[Dr Kain]

Well we watched episodes 2 and 3 of Supergirl. The second episode was pretty bad. Not as bad as the premier, but good god was the acting on Psi pretty damn awful. I can excuse the bad acting or Ruby just because she is a child. However, her and her mom are not even remotely interesting. Oh, and how dare Lena Luthor be a boss to Kara! At least Kara realized this by the end of the episode, but come on. Just tell her the truth so she knows why you are gone at random times!

Thankfully, the third episode was better, at least until the end. The stuff dealing with the Martians was pretty good outside of some poor looking CGI and them clearly running out of a budget when they had MM's dad take a human form.

On the other hand, the Maggie/Alex stuff was all over the place. Some of it felt legitimate. Some of it felt out of place. Like I totally agree with the stuff Maggie's dad was saying about Mexicans and gays being descriminated upon, but he is such a worthless sack of shit! I wish a boulder would fall on his bus when he was on his way home. Also, the scene at the end between Alex and Maggie was so god damn terrible. It felt like it was Season 2 terrible all over again.

We would have watched episode 4, but since my DVR didn't record the first 6 minutes of it I've gotta go and download it. Stupid Comcast!!


Also, finally watched last night's episode of Flash and hot damn it was fantastic. This season is even better than the second season and things are just getting started.

Where do I start?

Loved the stuff with Dan Trejo. I also got a laugh out of Cisco grabbing a machete and HR says something like, "Too much." Oh, and of course the end when we learn Gypsy's name is Cynthia and her dad's is Josh. Lastly, "You have a speedster as an assisstant?"

Not surprised the mayor was crooked, but I wish we saw a news report about it happening to make it seem like a big deal. Right now it just seemed like it was meh.

The way Joe told Barry about Lucile being pregnant is hilarious, but I don't get the scene with all of the cigars. That was just random. I guess he told them about it by the way they were cheering, but it could have been done more sensible.

Ralph was great. I loved the nose twitching at the end and I loved how he got under Barry's skin. The reason behind it makes far more sense than just him getting jealous because Iris is attracted to him like they did in his premier issue. The dude looks just like him too. I think the funniest moment of him acquiring his powers though is Joe barfing.

Oh, and Barry just flat out writing, "VILLAINS" on the board was priceless.

Surprised we didn't get another teaser scene with Metron... I mean Thinker, but that's cool. We don't need him in every episode. The bit of Barry remember what Abra Cadabra said was just enough.

Overall, this season is just nailing the tone perfectly. I don't know if they got new writers, new show runners, or if they just decided to spend the summer reading Silver Age Flash comics, but it is working. I hope we get the real Shade and Mirror Master this season.
