Ah... April 26.
More like Gerrit Cole...the newest pitcher for my Yankees! That's Berlanti for you.
I like the stand alone episodes as they drag the arcs out too long. Arcs should be short with stand alone episodes in between.
I think Lex will be front and center for the remainder of S5. I was thinking his plans for using the Toy Man immortality code with non Nocere would backfire, possibly trapping him in cyberspace or something, and put him on the back burner, albeit likely temporarily, in S6. Hopefully they can finish filming S5 before they shut down. Flash just announced it was shutting down, along with Riverdale, due to Coronavirus.
I agree. I'm sick and tired of the Lex character on the show. Unfortunately it looks like he will be featured in upcoming episodes. But when his time comes and it will....... I hope Lena shoots him again and then turns the gun on herself but survives. They can take it from there.
I've been thinking about this a lot and I still have a hard time putting my finger on why this season isn't really working for me and among a bunch of reasons I think the "Black Mirror" style threats with Leviathan, Hololenses, Non Nocere, multiple Brainys, personality eating microbots are a big reason. They just don't work for me at all. It just all feels like confusing to silly technobabble rather than an engaging threats that really make you philosophize about the world.
Can't believe I find myself actually nostalgic of the times of alien politics metaphors, because those at least felt like they meant something to Kara even when it was hokey, rather than it just feeling like characters giving out more and more technobabble.
I know people complain about standalone episodes, but I feel myself actually keeping my fingers crossed for a more conventional tale of Supergirl helping somebody.
I really, really hope the next season has a completely different core theme.
