RandomAct Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm really glad to see the Obsidian story finally leading to SOMETHING on Supergirl. Didn't expect it to end up being downright creepy. Loved the Alex stuff, and that was probably the best acting Chyler Leigh has ever done on this show. This episode did a lot to make me like the William character more, probably because I don't think there is much chemistry with he and Kara, so having them removed from each other was good.

NikoBaltimore Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 William does make for a good detective. Really liked him tracking things down with Obsidian to go along with Alex's findings while in VR. It also made for a nice cautionary tale about full-immersive VR. I think when we get to that it'd be neat but strict time limits would need to be established. Batwoman's two recent episodes were really, really good. Last week was pretty fucked up but it really started a "babyface turn" for Alice [/wrestlingbubble] But I really liked them teaming up and was even hoping that she'd be able to ride off into the sunset knowing that her family really does care about her. So when locked her up considering all that she went through I really felt bad for her. While it had to be done I hope she gets another shot at redemption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Alice in the show is that there really isn't a good way to redeem her. She cares about her family and her relationship with them, but that is all. She sees people as playthings and has zero issues murdering them for fun. Alice in the comics truly had her mind broken and needed to be rebuilt. In the show her breakdown in more emotional with her basically deciding to give up on humanity and morality. 5 hours ago, RandomAct said: This episode did a lot to make me like the William character more, probably because I don't think there is much chemistry with he and Kara, so having them removed from each other was good. Glad I'm not alone in not feeling William/Kara. They can be friends, but I don't see any romantic chemistry between them at all. William's interesting aspects are much more in his investigative journalist side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Now that I think about it, has Kara had good chemistry with anyone they have tried to pair her with? I find it funny that, much like Felicity, she had better chemistry with Barry Allen than the characters they have been officially linked to. Maybe Mon-El would have worked if he wasn't such a wet sock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The best chemistry Kara has with anyone on the show is non-romantic in Alex and Lena. I kind of feel sorry for them since nothing working and its not from a lack of trying. It would be funny if turned out she had chemistry with someone else on another show.

It's like the Agent Carter of DC shows, sometimes a little bit weird in a good way, just playful enough, a great lead, a unique atmosphere, and Thomas Wayne playing almost exactly the same character as Howard Stark. If you happen to have Epix this month, you should watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until just now, I thought Benoist was married to the actor who played Superman on the show. Yeah, that is odd. The actors seemed to have no chemistry onscreen.

Johnny Sorrow Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 You'd think after all the crazy shit Barry Allen has gone through, he'd have figured out that this is a fake Iris he's dealing with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teaser for next week seems to be heading in that direction. And speaking of Flash I sure do love seeing Sue Dearborn return. She's quickly become one of my favorite characters of the DC shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Given that this was episode 16 for Flash, I'd guess they have what, 6 or so left? I figured they had the entire season in the can already, but I guess not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, they re-edited the last finished episode (21?) to serve as the season finale. Spoiler According to Jon Cryer, the new season finale has Lex coming out on top instead of getting his ass handed to him again as was originally planned. I'm actually ok with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Been tough getting back into my routine on these shows after the COVID break. With that said, the last two episodes of Flash have been pretty good. I enjoy when the main villain is a bit more cerebral and forces the team to find other ways to win. Am I reading too much into this, or did Batwoman suggest that Batman killed Joker??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I agree about Flash. I've been enjoying the season in general, but they hit a nice spot the last episode or two especially. 17 hours ago, RandomAct said: Am I reading too much into this, or did Batwoman suggest that Batman killed Joker??? They all but flat out said it. Will be interesting to see if they stick with it. Kind of hope they don't as I prefer a Batman who hasn't killed, but I also have no desire to see Joker pop up in the Arrowverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Maybe they are using that to explain why Bruce left? If they are trying to tell the story that Batman crossing that line made him quit forever, then it kinda works I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I would guess, but with way they used it they also implied that it didn't necessarily stop Bruce from donning the cowl. Does make me wonder when they are going to try and move forward and where and why Bruce disappeared. I assume he will either be dead or aged up again for another Conroy appearance. Actually with them being post-Crisis now I'm curious if Clark and this Bruce have ever really met in the new timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 That's a good question. I know the Supergirl earth had a Batman, but who knows if that is ever even mentioned again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'm mostly curious since I recall they were friends on Supergirl's Earth. Its one of the reasons Kara was able to figure out who Kate was so quickly. She had already met Bruce on her world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
