Also, so after this week's ep, does anybody else think "Nora Allen" is actually Meloni Thawne? Seems like it'd be a twist out of a bad soap opera. Chances are they'll explain that something changed about Thawne and his feelings are more surrogate-related than blood, showing a softer side to a guy that brutally murdered a woman because he took his OC cosplay too seriously. |

Well sure, we probably shouldn't expect that from a show where one whole season's big bad was the hero's mentor who just so happened to be his archenemy from the future (and descendant of the hero's love interest's current boyfriend) hiding in plain sight, where the next season's big bad did the exact same thing, where the third season's big bad was a time remnant of the main character who was mad at him for reasons and came back to torture him, and where the big bad of the 4th season was only defeated by the last-second intervention of the hero's adult daughter (allegedly) from the future.
The Arrowverse would never resort to bad soap.  |

Point taken.
I just think it's too much of a stretch, even for a show with Plastic Ma--I mean, Elongated Man. It'd hardly be worth what little novelty or surprise would be in the reveal. It just seems so...stupid and pointless.
...oh, wait, this is a DC property...
Okay, you're probably right.

I have a great idea for a storyline for the Flash, and it's all mine. So Barry is having trouble dealing with all his sad issues in life, like having superpowers, and goes to a high-tech mental health facility. But while there, he snaps and accidently kills Iris, Felicity, Alex, the Martian Useless Hunter, SG, Crisco, his "daughter", and a few other randos. Then he goes ahead five days in time and murders his future self, as one does. Then..

-I get that Kara is wanted in the U.S., but what about the rest of the planet? Granted, there are probably countries that heard "she" attempted to murder the President, but I don't think they've mentioned how other countries reacted to Supergirl. But it's been a while since they had her go international anyway, so I guess if it's out of the writers' minds, it should be out of ours.
-Okay, cute moment of her elbowing that purse-snatcher "by accident". Though I think she would've been more convincing if she moved her arm forward a little. Also would've lessened the impact on the guy's face so it wouldn't cave in, but whatever.
-Jimmy with heat vision. ...didn't think the powers he'd get would be so much like the Supers, since I think the Black-K affected other people differently, but not a big deal, I guess.
-Yeah, a barely-trained vigilante can totally handle an entire metropolitan city's crime solo. That scene where the little girl asks Dreamer to help make her bed was...just really awkward to show off how innocent things were. That bit where they jukebox suddenly played "American Woman" was...ugh...more hackneyed than when they played "Dragula" on The Flash.
-Deputizing the Friends of Humanity...I mean, the Children of Liberty...just feels like one of those ideas that's really outlandish, even in a show about an alien that gets powers from the sun. Maybe because they're also trying to ground the themes of the show in real-life issues...which is something this does not do very well.
-James' psychic trauma journey...part of me wants to suggest that bullies that'd lock a kid in a coffin because he said they should respect his recently deceased soldier Dad is another outlandish piece of writers trying too hard in all the wrong ways...but I could see some kids being just that cruel.
-So they'll try and close the societal divide by Kara Danvers interviewing Dreamer because she's half-human. Not a bad idea, conceptually, but I don't find Dreamer particularly interesting. And her rambling about being Gryffindor and loving s'mores doesn't help. "I'm not strong, Dreamer is strong for talking like she's listing details off her Facebook profile." Riiiight. The importance on this character doesn't feel very earned. Are we sure she isn't being written by James Tynion IV?
-The fighting in the dark felt like they were trying to be "fun-goofy", but it just felt really cheesy. Not in the fun way.
-Lex' pseudonym might've seemed clever to the writers. It's not. It seems like something beneath him, and not just because it means his sister could figure it out.
-Spike-arm woman kills Liberty-guy's wife. That doesn't make me more invested. Neither does their kid maybe rethinking being a witless bigot.
-Could've done spent a bit more time on sand-ghost Man-Father's lip-synch.

Oh, come on now, it wasn't...all that...no sorry, (snort), it WAS that bad. Actually, it was worse. Just when you think Stupidgirl can't get any dumber, it says "hold my beer". Of the above, for brevity's sake, I'll only comment on one. The bit with the kid was colossally stupid. They spent a fair amount of time earlier in the season establishing WHY Agent Mustache Twirler, (AKA Stache), and his kid would hate aliens. And they were believable if not good reasons. Whatever, the point being here the stupid kid just sees some rando other kid he pretends to know, (because hey, they didn't bother establishing THAT). Here I must point out yet again that JMS at the least KNEW how Babylon Five was going to end five seasons later when he STARTED the damn show, and planted the seeds for many of his later story beats in some cases YEARS before they came to fruition, and yet the clowns who write Stupidgirl can't even foreshadow this little thing a few episodes in advance. |

So....Brainiac is lecturing Stache about the Constitution...a guy who owes no allegiance to it, and broke it seven ways to Sunday. Hint, dumbest smart guy around, the Constitution isn't whatever you make up as you go because it suits you; if it was, Stache could do that too. And Stache, "enhanced interrogation" isn't legal, and just saying it is doesn't make it. Unless of course the Woke Universe operates on different terms. Also, damn, I know it's woke, but the statistical likelihood of everyone on the show being lesbian is near zero.
Also, Jimmy, the Martian Uselesshunter, and "Look, the transgender wing is here marking more wokeness" are all on the government's most wanted list. Or at least they would be if the Woke Universe operated under normal rules. But I suppose it operates under Woke Universe rules. BTW, Wokegirl, you are NOT an American citizen.
So, let me get this straight, the "heroes" all commit crimes in this episode, (and oh yes, Stache was marginally right in insisting to Brainy that the aliens sheltering the killer are guilty of accessory after the fact even if he was wrong that he could torture him. Also, his DEO men are all now fired for "following their conscience" after the least inspirational speech Dreamer gave since the last one. Because you know, refusing lawful direct order tends to be frowned upon. And...how did Lena not know that Miss Plot Device didn't have 10,000 of her best buddies outside when she threatened her? And why did Wokegirl go back to fry those pictures when she knew they were about to be blown up anyway? To pose heroically? To show the audience how emotionally effected she was by the pictures?
And Jimmy is also wanted for encouraging the attempted murder of Stache. Because how the hell did Jimmy know that throwing Stache through an oil tanker truck wouldn't kill Stache? After all, it's not like that serum was shown to give consistent results.
And why did the kid take a sudden heel turn, (well, the Wokegirl writers probably think its a face turn)? They still give it no build-up, and the kid acts about as naturally as Hilary Clinton at a Japanese robotic convention. If you want to write a character who's struggling with a moral dilemma, you want to give said dilemma a great build-up than none whatsoever.
And now I want to drop an asteroid on Alex. Damn, she's getting on my nerves! Adopt that puppy and kill it with stupidity and neglect and than get back to merely being useless and mostly annoying; you don't have to go for completely annoying. And how expensive IS Jon Cryer these days? I suppose his quote went up after Two and a Half Men?
There ARE better ways to mourn Hillary's loss you know, writer idiots. Ever try therapy? I hear it works wonders on the most screwed up idiots; you should feel right at home.
On the scale of 1 to My Mother the Car, this one rings in at a sterling Manimal. Even worse than My Mother the Car.
