Right, the showrunners should be able to plan their own season length instead of being locked into a hard schedule that could ruin the pace either way.

Okay, I'm still looking forward to that episode but there's really no excuse in TYOOL 2015 for a TV robot to look that bad.

Really that thing looks like they needed a robot costume on a day's notice so they cannibalized the interior of a Ford Focus and slathered it in ochre. It reminds me of the US-produced segments of early Power Rangers.

greatn posted:I think it looks like a really good cosplay outfit. The color and texture of the costume itself rules out all but the shittiest cosplay. The pieces of the armor look ok, but they seriously look upholstered and that color is complete dogshit. The whole head part also looks bad, but it's within the realm of cosplay at least. Nobody wants a robot that's been covered in carpet and then had cheap lipstick smeared all over it for color.

I think smart shows this day and age that run 20+ episodes a season split up the season into mini arcs. When you have a show with a season villain, it becomes silly how the heroes thwart his plans time and time again, but the villain just keeps getting away to come back next week. Then have all those mini arcs add up to the finale of the show.

I caught the first 3 episodes and I think this show is totally adorable. The only really clunky part was where ~James~ was dancing with her and laying on some overly gushy flattery (not the actor's fault, the lines have lead feet). I like that the show is super corny and often ridiculous, it's a very good rehabilitation of the SuperSoandso brand after the Zack Snyder grimdark treatment. I like everyone in the cast and particularly Melissa Benoist is really comfortable with her part, she does the female Clark Kent type character flawlessly and naturally. The whole package is very bright and charming and fun to watch.

CBS just announced they're bumping this week's episode -- it was about a series of bombings in National City -- and replacing it with next week's.

A risky move for a show that's already struggling. The last show I remember that pulled this type of shenanigan was Firefly. That was an awesome show, but the out-of-order episodes really hosed it up.

The show is basically a procedural, the first three episodes got basically all set up and baggage out of the way, so episode order probably matters very little if Astra isn't involved.

Delaying the show completely a week would have been better. Swapping episode orders in a show is never the answer.

When this is canceled someone will come back to this and claim it's the Firefly curse of out of order episodes.

It's not like this show has shown any real need to having things happen in order yet. Some light relationship with Commander Glowy Eyes is about the only thing so far that would have been noticeably odd out of order. If we're trading a monster of the week episode for another monster of the week episode no one will notice, though I'm sure our hearts may yet die of the strain of the cliff hanger that was James' ex-fiance.

I doubt that nothing is gonna be thrown at least a little out of whack by switching the episodes. Some tiny bit of relationship progress, or some random plot detail will probably get called up. It's just not gonna be that big a deal in a largely procedural show like this. They're switching NCIS episodes as well. Thought to be honest, "next week's" episode looks better anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT_eyoa36Qg Quantico's the show I feel for a the moment. It's, like, entirely a serialized show that's specifically about terrorism plots. No way to switch out any of that short of just not airing it.

Maybe they should just drop that episode entirely because that Red Tornado really does look god awful. Or was the next episode not about Red Tornado? Either way, they should just cancel that episode whatever number it is.

Yeah, like in Season 1 of Person of Interest (another CBS show) you could swap around pretty much any of the episodes other than the Elias stuff and nothing would really change.

I am not really familiar with Henshaw so I was really hoping he was actually Martian Manhunter too. Thought that immediately when the red eyes went off because that is so iconic to me for him. Then the moment he seemed to know what was going on across the base. Most of all I liked the idea of Martian Manhunter's secret identity being an actual government alien hunter. But if all this stuff actually fits for the character that the name belongs to, I guess that makes more sense. Not as cool though. MM deserves more than a short run on Smallville.

There's just no way they'd introduce the Martian Manhunter and not have his civilian name be John Jones.

If it just keeps dropping, sure, maybe. On the other hand CBS may be a bit stricter than the other networks because it's the most successful. I can sorta see this ekeing out a second year based on how badly DC/WB wants it to stick around, too. I know they don't have any stake in CBS so it's not quite like Agents of SHIELD on ABC, but they may be willing to make deals.
