Iris got almost all of the required CW-drama (at least half a Supernatural is standard in CW contracts, though Arrow got assigned extra), leaving everyone else to be happy and dorky.

omg chael crash posted:I've only watched the first episode and now my girlfriend wants to watch it all, can we get enjoyment out of it? Does it turn out alight? They have trouble finding the line they want to walk between "serious cop drama" and "1960s Batman." For example Fish spends her early screentime trying to be Eartha Kitt and it just doesn't work. Most of the characters find their stride though, and as long as you aren't expecting something marvelous it's pretty watchable. Penguin's the star of the show, and Bruce finds a balance between "traumatized kid" and "methodical future Batman detective". Just every once in a while you get a scene that doesn't mesh with the rest of the show (and isn't supposed to be discordant) and there's one of the early episodes where it felt like two different writers were alternating scene and trying to force the show into gritty or camp. All in all it was enough to get me to give it a chance next season, but it's not one I'm making my calender for.

It was definitely more intact than Quake's. I first thought someone got Tripp'd too, and if it turns out in the full episode that DID happen I would believe it.

Rhyno posted:I decided to give Gotham another shot, I originally made it to episode 6 before bailing. I'm not on episode 12 and jesus does this poo poo every get any better? "Better"? No, but it does get a bit more consistent. They manage to find a balance point between grit and camp while in the early stuff it feels like two different shows going on at the same time. Aside from Fish, she always feels like she's out of step with the rest of the cast.

greatn posted:I like that they made the new TV Mr Terrific gay even though I realize they probably did that so voters would not see him as a threat to Olicity and thus immediately distrust and dislike him. He never said he was gay, just that he had a husband. He could still be bi and derail the Olicity ship.

Medullah posted:I can buy aliens, super powered super soldiers, a gamma ray infused monster, but it just crosses the line and I can only suspend my disbelief so much when a scene begins with someone rolling out of bed to answer a phone and seeing it not charging. I find such things just as jarring (I have a bad habit of counting bullets, it never ends well.) but at the same time it's fascinating to look at where the line is. Suspension of disbelief has its own uncanny valley. Someone over on TVIV pointed out that nobody ever says "goodbye" in phone conversations and I just KNOW that's gonna bug me now too.

ToastyPotato posted:It's been a while since I have seen Cap Cold's first episode, but does he actually kill multiple people at some point? That has been my only hang up with the character, since it goes against every portrayal I have seen of him so far. I've always thought of him as a villain with a strict code of honor. It would be better if I was remembering it wrong, but I feel like he definitely killed at least one cop. His main thing is that he avoids unnecessary killing in the show. He iced one guy when finding out how fast Flash was (answer: not quite fast enough), I think the closest he got to mass-murder was the train scene, but he was pretty sure Flash could save them all while giving him cover to escape.

muscles like this? posted:As for the show in general, the first season is kind of rough as they didn't really know what they wanted to do and had pacing issues because the episode count kept changing. Second season is much better as they're committing to a lot of crazy stuff introducing more outlandish villains. The first half of the season had an evil billionaire who was secretly a member of the Order of Dumas causing havoc throughout Gotham by funding criminals. The second half, which just started is now about Hugo Strange (played by BD Wong) running Arkham as well as a secret lab under the asylum where's he's running experiments on people (with the implication that he's creating supervillains.) Wong plays a better Strange than I expected, too. Not a race thing, but rather that I didn't think he was a character who could translate well to live action. Their shift from "procedural with camp Batman elements" to "camp Batman with procedural elements" gave him a niche, though.

Die Laughing posted:I love that Mark Hamil is filming Star Wars, but is still sending Kevin Smith emails asking if the Trickster is going to be in his episode. I picture him half heartedly swinging a lightsaber for millions of dollars, wistfully thinking about wearing colorful tights while annoying the Flash on network television. I still think half the energy he put into his first CW Trickster appearance came from "whole hours of nobody talking to me about Star Wars!"

wyntyr posted:Anyone want to take bets on who dies during tomorrow's Agents of Shield season finale? My best friend thinks it'll be Fitz or Simmons since the show seems to actively abhor them being happy; I personally am hoping Lincoln counts as a "member of the team" so that he can go be boring somewhere else. My cynical hunch is soldier "suddenly got a name, speaking role and rocket launcher" from the Kree episode.

*shrug* I like it. As far as what the seasons are like, some spoilers for general flow: Season 1: kinda bland macguffin-of-the-week stuff first half until the mid-season Hydra reveal, then it's the Main Team salvaging what they can as the rest of Shield falls apart, scrambling to keep previous-episode macguffins out of Hydra's hands, and fighting cyborg supersoldiers. Season 2: Shield is now "dead", running in the shadows to clean up Hydra remnants. The Main Team comes into conflict with more survivors of the schism who formed their own Shield. Artifacts Hydra is pursuing lead the team to a hidden colony of Inhumans, the leader of whom is Skye's mother and has her own motives to she keep her people safe. Season 3: Terrigen is out in the wild, Shield is back in a "working for the President but secretly" fashion, and they're trying to find people who turn into Inhumans and help them before they hurt anyone or bad guys capture them. The Secret Warriors are assembled, and everyone tries to stop an ancient Inhuman who's going to kill everyone he can't brainwash. I mean, it's not fine art.

X-O posted:The CW website probably has the best streaming capabilities of any network (cable excluded). It's very easy to watch something there. I don't think anyone is getting screwed here. It's not like they require you to sign in with a cable company login like other sites. My only quibble is that if I want to check whether I missed an end-of-episode stinger or anything I need to sit through the entire episode's allotted commercials, and they repeat themselves.

I think it was Season 2 of Leverage where they were in Portland but pretending it was still Boston, led to a lot of those for me. Though the most jarring was a S5 episode they filmed on my old college campus. I think I recognized every wall, doorframe and tree of that episode, they didn't do much to disguise it.

Ideal for me would be something like Steam or iTunes, where I can just worry about one wrapper and then purchase the stuff in there a la carte. Of course setting that up in the first place is a logistical nightmare. Steam's actually a good analogue, since people keep trying to break off and have their own wrapper like Origin, uPlay, or Windows Live. Various levels of success, but they all run into the problem of "but I just got Steam working the way I like it, why are you making me set up new stuff?"

SonicRulez posted:I know nobody asked for my hot take on it, but I thought YJ S1 was great. S2 did a really unnecessary time skip that I think threw off the pacing of everything. Gave us loads of characters that couldn't get developed in the short amount of time. The plot was a bit silly. But it wasn't trash or anything. Honestly that moment in S1 where all the characters have their lies revealed and they just talk it out instead of going all melodrama made the entire thing worth it to me. "So who wants to admit their big secret next?" "I guess I will." "I swear I was joking." Personally I'd rate it "worse than BTAS, but that's an awfully high bar." It had stuff I liked and stuff I didn't. S2 time skip aside, I thought the Cabal pulled off one of the better "even if we lose we win" schemes I've seen from shows that have tried it.

The show is more grounded, but the main characters are just as insane as they are in previous incarnations which makes it feel even wilder in a grounded world. Yeah, that was pretty dang spectacular. "That's the hero's journey. That's why they get up in the morning; to go mano a monomyth with the darkness." may be one of my new favorite lines of anything.

ToastyPotato posted:Fury had a secret project to use Kree blood (taken from a dead Kree) to resurrect a dead Avenger. Fury opted to use it on Coulson because he considered him part of the team and he was the first one to fall. It was a super secret program that almost no one in SHIELD knew about, even though half of SHIELD was HYDRA. The Kree stuff leads into the whole Inhuman stuff they have been doing quite smoothly. Basically yes, for certain values of "reasonable". It was a big deal plotline and even a couple of season later there have been "we don't know if my head's on straight" repercussions.
