Yep, I saw some reviews saying last week's Supergirl was great, but when I watched it I was like "Are you guys kidding me?" I didn't hate it or anything, like I did the one where kids were literally poisoned to just get revenge on Lena Luthor, but I was really hoping Mon-El would stay gone, at least for a season and his return wasn't handled well imo (I hate love triangles on these shows, lol) and yeah, I was hoping Samantha's eventual turn would happen more gradually instead of just a seemingly one shot deal like that. Extremely disappointing episode, and it came just after the flashback episode, which most people hated but I really liked.
All the other shows were good last week, imo, though Arrow had some annoying parts. Flash and Legends were pretty much consistently great throughout, though. I'm watching half of the crossover today and the other half tomorrow, so hopefully it goes well.

I liked the flashback episode as well, especially since they managed to find two new actresses who believably looked like the main, older versions of their characters.
Finished watching The Punisher on Netflix this morning, which I found an excellent series.

Finished wathing Stranger Things, which me and my wife (and the kids too) found to be an excellent show. We´ll definitely be watching season 3 when it arrives.
Started watching "Better Call Saul"...

I just finished the "Crisis On Earth X" event the Arrowverse shows had, and I have to say, it really delivered! I won't go into spoilers, but suffice to say it felt much more important than last year's big crossover, plus the villains were fun, it had a perfect mix of drama, comedy and action, and because Supergirl was fully a part of it this time, they had more time to deliver a full 4 part special where every episode was focused entirely on the ongoing plot, and that made a huge difference.

Watched Part 1 and 2 of Crisis on Earth-X. The UK is not otherwise following the US schedule with them so I've only got one part tomorrow and then the last on Wednesday.
Part 1 and 2 were very good, despite some glaringly obvious continuity errors: At one point Jax seems surprised that there is more than one Earth. How can he possibly not know that after last year's crossover at the very least? It was established ages ago that Supergirl's Earth does not have the characters from Earth 1 and vice versa. At one point in this first half Harry basically says that every Earth has the same people, specifically saying that there are 53 Kara's. That means that Earth-1 must have a Kara. I suppose it might be plausible that it does and Krypton was not destroyed in that universe (so Kara never left) but how does that explain the absence of the usual characters on Earth-38? In relation to the above, where the hell did Oliver get Kryptonite from to make those arrows?

Just have one Arrow episode left to air tonight before the DC shows go on break.
I've seen the US schedule for when they come back and can't help but feel that they're really screwing up with the idea to bring Supergirl back for just four weeks then completely replace the show with Legends of Tomorrow until it finishes before finally finishing Supergirl. If they don't have the TV slots to return all four shows at once why not just get one show aired then show the other one? Why stick yet another break in it? Makes absolutely no sense. Speaking of Legends, there was a major plot hole in that last episode with the the vikings. There is absolutely no way that any vikings would have been fooled by Darkh posing as Odin because a viking would have known that Odin is supposed to only have one eye.

^Yeah, but do you really think they would be fooled by a doll who can only make a handful of generic responses, either? The whole episode was silly, so it's best not to overthink it. My problem with the episode is it had such a silly main plot, yet tried to mix in some darker elements and it just didn't quite work for me. I get that they had to do something for the midseason finale, but then in that case, why have such a ridiculously over the top main plot for your fall finale in the first place? I actually found the Beebo stuff hilarious, but the Mallus stuff was lame and the ending was also pretty weak.
I haven't gotten to see last week's Arrow yet, btw. Somehow, it never aired in Canada until last night, and site for the channel that airs it still doesn't have it up yet, which is weird. Hopefully I can see it before I totally forget about it. |

While it is pretty far-fetched, I actually find the toy more believable than Darkh as Odin. A talking toy is something from their future and so entirely outside their comprehension. Odin however is part of their heritage, so should not be so easily duped.

Yeah, I guess it does make sense from that perspective.
Btw, did you end up liking the crossover? My only real complaint is that Supergirl felt disconnected from it, while all the other shows were effected by it quite a bit. Otherwise, though, I thought it was really good. I have to say, though, the Flash fall finale felt a little disappointing afterward, as it felt too soon for it to be going that dark again after the crossover (really, though, the crossover could have just been poorly timed) and while the twist was kinda interesting, I always hate when main characters get arrested, so I'm sure I won't care for the next episode. Supergirl's fall finale was cool, though I find it strange that Reign just suddenly got her powers and is already able to beat the living crap out of Kara like that.

I enjoyed the crossover a lot. I think what you say about Supergirl is the inherent problem with that show beginning on a different network and wasn't initially supposed to be anything to do with the Arrowverse. I was otherwise pleased by how better integrated its characters were though I'd have liked others from Earth-38 to have come over: Barry befriended both Winn and James in his first during Supergirl season 1.

After finally watching the Arrow midseason finale (and regretting it), I can now say I'm in almost the exact opposite spot with the shows this year as I was at the end of last season. Arrow has now gone from first to absolute dead last, and after the shit show that was that fall finale, I don't see it recovering any time soon. It was almost every CW trope I hate thrown into a single episode: Betrayal? Check! Lame team in fighting for no reason? Check! Undoing a lot of what made the previous season so good? Check! The villains of the season escape because the team's too distracted with other crap? Check! Bringing back villains no one gives a damn about? CHECK! Like, holy crap was that ever a garbage episode!

Season 2 of this dropped on Netflix today. I'm looking forward to watching it. Season one was completely off the wall.

Okay, I've come to the conclusion that being idiotic with TV schedules is just a thing in the US now having just logged onto Amazon Prime to watch the new episode of Lucifer, which returned from mid-season break last week, only to find that it's already on a break again. What the actual fuck is that about? I mean last week's episode was basically a standalone prequel to the whole series but it definitely wasn't marketed as such (at least here, where it was definitely episode 11 of season 3). Well I guess it's back to Dirk Gently, which I found out was cancelled before it had even aired worldwide which has put a real dampener on me enjoying the second season.

^ If you're referring to History channel's airing that's actually season 4 part 2, though why they didn't just call that season 5 and the current one that's on Amazon Prime season 6 is beyond me.
Since I'm on Prime I'm partway through the first part of the actual season 5.

Me and my wife has just started watching Orange is the New Black...I like it so far, but I´m a fan of Weeds too, so it´s a bit Down the same road.

Orange is the New Black is good. Serious drama, yet comedic. I've watched all five seasons and am tempted to go through it all again before season 6 arrives.
Weeds recently appeared in full on Netflix so I expect I'll be watching that at some point as well. Not only because it's by the same writer but I remember you posting good things about it a while back Jonas.

^It´s damn funny. As as I said, much of the same humour yet dramatic.

One thing I wish would appear on Netflix is season 3 of Z Nation. I've watched one and two on there and have season 4 recorded in full on our Sky box but have been unable to watch it due to not having seen season 3.
Still, got Van Helsing back this month and iZombie next month and then Jessica Jones in March, so I'll be pretty sorted for new Netflix original/exclusive content for a while.
