So it's Supergirl tonight, Flash/Arrow on tomorrow/Wednesday (premiered last week) and Legends Thursday, right?

I'm 6'1" I met SMG too and it was so strange looking down at her.

I get that with a lot of people I see on TV since they aim the camera for normal-height people. One of my dad's co-workers was interviewed for a documentary once and my first thought was "why is she so tall, is my memory wrong?"

And then there's the Conan counterexample, where they use the same camera trickery to make him NOT look like a beanpole giant.

Show's just started over on this coast, but I'm guessing Megan is going the Young Justice route of being white.

E: nailed it.

Yeah. Now that the storyline made it official: In the comics, Miss Martian is a White Martian by race and pretends to be a Green Martian so people don't flip their poo poo. She's actually pretty nice and sunny but, y'know, race known for war crimes and all.

In the Young Justice cartoon they made it a bit of a transgender-analogue. Did the comics do the same or was she just green to hide rather than "this is who I feel I really am"?

I did get a serious gay vibe from the scene with Mon-El in the flashback.

I saw it as the partyboy prince and his relatively-more-responsible and loyal guard/friend, the kid finally decides to man up and lead his people. If it weren't too similar to season one, I wouldn't put it past the kid to rally the survivors and lead an attack against the two remaining Kryptonians in retaliation.

I feel like Winn had a bit of a downgrade this season, going from best friend, confidant and tech guy (and early last season love-sick puppy) to basically ONLY the tech guy. He exists to show up, quip a bit and solve the episode problem with technobabble. I prefer that to the moping over Kara poo poo early last season but the character feels diminished a lot this season.

Also, White Martian blood is compatible with Green Martian blood? You know even in humans, you can't just do that without checking first that the types are compatible between donor and receiver.

It really is remarkable- in all other respects this is one of the least subtle shows on television, yet they handled this with remarkable nuance.

Of course it helps that Chyler Leigh is just so drat good.

Granted, for TV shows that's a REALLY low bar to clear. But good on 'em all the same.

That was a very Kevin Smith episode. Dialogue that's a little too snappy, delivered a little too quickly.

I got a job teaching children board games and DMing RPGs for them and they're good kids but so many are already inundated with Bad Nerd Culture Garbage so pardon me if I'm particularly sensitive lately.

That's understandable. Any complaints about "Felicity is an okay side character who got exaggerated and became a black hole of drama, sucking all other character interactions into orbit around her and distorting them so much that people now cringe if she gets anywhere near a plot even though Arrow may be pushing her back into a stable position"?

Plus The Guardian is like National City's understudy/matinee hero so Cat probably just enjoys giving him poo poo. She'd probably sass Mon El too if she knew he existed.

I read that as "manatee" hero and it still works. Nobody cheers for the sea cow.

I view writing relationship fiction and then publishing it on the internet to be absolutely pathetic. I visualize every author as someone who'd stab you for disagreeing with their story ideas.

Eh, it can be interesting if you accept it for what it is. One of my friends is a fic-writer as a hobby, she likes to do it to play with shifting people around and putting different personalities in different shows. "If I replaced a character in this serious drama plot with Captain Jack Sparrow I think it would actually work in an interesting way not just a punchline" that sort of thing. Yeah it's dumb, but that's the fun part.

Does the CW app do live streaming?

I haven't used it since last season, but at least back then they went up immediately after the show ended on the west coast. So if the show starts at 8 the online site would have it at 9 or 9:05 or so (midnight for east coasters).

I really enjoyed how not gritty and real the bad guys plan was.

Buy up the water front through shell companies? Nah. Covertly plant exsplosives? Nope.

Hire a known mercenary to pull off a high stakes heist as cover for your real plan to have your mercenary steal tech from a captured alien ship that the military is hiding from the DEO (because you know that is happening) so you can cloak a submarine to fire torpedos at the waterfront (during a Supergirl statue unvailing) to wreck it thus driving down property values? That's the ticket.

Stay comic books Supergirl.

Of course Arrow did the same thing five years ago with an earthquake machine.

So given the disorientation and the need for the hero to confront fears they've been repressing, this makes how many Vertigos in CW shows? Five?
