Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I dunno, I keep waiting for the island to have a damned point this season.

OMGWTF POLAR BEAR!

I didn't see that coming at all.

Spoiler fonted comments below, though does not officially need spoiler fonting.

Body taken away after she is shot by darts? Always assumed she was alive. I think, BTW, that Juliet being gone showed how much I underestimated the part she played on the show. I don't know how define her role (in literary as opposed to acting terms) but the with her gone, the cringe factor went waay up.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Supergirl:

Gah! The tech stuff was hurting my brain this episode. If Dirk Dastardly was foolishly using his CatCo email account to plot his takeover why didn't Winn just pull his email off the server instead of putting Jimmy through the pointless spy shenanigans?

Also, why would you print off reams and reams of Cat's emails to search for problematic ones instead of just sorting through them electronically?

I'm used to hand-waving hacking and computer repair stuff in TV and movies but this just bugged me. (Speaking of bugs, I didn't get a clear enough view of the innards of Dirk's "computer" to tell if he actually had an all-in-one or if Jimmy was only bugging his monitor. And did they go back and recover their bug after they got their evidence? If not, the authorities just seized it along with Dirk's electronic devices.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Supergirl

Ha, yeah, the tech stuff was kind of a mess for the reasons you said, but whatever, because this show is great and Melissa Benoist is fantastic and CAT FUCKING GRANT figured shit out and there is lots of flying around and shooting lasers and superpeople fight without destroying half the city and Supergirl actually bothers to save civilians and I want a new episode next week.

I also don't understand how a company as big as CatCo survives with a single IT guy.

I will say I did appreciate the moment last week when Cat has Winn doing her camera setup and he grumbles about not having to do something like that since high school AV Club. It was 1) a nice acknowledgment that all tech isn't the same skill set 2) very true to life that executives assume anything with a power cord is an "IT thing."

I did enjoy the episode overall, the email thing just bugged me because it was all made far more difficult than it needed to be (not that sorting through that many emails electronically would be easy, either.) Also, as a professional IT guy, if I needed something off an employee's computer and couldn't access it remotely for whatever reason, I would simply contact them (or, in the case of someone at Dirk's level, their admin) a schedule a time to do "maintenance" on their PC. (Please note, I have never actually pulled any data off an employee's computer without express instruction from my superiors.)

Yes, all of this! I really think CF is perfect on this show.

I do like that they're giving Astra a little more depth.

Astra is interesting. I am braced for Cat to get her memory wiped or something, but I hope not - what she does now could be a good story.
