Season 1 was great in this regard. Then in Season 2, it's as if the writers received a directive from CW executives along the lines of "MUST HAVE STUPID DRAMA IN ORDER TO APPEAL TO OUR TEENAGE AUDIENCE" and they just went with it. It has been a bit better this season, except for the whole Cisco thing. It's just so out of the character for him to carry so much angst. It really drags the show down.

Yes, I loved S1 and they lost me during after the mid-season break of S2 for precisely the reason you lay out. And that sucks re: Cisco. His character was one of the consistently enjoyable parts of the show.

Zzulu posted:And yeah I saw the CGI sharkman, it was lame as hell. If you're gonna introduce a CGI shark then do something cool with it They do. In a season two episode they go full Jaws and have Flash fight King Shark in a quote filled battle in/on the water. The CGI was pretty phenomenal for a "lame" TV show.

And even if it wasn't you'd still have to suffer through S2 Flash to see it.

They're just the worst. They want every show to be about people bitching at each other and nothing else.

muscles like this! posted:Apparently EP Jeffrey Bell has stated in an interview that Ghost Rider is kind of expensive, so don't expect to see him back soon/become a regular. Also Ghost Rider's departure doesn't mean the end of the magical stuff as a big part of Aida's motivation is she wants to find the Darkhold and keep using it. This makes me really sad, I really liked both the character and the actor. One full episode of shotgun-axe Ghost Mack would have been pretty neat though!

Phylodox posted:Jane the Virgin is good, at least. And Crazy Ex-girlfriend because I can relate to the characters. Also, Cisco is different because of Flashpoint. The CGI bounces between great for TV to bad for a video game. Some of it looks like it was done by the same group that did Blade 3.

My local ABC affiliate in Portland is no longer going to be carried by my cable company. When do new episodes show upon Hulu, and how long are they available?

Can't remember if it's all episodes or just the most recent 5. It's not part of the no-commercial plan, so they're is a commercial before and after the show. It can detect ad-blockers.

Mage_Boy posted:Most local ABC channels still broadcast OTA so it's also worth seeing if you can get a signal the old fashioned alway. Yeah, I'm considering my options there. I do have an old TiVo lying around that can do OTA I think. I am just not willing to watch tv live all that often, so unless I can dvr it, a streaming solution is required.

I guess this is back tonight. Looks like they got a new intro now that the Ghost Rider arc is done. wait hold on, didn't Aida read the whole Darkhold? I guess not since he still needs it. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jan 11, 2017 |
