'Cause we're the good guys.

It was a weird episode in that it seemed like I had missed the backdoor miniseries or something given just how quickly they flew though the premise. That's not a bad thing mind, I think we're all well and truly sick of origin stories so it makes sense to skip to the meat. I don't know that the meat is all that appealing at this stage though, the procedural stuff wasn't remarkably inventive aside from the brain eating and the mythos is pretty rough. Ill give it an episode or two more, but it might be one I just keep an ear out for to see if it gets really good.

The CW's showrunners seem to be all about putting the hammer down these days. The Flash episode we got tonight would have been a second season finale on any other network, and Arrow's become famous for ripping through drama arcs that other shows would drag on for months in like three episodes tops. I'm all for slow burns, but it's kind of refreshing when the shows just get right the hell on with it.

And yeah, seconding the opinion that this show exists smack dab on the Veronica Mars to Dead Like Me axis of the TV spectrum. Whether it's going to settle down and become that good remains to be seen, but it's definitely got aspirations in that general direction.
