Batwoman (2019)

[Captain Craig]

This on-set, behind the scenes network and showrunner/actors interaction is more dramatic than anything they've put on screen with this show!!

If his priors were that bad, he wouldn't be on anything. That he still is means to me he's still okay at WB.

Eh, not necessarily. All movie studios have a history of sweeping misconduct by upper management under the rug, as long as they get results. As long as Johns and Berlanti are making the studio money, nothing short of a massive expose in the media will get them removed- and even that isn't guaranteed.

Only if there is evidence, which hasn't surfaced yet regarding Johns (at least anything serious).

Jesus Alice, leaving a little girl to be eaten by a Killer Croc solely to make a point? Gotta be a new low.

Luke and Mary were adorable together though

No, but the fact that these things keep happening on projects he’s an EP of make him look bad, or a very tempting scapegoat.

I guess the CBR editors don't know the difference between an allegation and a fact. That isn't to say that Rose isn't telling the truth but unless CBR did an independent investigation/confirmation, basic journalistic ethics would require them to treat this as an allegation, not a revelation.

She may be a nightmare to work with- this wouldn't be the first time I've heard about her being difficult. That doesn't mean what she said wasn't true. And I didn't read this person refuting anything she said, either.

And they lost me with 'supposed injury'. She filmed the surgery; there's nothing supposed about it. This sounds less like a rebuttal, and more like someone in the industry trying to curry favor with the office.

EDIT: It's also a bit telling that all of the rebuttals against Ruby are about her personally; they haven't said anything about her allegations at all.

I have to admit, I like that Alice left the girl there.(from a story standpoint) It would have been too easy to give Alice a simple redemptive arc, but her reasoning and emotional response made it more interesting than if she'd either tried to save the girl or had simply kept walking. I do think she was conflicted, but her ultimate message that "nobody is coming to save you" hit home just how damaged she is.

Oh, and apparently we have confirmation that the CWverse has an Aquaman?! I'm surprised CBR hasn't written a click-baity article trumpeting it over that one line of dialogue.

[Twice-named]

So, how many people know Ryan is Batwoman? Aside from her team and Alice, you definitely have Renee, the two cops/guards who transported Alice, and, from last season, Ryan’s parole officer. Presumably, other people in the GCPD now know. Not to mention the mayor’s office. Also, anyone the two guards have told. And on and on.

As I said earlier, I have no reason not to believe her, but unless CBR has some sort of independent confirmation of her allegations they shouldn't treat them as fact. Especially with other witnesses implying (truthfully or otherwise) that she isn't credible. And publishing an article the very next day that someone is "defending" WB against her doesn't burnish CBR's journalistic bona fides one bit.

So when did Alice learn who Bruce was?

Really jumping into the horror vibes with the new Killer Croc.

For Croc on a TV budget, that really isn't half bad.

Poor Waylon Jones got buried under rubble. Did Gordon authorize that? I was expecting them to dust off that cure they said they were developing, but it didn't happen. Also his wrestling persona looked like the undertaker.

I feel like if Kate was going to sign over Wayne Enterprises, such as it is (which isn't much), to anyone, it would be Mary. Although I guess now that Ryan's met her biological mom she can truly enter the world of corporate politics.

Jada had a husband whose company she took over? Obviously Ryan's brother's dad, but presumably not Ryan's...did Jada hide the birth because it was from an affair? Is Ryan's bio dad still alive? Is he part of the reason Jada had to hide it?

Did Jada not know the assumed identity of the child she gave away and forged birth documents for? Did she never even name her?

Does Sophie know Bruce Wayne was Batman? I don't think she'd have commented on him wanting Jada's bra-size if she did.

Ryan came out of that meeting with a more positive impression of Jada than I was expecting.

Y'know usually there's some humanity and actual character to Croc, but this one seems to be pure, 100%, animal, eating people and killing his dad without a second thought. Is there any saving this kid?

This episode dealt a lot of with abandonment and a parents' duty and care for their child. Alice lost her mom, Ryan's mom gave hers up (and she lost another mom), Killer Croc's dad went too far trying to save him and lost his own life, and that little girls mom was the only one that really seemed to be a winning parent.

Is Mary and Luke going to finally happen? I kept expecting it in season 1, but that scene of her checking him out (in more ways than one) definitely seemed to indicate something. I guess we're not going to see Stephanie again.

Alice's big heroic moment of the episode is basically her not being a hero. Like, at least she could've given the girl the taser.

The season's been advertising the heck out of Ryan and Alice teaming-up...and they end the partnership within the same episode. Alice just keeps screwing herself over by playing to type. Although it seems like she visits Mary next week so I guess she doesn't stay in Arkham.

I take it the implication is that Ivy's plants don't stop growing?

So when did Alice learn who Bruce was?

Hush told her.

It sure is.

[chamber-music]

The actors of Riverdale has always been at odds with the production and creative teams of the show. They don't hide their feelings at all. Quite remarkable

Yep. The Riverdale cast have mentioned how bad some of the writing is on their show. Two of the black actresses on the show were also critical of how their characters were handled. The cast have open contempt for the writers room on that show.
