Agreed with the question about wondering why Sarah's mourning everyone who knew her before the boat, and forgetting her mom is still alive? Also, I'd love to see how someone explained to the President exactly how Oliver made this big sacrifice. It was a lovely speech, but literally no one else really should have realized the magnitude of the threat, right?

Am I the only one who wonders things like: How did the Paragons eat for all those months?

I think I'm just hate watching this show now.

If this family were real, I'd lobby for every last one of them to be sterilized. What a horrible, selfish group. There's no reasonable rationale for them having stretched this out another year.

I'm a year younger than Bow; I was in sixth grade and coming back from lunch, headed for Science class when, like bybrandy, my teacher came rushing out, ushered me into the classroom and told my friend to get to her class. And much like Bow, I was a tween who just didn't fully grasp what had happened. My teacher was obviously shaken up by it and I knew it was serious, but I just wasn't as shaken as the grown-ups. So this episode was very real to me and right on target.

I ended up treating the show like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book and just followed everything with Sam and Joanna, skipping over everyone dancing except Jenna Dewan. I'm down with musicals, because the song, lyrics and the emotions in the performances can help further a story. Jamming songs into a show for people to lip sync to didn't work for me. Often, it just threw me right out of the story.

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum, or if the topic has already been created, but I can't be the only person who wants to talk about this weird-ass Netflix show full of people lip syncing in random dance breaks? I'm three episodes in and kind of hate Nellie.

It clicked for me after the third episode; by the last episode, I absolutely loved it.

Re: Episode 7, Godspell: In the interest of full disclosure, I skipped right on past regressing a bunch of grown adults back to their 17-year-old selves. Beyond that, I thought this cast was maybe the most talented of those reunited thus far. Setting the story in the Harlem Renaissance made for some gorgeous costuming and an amazing set.

I think it could also be because it's a hard watch. Nobody's likable, and every scene with Mitch makes me feel like I need a chemical shower afterward. There have only been a handful of scenes of this team actually being a team. Jennifer and Reese are killing it, but it's just nonstop with everyone stabbing one another in the back. I'm surprised they're able to get any shows done. There's no one to root for.

I don't think so - the impression I got was Manny as a child was mature in many ways as a byproduct of being "the man" of the house, whose mother worked multiple jobs to provide. College Student Manny is an affected, entitled douche bag. SIDENOTE: I'm all for body positivity, but Alex's cleave was crazy on display for a Christmas dinner.

If the new company taking over is anything like the new showrunners who took over this season, everyone other than Amy is doomed.

Hey! Jessica had to learn to get the stick out of her ass and stop bringing down everyone else! I totally did not see that coming. Never would have guessed. Nope. I did like seeing everyone in Jessica Town garb, though. Gorgeous costumes.

Ed Weeks as Brit!Greg Otto was perfect casting.

Yeah, the sheer costs of all these backyard dramatics definitely seem out of bound for a vet, party planner and unemployed musician who apparently lost all DJ knowledge as soon as she moved to San Fran!

Are the writers aiming to make this show extremely depressing? Because that's what they're doing.

On Neptune.

I wanna say Sherry dumped Manny around the end of last season, but I gotta be honest, it's all an unfunny blur now. Claire quit the job due to the Russian porn scandal helping her realize she wasn't into it, after fighting to succeed her dad and selling the company, of course. Yeah, Cam has been shown to have been pretty successful as a coach.

The 35-year-old jock who got super excited about Boxing Day, and is in the far left of the front row of the choir at the end. So do we think this will be the END of CB crushing on Lani, or that this is setting up for the inevitable Barry/Lani final FINAL breakup and for something to happen next season?

"What does this mean? Are you going to be our triplet?" delighted me. I found Will traipsing off for Christmas with Angie after his girlfriend's challenge in the Thanksgiving episode to be surprising.

Ahhh, finally, the episode where Roxy becomes just as insufferable and obnoxious as the rest of them. And you know what this show really needed? More insufferable and obnoxious people, so thanks to the writers for bringing her parents back. Yes, I realize she has issues that suddenly came roaring back in an episode and a half, but this show does as well, considering how thoroughly annoying the rest of the characters are. Leon: "I feel like I'm everyone's father, but no one's dad." Because you are, ya' damn sociopath. The actor who plays Tim did a great job with the coming-out scene. Really, I think I just keep tuning in for him and Isaac.

What a pack of horrible, horrible people. Especially Gloria and Manny.

Ronnie up there on stage, trying to blend in with the kids but looking like he's applying for AARP benefits after the concert, will never not distract me.

Which I get. But what I'm saying is, this HUGE crossover has been teased for years. And now we've ended up with just the six paragons (including a rando we just met), Lex and Oliver at the end, when there's no real reason why the very powerful Pariah couldn't have sent all 18 people on the ship out to the Vanishing Point. It just feels like contrived conflict, much like saddling us with Lex for at least another episode, instead of Kingdome Come Superman.

Exactly. Pariah could have also teleported Clark, Lois, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin, Diggle, Mia, Mick, Jefferson, Jonathan and Ralph off the ship, one would think.
