now it has gotten silly..
something happened 200yrs ago to one family by Bruce Wayne's ancestors.

the descendants of that family now want revenge by killing Bruce and destroying Gotham.

WTF?!
why would people 3 generations removed care about what happened?!
it's like you discovered your great great grandparents were slaves that were tortured and killed by the landowner.

so what? u didn't know them. and why take it out on the great grand children of that landowner?!


on a positive side, I like this incarnation of Firebug.

I thought his main beef was that they were "erased" from the city's history, so naturally, he has to erase everyone else's.
It is a classic supervillain story.

I didn't get it, why didn't they shoot her, like they shot the other guy, and instead, that cop tried to tackle her?

You would think Enigma would know better than to bury her like that...and the bit about who ate the sandwich was a interesting twist. :)

is anyone else a little creeped out by silver st. cloud's attractiveness? she's like, what, 12? it's a little disturbing how all these hormones being put into the foods we eat are physically maturing children faster than they should. our brains are wired to find certain physical evidence of maturity attractive, and when they're happening too soon, it's pretty unsettling. what if you have a daughter and she's 12 and has a full c-cup and looks like some victoria's secret model? or if you've got a 14-year-old son who's ripped as hell and looking like some kind of calvin klein model? it can't be too healthy for a society.

i feel like pedobear is lurking somewhere in the background of every scene she's in lol

Genetics can be a bit odd in and of itself.

When I was engaged to my first wife back in 1978, who had done some modeling and was 18, we used to hang out a lot at South Shore in Hawaii. She lived at home right near Diamond Head at the time. Of course her dad was a executive VP at Payne Weber, and could afford to.

She had a neighbor who came to the beach with us one day, they both were in bikini's.

She asked me to guess how old she was, when she went to go into the water away from us. I thought older than her.

She was 14 and looked like a Sports Illustrated supermodel.

So the Wife and I started watching this a few months back on Netflix. I clicked the next episode (S01E19) and we both had the same feeling that we've been watching this show for YEARS. It just feels like it is taking forever. By episode 19 it feels like we should be on S03E08 or so.

I mean, I do like the show so far. The characters are good and all. Development is important for a long running show. But it just feels like I've been at it forever with this show.

Nice episode... Mr. Freeze's gun is how a freeze gun is meant to work, unlike in Legends of Tomorrow...

my wife said the same thing. we watch on hulu and she goes, "wait, we're only on season 2? what the fuck? why does it feel like we've been watching this show for at least 3 seasons?"
