I feel like the show’s writers don’t understand how faces work? Alice cuts off Duella’s face intact and just...lays it on top of her actual face, and that makes her look just like her (including normal lip motion and expressions), until she flicks it off and there’s her normal face with not even any blood on it. Then Read more

Something I do find a curious choice in the show is how it treats Gotham. Now, to be fair, the CW DC shows in general are not that interest in the cities, I mean there’s really nothing special about their Keystone City or Starling City beyond some scenery and it makes sense as they are not really that defined in the Read more

*Wags her finger at Alice* “Ohhhhhhhh just you know the next time you do something I’m going to throw insults at you and not try to arrest you at all, just like before.”

Kate just waltzes in to Alice’s hideout to tell her she’s done trying to save her. Yeah, cool story Kate, maybe actually DO SOMETHING? Put her in cuffs, knock her out, tell the cops and/or Crows where she is, Jesus just do ANYTHING. You can’t claim to be cutting ties with her and still just be letting her off the Read more

It’s “centered around four ordinary people who feel there’s something missing in their lives, but they can’t quite put their finger on what it is.” Then these people “stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life. Read more

There were a lot of reversals in this episode that felt abrupt even by this show’s standards, maybe suggesting some quick rewrites. Like what was up with that scene with the lie detector? “We brought a lie detector to school. But we knew none of you would take it, so only Jughead will take it. But we already know you Read more
