And is there no shower on the ship? Sarah's hair is NASTY.

When she's not in "uniform", it seems fine. But when she suits up, rather than give her a ponytail or bun - much more sensible for a person expecting action - they put some guck in it and just semi-slick back the front. I hate it.

I'm watching last week's LoT, and despite my love for Captain Cold, I think I'm over it. I want to like it, but it's just...meh.

Yeap. This is where I am. I thought a future-ep with Oliver cameo might kick my interest up a notch, but my attention kept wandering. Frankly, I cannot keep up with 4 DC superhero shows -- it's way too much. While the writing for Supergirl can be often incredibly clunky, it's at least focused on one lead and is keeping my interests.

I was freakin' RELIEVED that there was no Flash or Arrow this week because seriously, I cannot keep up with so much TV, yo. Honestly, I am way less fannish about those two shows compared to last season, even. Which makes me a bit sad, but eh. It is what it is.

What kills me about that massacre is those 300 were there TO PROTECT them!

I KNOW. And yet, I could totally see that. I mean, think about post-9/11, when we went to war with a country that had NOTHING to do with the attacks, merely because our leaders wanted it. And because they lied about it and played on our fears. I suspect that's what the writers are thinking about: Pike may be honest, but he's also taking advantage of the Arkers' fear of the Grounders to shore up his own position.

Also, the more people he gets involved in these heinous crimes, the more tightly he binds them to him. Now that Bellamy's involved, it's going to be really hard for anyone to get him loose: he has to cling to Pike to protect his own self-worth (inasmuch as he has any).

This week is going to be interesting.

I know I said I was over LoT, but I was bored and migrainey tonight, so I put it on. And -- was the entire purpose of the episode to get Stein in a beret? (I don't object to that, for the record.)

I pretty much only like Ray and Stein, and LOVE Captain Cold SO HARD. I have no use for Rip Hunter or Hawkgirl.

But really, Rip Hunter was charming on Doctor Who? Because he is totally unlikable in LoT.

This was my question. I know the writing's crap, but the actor has proven he possesses charm before. What happened to it?

Clearly Wentworth Miller and Victor Garber are good enough to at least make their characters enjoyable even if they can't elevate anyone else's performance.

Oh, man, Rory was so amazing. (On Doctor Who. The guy who's not Captain Cold is named Rory too, isn't he? That's confusing.)

Also, this probably will not help convince anyone who hasn't seen Doctor Who, but this is my favorite Rory vid: [link]

I thought it was the best episode they've done so far (not saying much, of course, but still). Lot's of call outs to Star Wars and Trek (even a Kobayashi Maru type scenario). Didn't hate Rip this time around, and actively liked his venting of the pirates. OTOH, Ray/Kendra makes me throw up in my mouth a little. And I don't understand why Stein didn't meld with Jax when they were together. Would've been a neat little surprise for Captain Valor.

So, did Lenny really just kill Mick? And where and when did they leave the corpsicle? (Clearly he'll be back. Future tech an probably thaw him out.)

Because they ripped off Firefly SO HARD.

Didn't hate Rip this time around

I was legit rooting for Time Pirate Captain to kill Rip.

And I don't understand why Stein didn't meld with Jax when they were together.

Too much CGI for the budget? (I was wondering the same thing.)

Heh. I almost added "very Firefly-like" to my post.

Too much CGI for the budget?

That was my thought, too, although they did toss in that little line from Mick about fires not being a great idea on a spaceship.
