Oh wow, I actually liked a Legends episode for the first time since the crossover! Maybe the long break between watching it helped? Either way, it was the Camelot one, which I'm pretty sure you've seen already, Adam, as it came just before last break the show had. Was going to watch the next episode (which you probably haven't seen yet) but my internet it being uncooperative right now, so maybe tomorrow. I'm genuinely shocked that I actually had fun watching that last one, though, because it had felt like ages since the last time I liked that show.

Well, I just watched the next episode after Jeremiah's faked rescue, and if you don't mind minor spoilers, James did briefly appear, though his absence wasn't explained. The episode itself had one spectacular sequence, but the rest was frustrating to sit through, and still not what I want from the show.

Perhaps he's gone wherever Lucy Lane went.
I knew that was coming as I do read the press releases for new episodes...it actually seems like it's a normal Supergirl episode that continues in The Flash from what I've read.

Yeah, it feels like ever since Kara snapped at him and Winn over the whole Guardian thing (which was kinda dumb imo, lol) he's just mysteriously vanished. The odd ting about it is how Winn, his closest friend through this whole thing, hasn't even mentioned him lately. It's like they listened to the fans who wanted that subplot over with, but couldn't figure out what else to do with him and so they just completely retconned him out of the show, at least for now.
Also, if you didn't hear, in two weeks in the US, they're doing another crossover, but this time it's a small scale one, which I think is the best way to do them: Kara is going over to Central City for a musical episode, which should be great! Really looking forward to that one, so I guess that gives me motivation to stay caught up during my ongoing burnout. |

They felt like filler episodes to me. They advanced the plot by moving Jesse to Earth 1 and Savitar suddenly reappearing, but that was basically it. They didn't need a two parter to do that.
I actually have a feeling though with that second episode that Harry might have been telling the truth about being ill...but it might be just because it would, again, be typical TV writing to have his daughter go off at him like that and it turn out to be true. Back to Supergirl though one thing I have been wondering...where the hell is James lately? There's been several episodes now where he's either outright absent or only briefly appears.

Yeah, the whole evil Rip thing is what really turned me off of Legends lately. His actor is also doing a horrible job this season, I think. I actually like the three villains, but between them being rehashed and Rip, it hasn't been fun.
And yeah, that Grodd event was fine, it didn't bother me like some recent episodes of the shows, but wasn't really great either. I think the problem is it exposed the lack of a big budget, because for all the hype, it had very little action and it was all small scale. Part two especially was more about character development than the actual conflict, so I liked it a bit more, but it still felt kinda pointless. |

Yeah that's what I saw. For some reason I had it in my head that he was somehow Vigilante, though I think that time when he was hurt proved that he wasn't.
And yeah, if you're talking about the Supergirl episode where a certain someone was 'rescued' then that was predictable as hell. Very generic TV writing. Same goes for Legends really with this whole turning Rip evil plot. As for The Flash I've just had this two part event with Grodd. I thought it was okay but kinda pointless.

^Did you just see the Prometheus reveal? If so, I had seen people online speculate that was the case, but I never believed it. I won't specify in case you're referring to something else, but the character who it turned out to be was apparently supposed to be a different villain this season, so they changed it up. It was a great reveal and great episode, though.
I'm actually an episode behind on Flash and Supergirl and two behind on Legends, because keeping up with all four is proving to be exhausting. It doesn't help that they all use the same tricks to move the plot along, so it gets repetitive and annoying. Like, the last Supergirl I watched, everyone online loved it, but I saw the twist coming a mile away, so I was like "Oh, just get to the point and reveal it already, and stop wasting my bloody time!" That and it used the same trick the shows always use where a villain gets away, not because they earn it but because the characters don't fully consider their options, and oh my god does that ever get bloody annoying when all shows keep doing it over and over and over over and over and........over! I'm actually not liking Supergirl as much this season, because last season felt fresh where this year it just feels like another CW show. I do know the feeling about that scheduling though, even if it's actually helping me for the most part, except that I would keep up with Arrow easily every week anyway. A couple years ago, I was watching Person of Interest live, during season 4, and my initial enjoyment of the season was lower than normal, entirely due to the scheduling because it was the first one I watched live and it kept going on breaks constantly, sometimes doing it right after cliffhangers and big events, and the most maddening of all was the midseason finale was all hype, teasing something big and literally nothing happened, so I had to wait a month to see what would happen. The enxt episode did deliver big time, but fuck was it annoying keeping up with it. For season 5, though, it was on every week and sometimes twice per week, so that went great for me and i loved it. I prefer HBO scheduling overall, because it hits the right balance between giving you the episodes quickly, but still giving the fans time to speculate on upcoming events, unlike Netflix where you can't do that because the whole season gets released at the same time. I guess for people who don't like to speculate that option works great, but I prefer the HBO method for sure. Edited by DippoMagoo - 10 Mar 2017 at 11:08am |

The DC shows are kinda pissing me off right now but it's all to do with the scheduling. They seem really all over the place this last few weeks with either this show or that show not being shown. Legends was off this week, on the week before and off again the week before that (along with The Flash). Now Arrow is off next week and I've heard Supergirl will skip a week at some point soon as well. Just show the season damn it!
That last episode of Arrow though, holy shit, I really didn't see that reveal coming.

Just finished this one, and I canĀ“t recommend it at all. I actually found it rather embarrasing how cringe worthy bad it was, but my wife insisted that we stick with it to the end. Huge mistake...consider yourself warned:

I hope they go back to individual episodes next season, rather than the continuous story-lines they have had the past two seasons. I really liked season 19, "Naughty Ninjas" was hilarious, but I just don't think the last season worked nearly as well. What did you think?

Meanwhile, I think I may officially have to drop Legends, because I spent the entire of last week's episode audibly groaning and in total disgust at pretty much every scene. There's no point watching anymore if it's pissing me off that badly. If there's anymore four way crossovers, I'll just have to find a way to get through them without that show, because I just can't take how terrible that show has been lately. It's just way too repetitive and I want nothing to do with these rehashed villains, at this point. Arrow last week was also repetitive and formulaic as hell, but at least I still had fun watching it.

The Man in the High Castle was pretty good through season 1 but I have to say that I'm fast losing interest in season 2. Not even sure if I'm going to continue at this point to be honest. I'll probably check out some other stuff that's only on Amazon Prime instead.

I'm almost the total opposite, lol! I actually only watched Supergirl this week, so far, because I've been busy playing games lately, but based on last week I'm loving Arrow as usual (still think this season could be its best ever, tbh,) Flash is going steady, not great, not bad, Supergirl was disappointing last week for me but this week was back to being fun as usual, Legends was so bad I may have to drop it. I actually read spoilers just for that show this week, and while people seemed to be loving it, to me it sounded absolutely dreadful. So basically, my rankings right now: Arrow>>Supergirl>>>>>>Flash>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Legends Also, the scheduling is a bit different for me. I tend to watch the shows online, anyway, since I don't have cable, but here's the order of the shows in Canada: Monday: 8 PM: Supergirl Tuesday: 8 PM: Flash, 9 PM: Legends Wednesday: 9 PM: Arrow Edited by DippoMagoo - 03 Feb 2017 at 2:24pm |
