  1. Vader Johan is so scary that I finally see Rick's usefulness.
  2. Am I the only one who actually wanted to see them all pretend to be model prisoners for an episode or two? Complete with Krypto getting paw-printed and fitted out in an orange jumpsuit?
  3. It's a good thing the bad guy died shortly after hearing Sophie loudly refer to in-costume Batwoman as "Ryan." Otherwise things might have gotten a tad awkward.
  4. They should have just given Killer Croc some Viagra. Number one way to clear up a reptile dysfunction.
  5. They can do way better for a name than Wing Man. How about "Flying Fox?" He could cover up the obvious link by speaking with an Australian accent. "Croikey! Look how aggroissive this hoidlum is!" Anyway, it's Gotham City. People there are so stupid they couldn't even figure out who Robin was, back when he was fighting crime in the same exact costume he wore as a circus performer.
  6. I really hate to question logic on this silly show, but... how exactly does Cliff eating anything work?
  7. Two main thoughts left with me from this episode. 1. I hate non-linear narrative. Oh, I don't mean an occasional flashback to give you some inormation that you didn't even know you needed yet, but when they time-jump around between episodes just to glaringly withhold explanations because they think that's being mysterious... it's just insulting to the viewer. Why couldn't they have just told the story of Jason's descent in chronological order. Okay, sure, maybe once he turned evil we wouldn't have as much to wonder about any more, but how is that worse than having to stand around "Um... when did all this resurrection shit happen?' until they finally decide to bother explaining it? Just try telling the story in order, and if the lack of mystery really hurts it that much, then perhaps also try telling the story better. and 2. Molly knew where Jason was staying when he was with the Titans? How do any of these people have secret identities? I mean, at least Superman pretends to have a different address than Clark Kent...
  8. The pilot wasn't all bad, but it wasn't all good either. This one marks the return of the show that I loved.
  9. This one was hard to get through. Oh, I loved everything Zsasz. Whether he was shooting at people, getting his ass kicked, or just sitting around talking, I enjoyed literally every moment of him. I also enjoyed all two or three minutes of Barbara. And the only thing missing from Penguin's gleeful rant was him eating a box of popcorn. But the rest of it? Ivy's big environmentalist plan is to pollute? Not to, oh, I don't know... maybe just keep on enslaving all the humans, force them to make themselves useful cleaning shit up like Lucius was, recycle the surplus population into fertilizer, and have a nicer cleaner island to be plant queen on? I also could have done without Bruce developing the Christian Bale voice at the end. But worse than that... I hate dream episodes. Nothing that happens in them has any real stakes. I mean, were we seriously supposed to wonder if Gordon was going to die or not? The outcome was a given, plus it was boring. Plus... I'm really not that invested Lee and Gordon as a couple. And why the hell was Bullock performing the ceremony anyway? What is he, a sea captain?
  10. Funny thing is... we are taking away the lesson that Negan and Lucille were a selfish white trash couple who considered themselves to be the stars of any TV show that they happened to be on, and... okay, I suppose they guessed that one right... But I don't think the writers are telling that story. Just like a few seasons ago they did not understand how problematic the infamous "nut-tapping lesson" was, in this case I think they are honestly just so clueless about how hyoo-mons act that they seriously just looked at it like... "Well, he's a really tough guy who can beat people to death. How do we know this? Well, how do hyoo-mons learn how tough they are? Unless 20th century Hollywood was making shit up, then... bar fights! But he has to be a good guy, so, um... (insert stupid fucking background story that we already heard...)"
  11. Yes, but in Negan's defense, there is no other possible way that you can listen to music. The only way to hear any song is to go to a bar, play it on the jukebox, and demand that every single other patron shut the hell up because you are too stupid to figure out how to play music in your own house.
  12. I still can't believe it was actually more boring than "Carl Loses a Shoe and Eats Pudding."
  13. By far the worst thing about it is Death. I know they can't have Christopher Lee, but seriously... this?
  14. I only have two questions. Who the hell wrote that, and why? I didn't even finish it, I was so bored. And I've sat through a hell of a lot of boring episodes. But this one kicked my ass.
  15. Alice and her ridiculous bat-plot belonged in one of the Tim Burton movies.
  16. Unless you actually own the dojo you aren't going to pay your bills by teaching martial arts anyway. As I recall, the secondary instructors are given perks such as free membership, but little or no actual money. Every single one them that I can remember had at least one full time job in addition to teaching classes there.
  17. Mouse is probably embalmed. As for rigor mortis, it's only a temporary phenomenon. The part I'm wondering about is how Ryan is going to establish as strong a relationship with Alice as Kate had. I fear it will be more like: "You killed my mother!" "Can you be more specific? I kill a lot of people's mothers. Who are you again?" "I'm your worst enemy!" "Bitch, please. You're not my nemesis. Now get rid of that silly costume before my actual nemesis comes back and sees you."
  18. I'm only five episodes in. Thus far, I think it's mostly been a step down from the previous seasons. Splitting the group up was an interesting experiment, but I don't think it actually paid off. Too much of the camp was either overly-long body function gags or was about short-term side characters who I don't tune into the show to see. The trans girl wasn't a bad character. Neither was Nick's other friend. But they were there instead of utilizing the main cast, because I guess even the writers knew that the main cast wasn't doing anything funny or interesting. And those anxiety mosquitoes are annoying as fuck. They ruin every scene that they're in. Why does every single thing need to have its own supernatural entity? These kids have been manufacturing their own anxieties just fine for three seasons without any need for additional characters to show up and claim to be the cause of it. All the mosquitoes really do is add more unnecessary moving parts to the scenes that they're in. So far the best thing has been Missy and her relatives, Jay and Lola, and the future Nick dream. But I'm just not constantly amazed through each episode the way I used to be.
  19. Can we watch "The Watch" instead? it looks way better.
  20. So where there's smoke there's fire, but evidently that rule does not apply the other way around.
  21. I guess the genius thing kind of rules out that hypothesis, though.
  22. Oh, fuck me with a rusty sweet potato... she's a daughter of Rick Grimes, isn't she?
  23. That was actually a pretty good ending. Somebody's about to get fired from the writing room.
  24. I'm just going to guess that there's pirate treasure buried under the campus. It makes as much sense as anything. I mean, those giant sandwiches don't pay for themselves, you know?
  25. I can't believe I'm watching two hours of this. I don't think Bud Lite's gonna carry me through. I'm switching over to rum.
