  1. I'm sorry but I find pretty much everything with the DEO dreary. 

     

    James is hot, Supergirl seems legitimately interested. But I'm not sure why she'd love him rather than just screw him. Also, I'm not dating either and the show's not going soft porn either, so the love story isn't doing it for me yet. 

     

    I'm surprised how effectively Grant was used in this. Her implication Kara was on a track for a big career was interesting. 

     

    Metal bending like putty when she squeezed too hard was a lovely touch. Very CBS, I think. Most of us want to suspend disbelief, but it's so nice when they help us out with getting some details right. 

     

    Winn's mad sewing skills are definitely not butch, but he's definitely straight. And he's the only character who seems likely to be interested in Krypton. Most intriguing character by far. 

     

    In the end, though, you have to be invested somehow in the lead. Melissa Benoist is more like Grant Gustin thatn Stephen Amell, but she's working for me so far. Coming back, despite the DEO.

     

    Completely agree on the DEO. I really hope the evil eye bit at the end will lead to her sister leaving the DEO and joining her new gang of helpers.

     

    Agree on Jimmy Olsen too, yeah we get it he's very handsome and he's a good guy, any chance you could flesh him out and make him somewhat like a real boy now?

     

    And yes I too am coming back for Melissa Benoist. She's a hero I want to root for every week.

  2. Unless I completely missed it, no. They just act like crazy people, but we haven't gotten an explanation as to why. Or why they put the W on their forehead. I know it means wolves, but why is it on their foreheads?

     

    Because stuff happens people in the ZA and they end up messed up like Morgan was. Most people don't get saved by a zen cheesemaker and his goat so they stay crazy. We don't really need a back story for every crazy threat thats out there, we have enough info to explain why people can end up like that.

  3. Now Morgan is trying to live by a practice that really hadn't been I think his new-found faith is crumbling in the face of that reality. I think that's why he locked the door on the wounded wolf. I believe that Morgan is going to come around. We don't actually know whether or not he was going to tell Carol or Maggie about his prisoner because suddenly Rick is shouting at the gate. Personally, I think he would have told them. I think at heart Morgan is a decent, brave man; I think he's been handicapped by his isolation and again by his time with Eastman, who basically was still fighting his own demons. At least he's now self-aware enough to see that maybe he needs to rethink his peace-at-all-cost stance. I really believe that he's going to find his balance.

     

    I agree with all this. Morgan is back at square one. He couldn't kill his zombie wife and his son died as a result. Can he actually allow this wolf to kill the people of ASZ? I think the loss of his son and the responsibility he feels for that will over power his debt to Eastman and even his own coping mechanism. The question then is what sort of state is Morgans mind in if he doesn't have this naive pacifism to hang on to? Can he function without it?

    And wouldn't it be nice if the show gave a some kind of clue as to why they're psychopaths?

     

    Didn't we just get 90 minutes of that?

  4. Best hardly noticeable, but quite funny, moment of the episode..... "Oh, the (cell) door is unlocked - it never was locked, in fact.  You are very free to come and go as you please, because for some dumb reason I think I can 'trust' you."  *..... and then proceeds to lock his own bedroom door every night*

     

    Thats because he doesn't trust him. He knows when he's awake he can defend himself against him so having the cage unlocked is safe.

  5. I'm not sure if anyone has addressed this yet, but if I understand Eastman's story correctly, he kidnapped Creighton Dallas Williams (not sure about spelling) from the roadside duty before the ZA had happened. Then he starved him to death for 46 days. Then he decides to go back to town to turn himself in to the police, but the ZA is in full swing and there are no police. My question is, if everyone has the virus or whatever causes people to turn when they die, then wouldn't Creighton have turned after he starved to death? And how would Eastman have known what to do with him if he didn't know what was happening in the world? Would he have buried Creighton before he turned, which would make him buried "alive" as a walker?

     

    Well he doesn't say he immediately felt all his feels and returned to town. I suppose there had to be some sort of time in between the 2 incidents.

  6. I was a little disappointed with this. I thought all the stuff with her sister and her little government secret alien busting organisation was awful. Is there anything more boring than watching our (super)hero be lectured about how they shouldn't use their super powers?

  7. Doesn't really matter, they're all infected. 

     

    I believe it's only walker saliva that kills you - ala the fever and all that. 

     

    They're all infected but anyone whos been bitten has had a quickened death as a result. This certainly asks a question about getting blood, etc in your blood.

  8. So Ricks hand. Is he going to have to chop it off like Hersels leg?


    The producers have always said that they need to kill main characters to advance the storyline. That's why I don't think that Glenn is dead. His death would do nothing to advance the storyline, other than show that zombies are really dangerous and that Nicholas is an asshole. I would hope that they wouldn't waste the death of an Episode 1 character in such a useless way. While I understand that practically every character may die at some point, I would want the fan favorites to go out in a courageous blaze of glory.

     

    I think allowing a core character to go out in such a seemingly senseless way would be amazing. Its so much more interesting than him dying to save Maggie or something hackneyed like that.

  9. The only thing I liked about the First Daughter sex tape story was that it shined a big ole light on the sexism and hypocrisy that runs so rampant in TV land and real life. What Karen did was hugely irresponsible (hooray for Olivia's reference to the doc doing a proper exam and the safe sex talk!) but Mellie was spot on in saying that the boys in the threesome wouldn't have been under the same type of scrutiny.

    Sure if some no one in a frat was caught on tape in a threesome they'd probably get high fives all round from their idiot friends. If the Presidents highschool age son was caught high on drugs, drunk and in a sex tape of a threesome it'd be a massive scandal that would define his life too.

  10. I like Aiden Gillen as an actor and he's seemed nice when I've seen him at an annual music festival here in Ireland, even took pictures with us etc, so I do have a soft spot for the guy but what the hell is going on with his accent? He sounds like a posh pirate.

  11. Its kind of outrageous that Skys Premier League coverage doesn't get nominated for Sport and Live Event. There is nothing the BBC does with Sport that is close to that level, certainly not their Wimbledon coverage. And their Glastonbury coverage is getting less interesting too, true they show more live performances but I want more features that show the Glasto experience like they used to have and more sessions on set, etc.

  12. I quite enjoyed this. There was a lot of set up to be done that sort of left character development for later but it was pretty funny. Now I have worked in Intel as a web designer so I did get a lot of jokes that were flying over my girlfriends head. Maybe there is a little too much specifity here for a lot of people?

    I really don't get the whole "oh another show about dudes" arguments though. HBOs got 4 half hour comedys now and of the other 3 only one is a male fronted show and thats Louie. And everyone loves Louie.

  13. I was a boy in the 80s and while the homage was well done and I enjoyed spotting a lot of toys I had as a child I found the episode a bit lacking. It wasn't that funny and the Jeff is upset over turning 40 poignancy they were going for never hit for me.

  14. As I said in my post, I don't believe that Raylan would ACTUALLY be party to any action that would put Ava in real danger, but even making the idle threat is very out of character for him, I think.

    I think its just another step on a slipperly moral slope he's been going down. He's no longer the classic white hat he was at the start.

  15. The explanation is that they trap people, kill, and eat them. The people crying for help in the other freight carriers when Rick and the others were running certainly did not volunteer to be locked up like cattle any more than Rick's group did.

    My worry is that they don't trap, kill and eat people but instead trap, eat and kill people. Thats much scarier.
