Well at least you aren't horrible parents using winter as an excuse to give the kids a shot of Dimetapp to make them drowsy faster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 In news about super hero stuff being given attention by awards-giving bodies (which seems to be a thing lots of people care about), Watchman is nominated for the Critics' Choice Award for best drama series. Also nominated are Regina King, Tim Blake Nelson, and Jean Smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He'd probably be in the same category as Tim Blake Nelson (supporting actor in a drama series), and expecting multiple nominations in a single category would be pushing it for a super hero show. Irons has been fun as hell, but Nelson's work in the Looking Glass spotlight episode alone gives him the edge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Irons has been really good, but Blake-Nelson really stands out to me. Little Fear of Lighting was an amazing character study episode and Tim fucking killed it. Regina is already coming off of an Oscar win. Critics Choice award nom for a role in a show about superheroes almost seems like slumming. Edited December 9, 2019 by J.T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I hope The Ray and Lenny got off of Earth-X. Also FUCK!!! I did NOT see that happening in the first episode. Fuck. Liked the brief little Titans cameo and fucking ROBERT WUHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reaction was basically the same as the Monitor’s: That was not the ending for him I foresaw. I’m not caught up on Supergirl, but I’m at the point in my binge watching where the trust between Lena and Supergirl is crumbling due to her kryptonite and the Worldkillers, so seeing the dissension here makes sense. Also, Alex has clearly been through some shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Why DID he put down his bow? I apparently had less context than I thought I did going into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So, the dialogue when they send little Jonathan away in the ship was Brando's from the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a bow is a surprisingly poor melee weapon? That bit surprised me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kept making wholly textual inferences. It's kind of amazing how much ground they covered. It was still Supergirl-centric but much less show-centric so than other crossovers have been so far.

Craig H Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That was easily one of the best hours of television I have ever watched. I don't know if it's the best, but it's going to be one of the most memorable episodes ever for me. When it ended I wrecked me. If Lindelof and everyone else sticks the landing next week then this is probably going to be one of the best season's of TV ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Oh my God, just read a review for A God Walks Into Abar and I think I know why I love it so much. The reviewer made comparisons to the Constant episode from LOST, another episode I consider about perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Fun fact: Jack Bender who directed "Constant" and a ton of episodes on LOST also directed "The Door" on Game of Thrones.. Judd has something in common with Hodor.. Man.. what the fuck.. I can't do it. I can't really explain how incredible this episode was and to be able to pull this shit off with time paradox and everything that went into it and explain it so beautifully so that everyone watching can understand. The final sequence with Angela and the music playing.. it was so badass and so sad all the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) One more thing, not a spoiler but something I immediately thought of.. a theory we've discussed I think that damn kid did have the powers of Manhattan all along! Remember the conversation about transferring of powers/abilities and then how weird the kid has been, emotionless at points and seemingly building the same structure as Doc on Mars Edited December 9, 2019 by Niners Fan in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck. Liked the brief little Titans cameo and fucking ROBERT WUHL. There is supposed to be a 100-page giant tie-in by Guggenheim and Woflman that is coming out next Sunday in Walmarts (not sure when for LCS). It cover stuff between the first two episodes and involves characters who didn't make the crossover (the Ray, Felicity, Kid Flash). That ending was definitely unexpected. 4 hours ago, JonnyLaw said: My reaction was basically the same as the Monitor’s: That was not the ending for him I foresaw.

So much happens between where you are now and what is currently happening in the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 This might be a weird wish, but you know how every crossover ends with Barry and Ollie having a conversation and reflecting? I hope there is some kinda of flashback with that at the end here, with some poignant topic. RE: Oliver's bow. He did use the old one as a melee weapon often, before he switched over to using a more traditional looking bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two are basically the Batman and Superman of the Arrowverse, and this is the final ride for at least one of them. It would honestly be odd if we didn't get something like that or a nod to it.
