An alright dude.
Kevin Smith directs the way film students think that they'd like to direct. That's about it. He's kind of a lovely director and the only reason he hasn't faded into obscurity is because he won't shut the gently caress up about how Kevin Smith he is.


I thought it was a good episode and Flash was good to. He obviously has a love for DC characters though.

I understand the whole "let's bring the tech-guy along to make sure we can get back." But I don't really understand why she didn't leave someone to guard him.

It was pretty cool! I hope Alex keeps the alien gun. In fact, it'd be nice if the DEO had more and more sci-fi weapons rather than look like any other type of SWAT team.

That was the writers' doing. Smith's lone contribution to the script was tossing Chris Wood the line "Start the car!"

You realize that the writers, show runners, and episode directors on a show have conversations and input during the entire process, right?

It's the CW. You keep secrets until someone ~falls in love~ with you then you tell them and they get mad at you for a couple episodes and then you're back together or you die.

I looked at it as "this is what happens when your viewers may have started watching because they heard about Alex and Maggie and decided to skip season 1."

I don't know whether Alex and Maggie managed to overcome the CW cycle yet or whether Maggie's supposed to have a reveal of her own later.

nooneofconsequence posted:

Or at the very least get Winn making Guardian armors for the rest of the DEO that look different enough for Maggie to not recognize them and thus not demand them for NCPD as well!

Come to think of it, Alex didn't even demand to supervise James/Winn in return for keeping their secret back since "The Darkest Place"...

Man, I thought this episode was way, way better than last week's. Not that last week's was particularly sub-par or anything but this one really evoked a lot of my favorite types of moments from season 1.

James' rationales are still pretty dumb, which makes me really really glad that the episode didn't end with Kara going "Lol wow you really should do this, I now see the error of my ways because of the power of friendship or something :downs:." I really like that she refused to endorse this situation by working alongside them. I would've liked it more if she had outright stopped him by, like, throwing that suit into a volcano or something...but I am kind of resigned to the fact that they're gonna force this plot through for the long haul.

Mon-El is great.

Next week looks awesome, too.

I know this will never happen, but I'd dearly love an episode that was built around Kara being a reporter. Like she uncovers that LexCorp is polluting the river or corruption at city hall. It'd be a nice change of pace and help sell the "I'm a reporter now!" arc

Anybody else thinks she spends too much time wearing the suit? During the scene when she and Mon-el were training at DEO and he was in street clothes she didn't need to be rocking the suit. She at least needs another slightly more casual suit for hanging at the DEO.

That's not a bad idea.

Has anyone else noticed how vague they are about Mon's powers? Like, what can he actually do?
