Black Lightening was pretty good. I like the feel and way it plays out and I am expecting some kind of origin story to be interwoven in future episodes. I wonder if they will do flashbacks like Arrow. Flash was pretty painful and I had a hard time watching the court scenes and how much everyone on team Flash (especially Barry) acted like complete idiots. It's hard to root for any characters on this show at the moment. Except for Caitlyn/Killer Frost.

I'm gonna wait a few episodes before checking out BL. CW app usually has multiple episodes available right? How long can I wait? Madkal posted:Black Lightening was pretty good.

Unfortunately, the *characters act oddly stupid to make things "interesting"* is pretty much the default for writing TV these days.

I believe the CW app leaves stuff up for about 6 weeks but for something that is getting as much buzz as Black Lightning they might leave it up longer. Some casting announcements for The Boys, still nothing for the actual main characters though Homelander - Anthony Starr The Deep - Chace Crawford Queen Maeve - Dominique McElligott A-Train - Jessie T Usher Black Noir - Nathan Mitchell Starlight - Erin Moriarity

Actually saw The Flash. That might have been one of the worst trials I've seen on a TV show. I mean, I guess there are probably plenty of people who watch the show who have never watched a court drama in their lives, but yeesh. That felt like a kid's best guest at how a murder trial would go. Also I am expecting the Earth 15 thing to come back and bite them in the rear end down the road. Supergirl was pretty decent this week. The guy they have playing Brainiac 5 is fun, but he suffers from the same terrible makeup/costume design that has been plaguing the series from the start.

Law and Order and its spinoffs have been on TV for over 25 years. There's really no excuse for not getting the basics of a court scene right.

They actually have a competent defense of Frank, Barry's defense is just kind of non-existent. someone pointed out in the TVIV thread that Brainiac-5 was a super intelligent being that actually had social skills. Something very rare to see these days.

Yeah, usually when you have a super-intelligent character in shows they act dismissive of lower thinking, or uncomprehending of it. When Braniac misstepped it seemed more because he was distracted. It can still come across as offputting, but it didn't have the same condescension.

It's gotten a lot worse than that. Ever since House, almost every tv genius is a huge rear end in a top hat and near-autistic.

I bookmarked this years ago, because I really had no idea how much law school profs love this movie for the legitimate lessons it teaches. http://bernabetorts.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-cousin-vinny-story-about-legal.html quote:After Vinny’s girlfriend Mona Lisa bails him out for a second time after having been found in contempt, she criticizes his performance in court and tells him it is pretty clear he does not know what he is doing. She then utters one of my favorite lines in the movie: “Don’t they teach you that in law school?” Vinny’s response is just as classic: “NO! They teach you Contracts...! Obviously, the implication is that in law school they teach "law" not "how to practice law".

For a period of time my mom was a crime reporter and one of her professional acquaintances was a defense attorney who literally cited the film in his closing statement to the jury on a case.

Holy crap, Shane Black is working on a pilot for the good, proper Avengers and I may just explode with joy if he pulls it off. Just the news to perk me up after hearing that poor old Peter Wyngarde popped his clogs.

I was almost excited until I realized you meant the twerp with the bowler and umbrella paired with the domme that wears leather body suits. (I kid. Actually if they went completely over the top with it, that would own)

Considering how much I loved The Nice Guys, I cannot wait to see a Shane Black Avengers. I hope its a retro 60s mod setting, rather than modernizing it.

Man, young Ralph Fiennes was such a perfect choice to play Steed. drat shame the movie's only good by being so stupid. e: I always wonder how that movie would have turned out with better editing. They apparently cut like 40min worth of footage. esperterra fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Jan 19, 2018 |

It'd be super cool if there was latitude for them to feature characters from adjacent shows of the same period but most of them were created by another company so I know it won't happen.

The Avengers movie apparently has just whole sections of the movie not in it and they didn’t bother trying to fix the errors that leaves.
