irlZaphod posted:I liked the pilot, I might need to watch it again because I was a bit tired during it. It's definitely setting a tone of "Hey fuckers, we're going to show you the everyday racism faced by POC in this country, so strap in", which at this point is long overdue. Of course, that probably means that a good portion of the audience who should watch it to educate themselves simply won't. This is one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to watching it after a bit of reading up on the show. I'm pretty sure I could count the number of non-white people who I've met in any way that live in my hometown in the 25 years or so I've lived here on one hand. I'd probably even have fingers to spare. There were some African immigrants in Cork (one of Ireland's bigger cities) when I lived there for nearly a decade, but even there they were a tiny minority and I mostly encountered them in passing as taxi drivers or what have you. Racism is just not a big thing here, because most immigrants tend to be Eastern European (calling that prejudicial problem nationalism seems weird so I'm not sure what you'd call it, but that definitely exists on the other hand) so while I would hope I'm not racist I honestly have no frame of reference to know and watching this might give me at least a tiny bit more education on the matter in case it ever does become relevant. That said, I got tired of both Arrow and Flash after 3 seasons and 2 seasons respectively because I found the main characters self absorbed melodrama too much in both cases, so I give it two seasons of this before I grow tired of it for a similar reason as well and just hope I'm wrong and that CW manages to make a more likable and tolerable protagonist for once. tsob fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jan 17, 2018 |

What day do new episodes air domestically? I'm watching it on Netflix UK and caught up to it a few days ago but it puts new episodes up Tuesday if I recall and I'm pretty sure that's a couple of days behind so I want to know when to avoid the thread.

It'd be pretty funny for DC to get a family of four superheroes right before Marvel.
