want? I don’t like what the writers are doing with this story. Everything else was greath though and Katie McGrath is perfect as Lena.
loading replies
My impression (admittedly including some theorizing to try to fill in some blanks) is that Lena's gone through enough inner turmoil and worldview shift since last season's end (Lex, Eve, Kara, everyone?) to keep a therapist busy for years, and her fundamental approach to how to help humanity with her technology has changed harshly as a result, and that the writers haven't done a very good job of showing us enough of that to help us understand and sympathize with Lena's new point of view.
Wait, what am i missing here?
Doesnt that mexican chick have super speed and robot arms, she could have caught that bird multiple times, or take it off from her boyfriends mouth a thousand times
Oh yeah.. I forgot...My bad...

Not being able to catch it I can see, as she couldn't find it; kinda hard to catch what you can't see. But standing there agape while it inched into his mouth, that Yo-Yo could have blurred in close, grabbed, and at least had a very interesting time yanking that thing back out. Even if she failed and it slipped in anyway, it'd've still made more sense.
Best ever series...but I'm concerned about this pause of filming caused by this virus

The Blacklist actually had some very... unusual... planning discussions around exactly that.

what's does being a transgender woman have to do with this story???????? this show has lost my interest

Funny how so many can get so many different reactions from listening to the same speech.
I think that, in the process of demonstrating herself as a real valid person, she simply started with the other controversial aspect of herself, one to whose similar difficulties some of those hearing the interview might relate. She then followed it with several less controversial aspects of herself such as playing kickball as a kid, being close to her mixed-race parents, being an MTBI INFP, liking s'mores and Harry Potter and Game of Thrones and April and nerdy boys. All of this together seems intended to demonstrate that "an alien" isn't the singular whole of her identity, but that she's an amalgam of many aspects, a couple of them perhaps seemingly unusual but many of them highly relatable even to most native Earthers, and all of which weave together to form the whole of her self. Much as is the case for any person.
That's not to say that Supergirl isn't sometimes a bit overly (and even clumsily) on-the-nose with such things, but this one didn't feel quite so much like that, at least not to me. (IMO, YMMV, etc.)
That evil bitch! I hope someone kills her.
I think there's a good chance Frank didn't kill those girls. If he did, well, shit happens. More so when you've been set up.
loading replies
Seems as though Billy would have wanted to make certain that Frank found them like that, after expending his whole crew on riling Frank up into mad shoot-first mode.
Poor Sam... Should have chose to save Sam
loading replies
The Right Thing, one might say, in a crazy charged morally ambiguous situation like that, is highly subjective.
IMO, the right thing would have been to refuse to answer Anatol's question, to make it clear that whoever Anatol chose to kill would be on Anatol and Anatol alone, to demonstrate that she, for one, would not choose one person to live or die over another, human or synth.
OTOH, weighing that against the intensity of the moment, any lingering biases, and belief in Anatol's seriousness about killing one or the other (and her responsibility thus to save at least one of them), and just trying to think clearly through that mad cacophony, Laura was in an utterly impossible situation, and it's difficult to fault her too hard whatever she ended up choosing.
But, try explaining all that to poor Sam... or Stanley... or Sophie...
Right, so it starts off a little rough, and the characters take some getting used to, it's definitely not "The Witcher", but it IS the Witcher's universe, eh, sort of Witcher's alternate universe... literal parallel worlds lol... anyway, it's actually quite enjoyable as a stand alone show. I'd certainly watch more of this.
loading replies
This is basically what I was thinking. Really ragged rough start in terms of story flow, but improving along the way into a pretty good fun finish.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY BUILT UP BLACK NOIR'S BACKSTORY THIS SEASON TO MAKE HIM DIE LIKE GARBAGE......... I KNOW THEY KNOW THAT THEY COULD'VE DONE MUCH BETTER.
loading replies
They did use Noir nicely as a foil from which to tell us the story of What Really Happened the day Soldier Boy disappeared.
But, yes, after all that, that end was sadly disappointing. I can see that as being part of the point: to further punctuate the tragic futility of trying to eliminate the unstable toxic mess that is Homelander. But, still,... sigh.
Pretty dumb of Cal to think his mom over-reacted lol.
loading replies
Everyone in this show can be a bit overly one-dimensionally motivated at times. Ben's almost berserker-fervence in pursuing callings (which maybe he'll finally absorb now). Angelina's obsessions with fitting in and connecting. Cal's she's-supposed-to-be-here surety. As though no other factors exist, like they've never experienced the complex interactions of life.
Not that that's not necessarily realistic. I see real-life people who behave like this, too. But... sigh.
Katie Cassidy needs to eat something, she doesn't look healthy at all.

That parting scene between Margo and Josh was pretty terrific. The rest of the episode was solid, as well, but I must have blinked and missed the whole quesadilla thing.

Is that what Quentin dropped in the kitchen when MonsterEliot suddenly appeared?
"Hey, Mack Hammer... Can't touch this." xD

That was one of those moments in which I was happy to have a "pause" button. (Otherwise, I'd've missed the "Sorry, couldn't resist.") :-D
That ending, though. I mean, it was good but hasn't Ollie been investigated for being the GA for like three times already? Now we've got him in the suit and it's evidence enough but, for real? It's easy to prove it's not him. Just say you were cosplaying.
One thing that bothered me, though. Almost at the end, Dinah said that Dig didnt fire his gun but I saw him shooting like 6 times, though he missed. Wth was that? Btw, the chemistry between these two...
Overall, good premiere. Overstuffed and poorly paced, but action-packed and full on psychological damage. It gave us enough clues of what's coming. I'm dying to see Michael Emerson in action.
loading replies
The pacing was certainly a problem in this one. Too much was too rushed, too simplified, too quick. I hope that doesn't stick around as the new trend...
I have faith that Aaron will turn out to be a good dude, but it's not looking good so far.
loading replies
I know what you mean. I get the impression of someone who wants to do the right thing for the country, and is maybe teetering a bit this way and that as to what that is. That last bit, with the file on Kirkman, seemed presented with a dark suspicion that Aaron was working toward undermining Kirkman, but it could just as well have been him researching any possible skeletons that Aaron might need to be prepared to head off to protect Kirkman in the future. As always, we'll have to watch and see...
lol, superman has to have the lamest disguise in the history of disguises. :joy:

Heh. True. And no voice-distortion.
At least Black Lightning has the excuse that their visors generate electric fields that distort the face. And Flash's voice-vibration distortion (even if they do forget to use it too often).
But, despite all that, this show is still the best of the Arrowverse right now.
Was Ally Allston and her cult a reference to Allison Mack and her membership in a cult?
loading replies
Sounds like she may be modeled after a comics character named Alexandra Allston (Parasite).

I'm not quite seeing the full connection so far, but we all know that the Arrowverse has drawn some rather interesting new interpretations from existing DC comics characters before...
Absolutely loved the episode from beginning to end, but when Kang the Conqueror/He Who Remains finally appears, isn't he initially just describing Counterpart's (an amazing series with J.K. Simmons, from 2017, I think) plot?

I didn‘t think that Spike is a PoS, but after he shot the running kid: He definitely is.
loading replies
You could see the conflict in his face as he tracked her running away, the decision that he just couldn't allow a witness this time, the pain afterwards. I suspect that that (piled atop everything else that'd just happened) is what broke his willingness to stay with the Syndicate (and to "do this any more") at all and pushed him to run.
Wrapping it up with the title "Captain America and the Winter Soldier" was a nice touch :)
loading replies
Or "Captain America and the White Wolf"?
what kind of dagger is that ? 1 hit killed a rhino.
loading replies
Yeah, that's probably my only real nit with this one. He'd have to know that creature's physiology pretty well to have a decent chance to plant a single killshot with that knife like that, and that seems awfully unlikely. (Maybe if he'd sunk it into an eyesocket.)
But otherwise, the way the battering he received so badly damaged much of his armor and left him clearly exhausted by the time he pulled that knife... Wow.

I like the period, the first moments of the Empire. With sixteen episodes in total I hope we get a lot of world building aside from the main story.
Anyone else thinks Hunter looks a lot like Rambo ? I Don't think it's intentional, though.loading replies
Hunter Rambo? Yeah, kinda.
And Tech, when he has his full helmet and gear on, looks just a bit like Ant-Man.
god i love how awful the cgi in this show can be

Agreed. Even when the story does hit its occasional strong strides, the cheapish visual effects can make for some weirdly jarring interruptions.

Oooooooooooo...
I have truly missed this show...
It's up there with Babylon 5...an Firefly..
Fanx again Amazon for Season 4..
Worth the price of amazon prime just for this show..
Ya can almost taste the amount of money thrown at this series...
An adult sci-fi...
Music is emotional..
An eye popping visuals..
Only watched first episode but will binge out on it.. Given first episode 9 cos if it starts this good I know there will be episodes getting a 10...No spoiler... Just hop on and enjoy the ride...

I still think that The Expanse is to today what Babylon 5 was to its time.

I'm enjoying season 2, but Ryan had many opportunities to shoot and decided to wait until the last moment. That's just not very believable to me.
loading replies
One could argue that he only opened fire once it became obvious that running him down and capturing him (for interrogation, connection to Reyes, etc.) wasn't going to happen. And could do so with a low risk of hitting anyone else.
This was the first episode where I felt the show finally figuring out what it wants to be. Hard to describe, but it drew me in more, I connected with characters more, and I didn't get bored like I have on previous episodes. I think having the new suit is helping a lot, but there's more to it than that as well.
loading replies
Agreed, although I wonder how much of that is simply the coming-togetherness of Kate figuring out what she wants to be, along with learning a bit more about who Alice has been. :wink:
