Archie was going to be responsible & sell one of his businesses because he can’t maintain both until he suddenly decides he can? Read more

You know, that’s kind of why I wanted Kylo Ren’s story to end without a redemption arc. Yes, he’s insecure, and vulnerable, and has been manipulated by dark forces. He’s also a violent mass murderer. He can be a sad figure but still an ultimately villainous one. Read more

I kinda loved Birds of Prey. It’s messy and goofy and fun and has a cool zigzag structure. Performances are great, the action sequences are superbly shot (better than any superhero flick in a while), I just grooved on the whole vibe of it.  Read more

Esp since a racist homophobic jerk getting a medal preempted our diverse team's adventures :( Read more

I would have preferred a Josie & the Pussycats spinoff. But maybe that is basically what this is? Read more

Having finally read A Princess of Mars, I gave John Carter a rewatch. It’s a solid adaptation! Read more

Argh, yes, so little Salem! I was hoping he would still be alive in the future to give Sabrina another buddy. Read more

God I’m fucking tired of Hiram. Not in a love-to-hate-him kind of fashion, I’m just over him and want him gone. The best antagonists are relatable in some regard, and his all-encompassing motivation of “loves money and power for the own sake” bullshit just isn’t relatable to me; doubly so his constantly picking fights… Read more

i’ve seen that they DON’T WORK, apparently  Read more

How shitty do you think the kid of the police commissioner feels, knowing his dad would rather uphold archaic, homophobic beliefs than call on extra help to save his son? Big yikes. Read more

That’s the kind of crazy I can get behind. I’m watching season 2 now and plan on starting both seasons over afterwards so my wife can see it. Maybe I will do what I did with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend during its first season when I was sure it would be cancelled and just leave the show playing even when I am not watching it. Read more

Absolutely. Nate bouncing from lady to lady on the crew made me feel like they cheapened Zari by having her fall for him. Read more

I like Zari a lot. But don’t care for Nate. Anyone feel the same way? Read more

Aw I like Mona, but I know this show kinda doesn’t have a good role for her to play to justify stick around, and I’d rather she exit and return than “disappear entirely forever” like every other exit. Read more

And Caity/Sara is leaps and bounds from where she started as a character and performance on Arrow. It’s one of the best slow burn improvements of a character I can recall in recent times. Read more

No Caity Lotz, no Legends. Who needs to watch that worse version of Arrow that’s apparently coming out soon when this is still on? Read more

I love this show in so many ways but Caity Lotz is central to all of it. It is amazing that she is the funniest character, her relationship is the most touching and important, she is the best at the stunts, and her trauma is the most impactful. But since she is the captain and team leader she helps put all the rest of… Read more

The stench of greatness does not typically linger Read more

Just finished COIE today. It’s not my favorite crossover imo (Earth X for me) but it wrapped up with a great finale. I’ve only ever kept up with the Legends so I’m biased there with Furball and Rebecca Silver showing up. Read more

Fun Fact: I watched all of that despite never having seen any of the serieses (except for Batwoman, which I’m indifferent on). The highlight? Ducky Lex Luthor.
