Hostages
Drugs are done. Scottie plots. Tom ponders. Howard doesn’t fall for Scottie’s crap. Scottie is evil. A kidnapper must be foiled. There are twists. Scottie goes on about sworn enemies and Tom is busted. This was okay.

This was inconsequential and full of overwrought moments. This show is in a desperate and pitiful state due to Mon-El. Lena lurks and she has an ex. Kara is coy and acts like she is on Spice. Why is James still on this show? Winn is all ridicule and extremely dismissive. Kara acts awkward and weird. TPTB have inattention and ignorance of what is beneficial. This was not life-affirming. Kara has a self-indulgent obsession with Mon-El for whom I’ve vitriolic hatred.
This was superficial and damages reputations and dignity. Snapper Carr wonders why Kara is beyond criticism. TPTB’s culture of incompetence continues. There is mumbling and no unexpectedness. A nano-form attacks. Mon-El is voraciously annoying. Why is Kara besotted with him? Lena’s accent slips. There are more impulsively evil baddies and no competent actors. Kara gets her job back. Rhea looks up Lena. This repudiates quality.

Jason broods and says no to his vile father. Neville doesn’t care that his son was made brainwashed and crazy. No wonder he has long been seen as dubious. Jason has had it with his dad. Nobody is great and good. How did Jason find Monroe and co? Miles is such an ass. Bratniss bores. Monroe has no ingenious frankness. Jason has forced calm. Poor Jason. Bratniss won’t shut her fat mouth. This show disrupted our expectations. This was okay if not blisteringly powerful. Rachel is impersonal. This was not stylised or expensive looking.
Aaron and Priscilla bore. Monroe’s son broods. There is copious stupidity. Jason is put in handcuffs cos of his brainwashing. Nobody is sad that that happened to him. Where do they get chalk, clean clothes, gun parts, guns and shampoo? Miles needs a kicking. Where do hookers get sexy underwear? Jason’s Patriot cadet handler gloats. What did he do to the cadets to make them brainwashed and crazy? Jason tempts fate. Governor Affleck runs California.
Leg waxing exists. Things go awry. The cadet handler is messed up. Aaron needs to shut up. Miles says they should split up. Rachel stirs the pot. Monroe and his son are caked in orange fake tan. Jason’s skill set shows up when the plot demands it. Nobody notices the Patriots activating Jason’s brainwashing. Are there no female Texas Rangers? Bratniss defeats Jason in hand to hand combat and shoots him dead. Oh come on. Miles kills one of the Texas Rangers. There is fatalism and finality. I read up on the comics that wrapped up this show after it was cancelled: what a load of crap.
