Really? I kinda feel like the fight scenes are finally getting a little better.
It actually looks like they're hitting something every now and then, rather than flailing around.

Honestly, I've no idea about the quality because I started doing other stuff. It's the length and quantity that bugged me.

I swear I'm the only person who never got into Arrow, but enjoys the other three shows.

I got into Flash first, then Supergirl, Arrow, and finally Legends. I enjoy Arrow for the most part, but after six seasons they're really repeating a lot of ideas, even if some details are different. It's getting tiresome, and I doubt they'll continue the show past this season; if they do, they'll only do it for continuity issues with the other shows.

I just hate watch Arrow, tbh.
Apart from Legends, I'm not a fan of any of the DC shows at all, with the exception of season 1 of Flash.

Sadly typical for a current episode of Supergirl

No fun.
A lot of relationship crap.
Overt real world politics (Yeah, that "Lock her up" bit was super subtle...)
General shitty writing.

I'm starting to hope this show doesn't get renewed.

[Anywhere Else But Here]

Meh.

Morgan is boring, Lena felt OOC. The break-up might have had an impact, if the suddenness of all this didn't feel so clumsy.
Why oh why did they not foreshadow it in season 2?

Also, Winn feels so underused this season. Has he done anything besides provide technobabble?

[Ameriganastan]

Meh.

Cause she didn't say she was leaving before then. She kinda sprung it on them when season 3 was filming, so they had to kill it fast. They did it amazingly poorly as you saw.

[Nation of Quebec]

The break-up felt so forced, which is a shame because the relationship had been one of the few enjoyable ones in the Arrowverse until this point. At least now that it's out of the way, hopefully the show can move on from all this relationship drama and start focusing on better arcs for the characters.

I still say that Lena is the most interesting character on the show right now, even if she felt a little out of character this time, and I agree that Winn has been very underused so far this season. He's a fun character and it would be nice if he got more screen time.

On the plus side, Kara hasn't been moping the past couple of episodes. That's a step in the right direction.

[Ameriganastan]

Also, do these townie morons have short term memory loss or something?

Even if her bomb doohickey wasn't the cause, they sure forgot fast the alternative to her using it was enslavement by the Daxomites. Show a little fucking gratitude.

No, but I think they did know that they didn't know whether she would be available for another season. If they'd put some minor tension in late season 2 it would have given them options.

Fairly average Flash. Though

drunk Barry

was a riot.

[Ameriganastan]

I say Legends just made its first screw-up of the year.

Did we really need Darhk back again? I am so tired of that guy.

Thank you for saying that point. I'm glad I am not the only one who cringed.
Characters which appear again might be the biggest flaw through out these show's universe.

I think

Darhk will be really temporary. In my opinion, they only brought him back to do that sister arc with Sara and relate it to Zari's sibling problems. I give him an episode, maybe two before he somehow dies yet again.

Also Flash was amazing. Almost no complaints, but

although I enjoyed the development on the Caitlin/Killer Frost front, they really need to stop with that. They've been overusing her identity crisis for so long. Drunk Barry, however = amazing. We need to see more of him.

I'm inclined to agree with that. I doubt that he's going to be the big bad for the season. I suspect that they'll only keep him around for a couple of episodes, rather than keep him for the full season, before the real villan turns up. Darhk is more of a red herring.

The rest of the episode was great and funny, as per usual.

Flash was fun.

Drunk Barry was fun, and it was nice to see the female characters kicking some ass on their own. I'm also liking Ralph's character. It would be nice if they didn't turn him into a villain. Not every meta besides Barry and Cisco has to be a bad guy.

[Anywhere Else But Here]

Good episodes, as usual.

Flash:

Why did they just let girl!Magneto go? Was it because they couldn't bear to hear her accent for another second?
It looks like they've finally put an end to Caitlyn's Killer Frost angst, so that's good.
Harry keeps fading into the background. I hope we see more of him before he gets the boot.
I don't think for a second that Dibny will become a villain, though I 100% expect him to appear to do so.
Every time the Arrowverse makes a Dr Who reference, I wonder why no one's noticed John Barrowman and Arthur Darvill.

Legends:

Not much to say here, really.
Seeing Rip back with the team for an episode was fun. Liked the fight at the end. Not fussed about Damien Darhk.

He's not.

Elongated Man was never a villain. They just gave him Plastic Man's backstory (Former criminal turned stretchy good guy) to make him more interesting.

[Ameriganastan]

That's it!? You bring back Vigilante, finally unmask him and

it's some rando who appeared in like one scene?

What a fucking waste of a plotline.

[Anywhere Else But Here]

Better episode of Arrow, I thought. Not overburdened by fight scenes (and that big one was actually fun to watch), but,

I'm sorry, show, but nothing you can do is going to make Dinah interesting. Of all the boring, redundant characters, she is the boringest and redundantest.

Also, that Slade twist was obvious.

God, right?

[Ameriganastan]

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I am not exaggerating when I say this had to be the WORST episode of this fucking show. I don't give a rats left nut about this goddamn Disney Channel/Lifetime original movie high school flashback, pity party BULLSHIT. WHY IS THIS SHOW SO FUCKING DEPRESSING!? Every week now! Just angst after angst after fucking angst! Who gives a shit about this stupid highschool flashback crap?! NOT ME, THAT'S FOR SURE! AND TO TOP IT OFF, MON-FUCKHEAD IS BACK NEXT WEEK! GOD!

So...6/10?

I thought it was a sweet episode. Although clearly no one wants Mon-Fuckhead back.

[Nation of Quebec]

For a episode that was basically filler, it wasn't that bad. They at least got decent actresses who looked like a younger Kara and Alex.

Not looking forward to Mon-El coming back. He dragged down the last season and will do the same with the forced romance bullshit.
