Finally got round to starting and finishing The Boys on Amazon Prime and it was strawberry floating awesome.

Just wish the Amazon Prime app on my TV didn't suck. You have to choose a specific 4k version of the show rather than having it detect what picture quality to use based on download speeds.

The app on my TV is the same, it's annoying.

I also don't like how it shows paid content amongst the stuff included with Prime.

Supergirl last night had it's final set up teasers for Crisis (Batwoman also had the Wells scene as it's stinger, but otherwise no set up)

UK viewers are screwed. :lol:

Sky has rights for Flash, Arrow, Supergirl and Legends but not Batwoman so they can't air part 2 of the crossover.

Is it Supergirl for part 1, Batwoman for 2, Arrow and Flash for 3&4?

I don't watch Supergir unless its part of a crossover.

Didn't bother watching Elseworlds but I'm beginning to wish I had done.

Just binged the Elseworlds eps (had both Arrow and The Flash already on my Amazon library) so only had to acquire the 3rd part.

I'd possibly consider watching Supergirl if it weren't such a ballache getting 5 seasons worth of episodes downloaded (CW shows seem to get taken down within days) and buying them digitally on Amazon would cost roughly 100 quid.

Don't bother catching up on Supergirl.

S1 and S2 have different redemning features (but are still solid CW fare that never exceed expectations)

Is it me or is the new Harley Quiinn actually ok?

Crisis Part 1 was great. Exactly what was expected and you can see them pushing right up against a CW budget.

Movies -

5 minutes into Crisis- Martian Manhunter definitely says "Superman's there with Lewis". I've listened to it several times and he says Lewis not Lois. :lol:

Karl Pilkington reference or mistake?

Crisis Part 2 - not quite a good as everyone's doing their own things so feels a little disjointed. Excellent guest stars though and glad it tied into BW's ongoing story a bit.

Non-Yahhh UK viewers are absolutely strawberry floated.

I do enjoy how much of an unrepentant bastard Jon Cryer's Luthor is.

Think I'm the only person here who watches it but Castle Rock season 2 was pretty great. Defintely better than season 1.

Lizzie Caplan nailed Annie Wilkes and I would love to see a new version of Misery with her in the role. Kathy Bates is still the gold standard, but Caplan got to flesh out the character a bit more and she was really good.
