Kara

People feel hopeless. Oh FFS. There is a retcon. No wonder 'Superman & Lois' ignores this show's existence. Kara, Brainy and Lena do something deeply creepy. This was sappy. Helen Slater shows up and there is a joke made about the 'Supergirl' movie. There is a fight. Mon-El, Winn and Andrea show up for the fight. As does James Olsen. This looks cheap and Lena needs to comb her hair and Lex and his ho are hauled off to The Phantom Zone.


Kara has her friends become SJWs. Oh FFS. This was crap. There is a Lena Luthor Foundation, a William Dey building and Nia cutting a ribbon. Mon-El has a beard and looks like David from 'Teen Mom 2'. How do the cast utter such terrible lines? Cat Grant shows up. Where is Max Lord?!? Cat buys back CatCo and makes Kara editor. What became of Snapper Carr?!?


Kara rejects the editor job. What is on Alex's head at the wedding? The moppet annoys. Kelly barely features. Alex unlike Kara, ends up with her POC love interest. One can wonder why James was demoted from love interest in favour of Mon-El. Kara and Nia wear ugly dresses to the wedding. Brainy is selfish. The make up, camera angles and lighting make the cast look ugly. Kara and Winn sing, badly. Did TPTB never hear of autotune? J'onn will have a son? Cat was not invited to the wedding. Cat is an eco warrior now? Why aren't the Kent clan at the wedding? The Lena/Kara shippers are let down once more. TPTB spend a long time telling us how wonderful Kara is. Kara goes public with her true ID. Oh FFS.


Best Lines:

“I knew what your mother was. I knew what you are.”


“Built on a premise that is deeply flawed.”


“Always be our saviour Kara.”


“Secrecy is the badge of fraud.”


“This is boring!”

Cry Luison/Highway Of Tears

Louise Lombard guest stars. Renard moves. The Grimmette bores. Nick gets his Grimm back. TPTB have a consistent refusal to make this show good.


Best Lines:

“Only save you that way once.”


“Who's them?”


The Grimm Who Stole Christmas/Chupacabra

Renard tells Nick to stop being dumb. Nick's irrelevant. They finally get rid of the Grimmette. TPTB obviously hate Juliette and make her look terrible and selfish all the time. Wu is suspicious. Renard is on the phone again and then goes to meet a man in a dark parking lot. Wu calls Nick and Hank out for gaslighting him. This was terrible.


Best Lines:

“Goatsucker. We've had worse.”


“Wild dog in clothes.”

C Is For Cannibal

David stares. A student has a growing desire to eat people. The student, Mitch, ties himself to his bed so he won't gnaw on his roommate. Why is Sheryl at David's party? Why is there no covid? This was not meaningful, inspiring or relevant. Things are in disarray. Is this show meant to be funny? Why don't they light the sets properly? A symbol is seen. Leland shows up to 'help' Mitch. Leland is to 'supervise' the team now. Leland gets whacked with a shoe. There are 60 demonic houses out there. David is ordained. A daughter's lies come out. The scary book seen throughout the season belongs to the bothered daughter. An ice axe is waved. Sheryl is all in with Leland. Poor Mitch is damned by Leland. David's done. Kristen sobs and confsses and this was mmmmm.


Best Lines:

“Our fallen state.”


“Under demonic attack.”


“Life would be terrifying! Everything you'd based your life on would be wrong!”


“Drag you into hell when you die.”


“Things are not yet right in your world Kristen.”


“Diabolical infestation.”

“Going back 60 decades.”


“You can watch Netflix!”


“Chewed through his zip-ties.”

Freeze

Mr Freeze is dead. Ryan is acting CEO. Ryan's mom is a bitch and she has a half brother. This was rotten and miserable. Nora is suffering side-effects. Mary and Luke bore. Mary's useless. This was extraordinarily stupid. Does nobody ask about the fate of the 1st Batwoman? This show screwed up Kate and Hush. Sophie is the worst. Sophie was Kate's true love and now Sophie has abandoned her AGAIN! Decency is set aside. Nora's sister looks like tan mom. There is misery in this terrible ep. No one notices Mary being dragged into the bushes by a plant. This was so darned unpleasant.


Best Lines:

“Mr Freeze dude.”


“Captain Cold wasn't really a Captain.”


“Risen above your circumstances.”


“Severly regret that decision.”

Lead Me Home (2021)

This homeless documetnary was filmed from 2017-2021 in LA and Seattle. It is short and sad. Tents by the freeway are seen. There are free showers and med care. There is obvius drug use and obvious mental illness. People try to get safety, food, laundry and shelter while dealing with pregnancy, kids, violence and dogs. There is a raid on a homeless camp. Echo Park is seen. As are tent cities.


Best Lines:

“Can we not do this at the showers please?”


“Tsunami of homelessness.”

“Kicked my door in.”

“There's a better life out there.”


“Paycheque away from being in a tent.”

Chapter Ninety-Seven Ghosts Stories

Cheryl should be high on their list of adversaries, but isn't. There are dark secrets and a cultural quandary in this bonkers ep that is full of ridiculousness. Jughead spews exposition. Cheryl murdered Archie and no one seems to have noticed. She got away with it like she gets away with everything. There are gang warz that pass unnoticed. Has nobody noticed Cheryl's murderous ways? Tabitha and Jughead learn secrets. Betty plans baby names. Cheryl wears a tiny metallic mini. Kevin lurks. Reggie lies. An apartment hides secrets. This is not working. All this was pointless.


Best Line:

“A different soul will take her place.”


Chapter Ninety-Eight Mr Cypher

This was fanciful and full of simmering rage. There is a turbulent aftermath. This was idiotic and superfluous. There is no unsettling strangeness. This was perplexing. Reggie goes to hell due to his bad plotting. This was blandly samey. This was all unintentional camp. There is acute social harm. Alice is anti-casino. Pop is in peril. Louis Cypher visits town. Why does the devil want a diner? Lochlyn Munro makes a cameo.


There is no clear rationale for this show. This proves ineffective. Betty and TBK chat. Or do they? Louis is inept. This was not consequential. There are tapes. This was relentlessly crap. There is no potency. This was muddled and not a grinding psychodrama.


Reggie sold Veronica. This show is perennially shameful. Watching this show makes you feel like Sisyphus. Veronica tried to damn Alice. There are increasingly shrill outbursts and talk of wants and desires. Polly's in hell? This was contemptible. Betty goes nutzoid. The devil is a trickster. There is repetitive rejection of logic. There are song and dance routines. This was much resented. People are tetchy. This was preposterous. People are insuperably hostile in this disastrously dumb show.


Best Lines:

“The devil's holiday.”


“The devil that visits.”


“House of sin.”


“Damned and doomed.”


“Casinos breed evil-doing.”


“Skim money.”


“Miserable, paltry thing.”


“We read your interview with the devil.”


“Endless suffering.”


“Mother of all destruction and abominaiton.”


“I'm the whore of Babylon from The Book Of Revelation?”


“Sold me down the river styx!”

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists 1x05


The Patchwork Girl

The prats scream. Alison has seen Taylor so Taylor tries to kill her?!? People plot. Mona talks to a creepy janitor. Taylor screams. The person who revealed Ava's background is revealed. People get violent. The FBI agent stalks Ava. There is a car accident. This was bad.


Best Lines:

“You're a miserable human being.”


“Some crazy man who lives in a basement!”

La Brea 1x10


Topanga

This is the season 1 finale. Eve is selfish. Why is Lilly hanging out with her kidnapper? The stoner wonders why there are so many strange things in 10,000 BC like a barcoded cow. This is boring. Gavin, Lilly and the ignored daughter jump into a hole. There's a tower. People fall through a hole. There is bad acting. A mammoth is seen.


Best Lines:

“Our proof is a map from 10,000 BC.”


“So many strange things.”


“If you go, there's no way back.”
