FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS

Pillowpants posted:

It's not the break..it's that the quality has gone down tremendously in the last season. Maybe it is due to COVID, but replacing Ray and Nora with Spooner and Behrad and "Zari v2" didn't really do it for me. Nate seems lost, Gary is insufferable...but at least Sara has alien dna now!

Yeah, I fuckin love this show but I didn't enjoy this season overall. There were some amazing moments but as a whole, I was super disappointed.

I want to finish Supergirl and Flash and then this show but man I’m not looking forward to any of it. At least Flash is still a few months out.

At least Supergirl can blame it on the fact that Chyler Leigh was bedridden with COVID for like 6 weeks last year.

There are enough characters in that show that losing any one of them (aside from Supergirl herself) should not have any detrimental affect on the quality. I'm not even sure I'd notice if Alex was missing for a while.

CW probably just needs SOMETHING new to air for the fall season and Legends is what they have available. They keep buying the rights to foreign shows (latest being an action show starring Tom Welling and Brendan Fraser) but they don't seem to do too well.

The new Batwoman season debuts the same day as Legends.

lol last season of Batwoman had maybe 1 good episode. I hope it gets better this season but am probably going to wait for reactions before starting to watch. Alice would be fun on the Legends, I wish they'd do a big cast shakeup.

I was hoping Taskmaster would stick at least for a season. My husband showed me episodes of it on you tube a bit before it was announced to come to cw. And they aired 1 episode haha. It's a fun show to watch drunk

It was bizarre that that happened. Usually shows don't get pulled so suddenly like that without it being absolutely dogshit in the ratings (and even then, they might just still run it on the schedule since the alternative is usually worse) or something happened behind the scenes, but it got only one episode. Idk how good the advertising for it was and idk if starting with Series 8 of all things was a good idea.

Yeah same, but I figure I can just shunt the season to Christmas or to whatever content pit the upcoming strike creates.

This season felt kinda short to me, though that might have been because I forgot how short Legends seasons usually are over the longer break last time. I'm looking forward to catching the new season as it airs.

Wentworth Miller is coming back for the 100th episode. He has said that he no longer wants to play straight characters so either the return of Leo or new Earth Captain Cold is just gay too.

I don't think they ever said Captain Cold was straight. He was flirting with Sara, but that could either mean he's bi, or that it was Sara goddamn Lance and even being gay has a limit.
I'm not sure if they've ever clarified if Ava even considered herself gay or bi, or if it's just that nobody's going to pass on Sara Lance.

I'm not saying he was flirting with Barry the whole time, but he sure as hell wasn't NOT flirting with Barry the whole time.

Happy new season day thread

EW.com has promo photos for the 100th episode and you'll never guess who they've brought back.

I'm surprised they're bringing back Hawkman without Hawkgirl but it looks like Ciara Renée's currently busy filming something else right now/probably (understandably) wants nothing more to do with the show ever again, no matter how good it got since she left. Here's hoping they can work some Vandal Savage magic on Carter Hall and turn him into a worthwhile character post-facto.

Didn't she film a web short for the show about a year ago? Caged IIRC. I've not seen it though.

She was doing a lot of stuff on Boradway the last couple of years and was Elsa in the stage version of Frozen, but then when COVID hit last year and Broadway shut down, Disney killed the production all together so she's been doing other film projects since then.
