Two thoughts on iZombie and Supergirl

[conuly]

1. "What's your Kryptonite?" Does everybody know about this little weakness? I mean, I can see the overt baddies knowing, but how widespread is this information? Isn't that the sort of thing you want to keep hush-hush?

2. The look on everybody's face when they found out the deceased was a huge gossip was hilarious. Clive makes the very best straight man.

I know! I did a double-take, too.

There is a Watsonian explanation, of course: Lena is Lex Luthor's sister; he must have ranted about Superman, his strengths and weaknesses at length to her. And for Lena using it in somewhat casual conversation, there are two explanations -- one, she's not aware it's not that commonly known (she has "no friends", remember), or she is and once more teases Kara for being Supergirl without telling her.

I would prefer the second option, for many reasons.

That's a good explanation. I think I prefer your first reason, though. Poor Lena woobie!

I was about to start ranting to you about The Flash, but I don't know if you even watch that.

It does seem like kryptonite has been common knowledge from the Supergirl show's beginning. And the actor who plays Ravi on iZombie (I've forgotten his name), I liked seeing him do something different and liked his chemistry with Lena. Although I knew the moment he appeared that he had to be either a villain, or doomed to die, since he has to be Ravi on iZombie. But something about this... I never found myself terribly attracted to the actor while he was playing Ravi, but I found him really interesting as Jack, and may have developed an unexpected crush.

I love Clive. And I also kinda liked the Man of La Mancha thing with Major... I often find Major annoying, but this amused me.

I do usually watch it, but I haven't really gotten into this season and am about 3 episodes behind right now. But I actually don't mind spoilers at all, so if it's a general rant, I can still read it!

Rahul. I mean, he has a last name too, but I wouldn't call him that to his face so I don't remember it.

I never found myself terribly attracted to the actor while he was playing Ravi, but I found him really interesting as Jack, and may have developed an unexpected crush.

I had absolutely the opposite reaction. He's usually kinda adorkable, in an adorable way (well, except for the recent contrived love triangle....) but in this incarnation, meh. Love the actor's tweets when people post them up for general consumption, though.

He just seemed so sad, and I realized his lower lip was very appealing, okay? :)

The Flash... I'm frustrated with the decisions the characters make, but I'm always frustrated by that. I don't want to spoil the latest episode but some of what was defined in it I didn't care for. Killer Frost bothers me. Cisco gets powers without being evil, Wally gets powers without being evil, Jesse Quick gets powers without being evil. Why the hell can't Caitlin have powers without them turning her evil? I hate it. I mean, I still enjoy the show, but I hate that.

In the hands of better writers, because psychology.

My kryptonite would be raised voices. I can't bear being shouted at or in an environment with people like that. I just shut down.
