Thoughts on the Season Premiers

OK, so I’ve been thinking about the season premiers of Flash, LoT, Supergirl, and Arrow, and I have some thoughts.

Supergirl- WAAYYY to Emo Kid in the first half/two-thirds of the show. I get it, you had to say goodbye to your BF.  But seriously, he’s not dead.  It was a little too much for me.  Also, when the sub was attacking the plaza, Alex and Maggie could have been doing a lot more crowd control than just standing there staring at the water.  Just my thoughts. And can someone decide whether Catco is a newspaper or a magazine?  They can never keep it straight.  Plus, I’m always up for Adrian Pasdar being the bad guy, I’m just so happy that he shaved the terrible S.H.I.E.L.D. mustache.  That being said, the scene with Alex and J’onn was awesome. They have always had such an amazing relationship.

Flash- It was the Flash.  I am, however, intrigued by some of the things Barry said while his brain was scrambled.  Maybe they’ll use flashbacks at times to show what the Speedforce did to Barry while he was in it?  It didn’t seem like he was living a happy fantasy there.  Iris was a BAMF, but is she still a reporter?  The writers seem to keep forgetting what her job is supposed to be. I’m glad they’re giving Caitlin more storyline, especially now that she’s got the Jekyll/Hyde thing going on.  The thinker was creepy, looked like Darth Vader without the front of his helmet.

Legends of Tomorrow- Ok.  I have a lot of issues of where all the characters were before they decided to get the gang back together.   First of all, if Sara was living in Star City, don’t you think Oliver would have given her a job?  That way they wouldn’t have had to build a store set that was, in my opinion, a waste of time.  You could have easily had her doing something mundane at City Hall without having to pay any of the Arrow cast to appear.  And Ray working at a terrible dating startup would not be what I’d have him do either, and I found the jab that his boss made about ‘giving his company to a woman who ran it into the ground’ a bit callous and not true to what actually happened. I guess it irked my feminist side a bit.  I did find it funny that the guy who played Caesar was in Spartacus as Marcus Crassus, adding yet another Spartacus actor to appear in the Arrowverse.  Yay, geeky knowledge.  Otherwise it was a decent episode, although have we ever seen Amaya use more than one animal at a time, or is that a new development?  That was pretty cool.

Arrow- OK.  This was very good. My headcannon was that Diggle had inhaled a lot of smoke/fire and had lung damage, which hindered his ability in the field, but something neurological is just as good.  But he did have a scar on his pec as he was putting his shirt on at the end, right?  So nerve damage works.  Also, I know a lot of people were commenting on the “not just friends” chemistry he and Dinah had, but I felt that last season too between them.  Either way, they still have a friendship that works for me. Also, did Dinah's voice change a bit from last season?  I liked Wild Dog's suit upgrade, but at first I thought he was Vigilante because they looked similar. The flashbacks to the island were pretty choppy, and them all taking cover in the airplane was a little too convenient, but, hey, plot device!  I’d be interested in seeing if they show any more of them getting off the island/ whole team reuniting.  And everyone was right about the Thea in a coma outcome.  I know some of the media outlets said that having everyone but Samantha survive was a little too optimistic, but given all that they’ve been through, plus she was only a secondary character, it seems appropriate.  Everyone’s outfits were ON POINT, so props to wardrobe!!!  Plus, Oliver character growth and Olicity flirting gave me all the feels.  The Quentin guilt story-line was a bit over exaggerated, I think.  I’ve decided to count all the times he says “my baby girl”, because they use that a LOT.  I get he has grief, but they explained to him like 4 different times both last season and in the premier that she’s not his kid.  (Plus, in my head, if Sara was in Star City per LoT, wouldn’t he be a bit happier because she’d be around/ probably staying with him?  That makes a lot more sense to me.) Either way, very happy with the premier, bring on the new season!

Let me know if you have any thoughts to add!!  I love hearing/sharing thoughts with others in the fandom!
