Still coming out, theoretically it shouldn't have any crossover characters since the one on Krypton takes place decades earlier, and on the other side of the galaxy.

Krypton has a weird time travel plot going on where they already show Adam Strange in their trailer.

A Superman show without Clark Kent. Why waste time on this when Tiny Superman is sitting RIGHT OVER THERE.

It would be pretty great if, in the second season they introduce Clark and it's Tiny Superman.

Unless the guy that plays Jimmy on SG is announced as being on two shows, (or Jimmy is absent from the first season) that door is probably already closed. :(

Metropolis season 2: featuring Superman's boots at the edge of frame and a special guest appearance from Superman's silhouette.

So Supergirl this week just straight up did Iron Man for a few scenes and it didn't even look bad, which is highly unusual for Supergirl character and costume designs. As a result, I suspect we won't be seeing it much if ever again for the rest of the season.

The Lex Warsuit looks pretty cool.

Also, Flash literally did the same thing as they did in the Ant-Man and The Wasp trailer had in it.

I have not seen the Wasp/Ant-Man trailer yet but I've been having a good time with Flash this season. Call me crazy! Only disappointment this episode was no Killer Frost.

e: also another solid Black Lightning episode. It does have it weak points though... namely:
  • The villain seems like kind of a bitch
  • Come on, you killed the Reverend?
  • Not enough cool lightning action
Also I may be biased because I thought he could travel through lightning powers but I got that mixed up with Livewire from Supergirl and now I can't wait until he does that or I get upset that he never does that.

e2: music was solid again though not breathtaking

3 episodes in Black Lightning has one of the strongest early premieres of any superhero show I've seen. I'm pissed it's not a Netflix show so I can see the entire the entire season right now.

--Tobias? I think that's just setting up the power dynamic. LaLa, Tobias, that new woman whose name I didn't catch, they're all big dogs until we see the next level up in the organization that makes them tremble in their boots. I think it was interesting to show Tobias as just another step in the ladder so early on, we'll see if he goes back to being the major threat or gets resolved as quickly as LaLa did.
--They said he was stable.
--Semi-agreed. What I find fascinating about the show is how is's this tight drama where the lightning's just a part of it. Not enough lightning this episode, but I can't think of a single thing I'd drop to put more in.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
I guess I didn't expect Black Lightning to be so black.

Like it's real black, and like good at it too. So many shows either pander too hard or don't "get" it, the black experience or whatever. So far I haven't found myself rolling my eyes, which for a CW super people show is pretty noteworthy.

Basically what I'm saying is kudos to Khadijah's boy Scooter on his new show.

The CW was originally a merger of UPN and The WB. UPN was a pretty black network, most of those shows were jettisoned shortly after the merger but maybe they realized ignoring a huge part of the country wasn't the best idea.

I think it was more "Hey people like that Luke Cage show".
I remember UPN, without all of the black sitcoms CW has more in common with ABC Family... which is trying to be even more like CW not that it's Freeform.

The music in the last BL episode was not great. The intro theme is pretty bad and having the same guy do most if not all of the music for an episode is also pretty bad.

I'm still pissed about this as someone who watched Moesha, One on One and Girlfriends.

Girlfriends is still underrated as gently caress and fun fact, Kelsey Grammer (aka Frasier) was an executive producer on the show and helped get it greenlit.

Blackish is good but the Charmichael is now my fav underrated black sitcom that was cancelled too soon. Jay Z producing an episode of Friends (with Charmichael playing Ross) with black actors was fun tho.

I didn't give Girlfriends more than a half an episode, felt like a watered down Living Single, and Tracee Ellis Ross got on my nerves(though she's great in Blackish so I guess I was wrong)

Black Friends on the other hand had an amazing cast. As much as I don't care for Friends, I'll watch anything with Lakeith Stanfield.

Anything but Death Note.

Hey, fellas. I've been waiting for that Madman movie Robert Rodriguez has been sitting on the rights to ever since 2003 or so. I remember when it was rumored to star the actor from one of the biggest movies of 2002, which made me think it could be Johnny Depp (the very first Pirates, which was actually a great stand-alone movie) or Elijah Wood (LotR: The Two Towers), either of whom could have been a great Madman back then.
