He's heading to Earth-2, lands on Earth-3 by mistake is like "oops, oh hi flying girl with a S on your chest!" and she replies "This isn't an S, on my planet it stands for..." and Barry just quickly jumps back in the portal with "nope don't care"

Lucifer's second episode was dece, but it's loving hilarious to me that there are now 2 shows based on Vertigo comics that have been turned into police procedurals despite the original comic having absolutely nothing to do with cops.

I'm just ignoring they're based on comics. Both are so far apart from the source material they're basically original series.

Hell, look what happened to the one show that DID stay close to it's Vertigo comic inspiration. :(

To be fair, Constantine was kinda poo poo. The main actor and Chaz were pretty good, but the writing was terrible, the new female sidekick wasn't any better than the one they poo poo-canned after the pilot and had less of a reason to even be in the show than the first one.

One, iZombie, is the best comic show on TV and is a million times better than the book it's based on. The other, Lucifer, is reportedly a fun watch but will probably never touch the book it's based on in terms of quality.

I really like iZombie, but I was a Veronica Mars fanboy so I was going to check it out regardless. I never read the comic and made the decision that I wouldn't start just so I wouldn't compare it.

Lucifer, man, there's just no way that book could ever be a TV series anyway so might as well just pretend it doesn't exist.

For some reason the biggest thing about Lucifer is that he's named Lucifer Morningstar...come on...at least just go Madonna and go with the single name. That's a little TOO on the nose. I'm waiting for the episode where his middle name is revealed to be Lucifer Lightbringer Morningstar.

iZombie isn't a comic show. It's molding a vague theme to a Rob Thomas show.

I wouldn't exactly call Lana confident. She was constantly looking forlorn and going "Clark, what am I going to do? My intense sadness can only be cured by you selflessly not pursuing me romantically to solve this dramatic situation I'm in that no sane person would care about."

The thing that always stuck in my mind about Lana was that she has a lot of spare time to drive to a rural Kansas farm two or the times an episode to say one dramatic sentence and then leave.

I kinda like that one of the only things the show keeps is that he never, ever lies about anything.

Lana's house was across the field from Clark's barn, where he would occasionally creep on her with his telescope in the early seasons.

I think the first season is pretty good. It takes a bit to get going and there's some annoying character quirks ("Hello, Megan!") but they even eventually address that.

There is a time skip in the second season, and I think that hurt the series since they introduced a lot more characters, and the ones from the first season suffer because of it. And in the end, nobody really gets a lot of time for development so they're all just very two-dimensional.

It's decent. Not bad, not great, but perfectly fine and absolutely mandatory if you care about comicbooks and superheroes. Pretty much better than any of the direct-to-dvd movies, except perhaps for Flashpoint Paradox.

Mostly this.

Season 2 wasn't god awful compared to other things that are god awful. S2 had issues, but it wasn't that much worse than S1 overall, and compared to some of the bad things DC has released since then, and compared to the current Marvel shows, it wasn't that bad at all. It is a pretty ok show with some pretty nice animation for a weekly tv series.

We have the tools, we have the talent!





The one thing to know about Young Justice, though, is that it doesn't end in a particularly satisfying way. The creators clearly planned on having at least one more season and the show basically ends on a big cliffhanger that will never get resolved. If you feel the need for a lot of closure, then Young Justice is not the show for you.

As for myself, I don't mind the time jump all that much. While its true that you get fewer character-centric episodes, I for one enjoyed the season-long meta-plot.

I think the biggest issue with yj was the that it took itself way too seriously and The Team (tm) themselves were way too angsty. Between Speedy, Superboy and Artemis the first season is almost unbearable. It gets much better towards end the first season.
