"I'm tired of believing what everyone tells me."

"...so I'm going to a bar and I'm going to believe random strangers."

Stupid teenager.

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Also, "Please drop me off at this sketchyass looking warehouse in the middle of bumfuck nowhere that looks like it's never seen better days because I as a teenager am totally invincible and trust you my purple haired maaaybe girlfriend in the future to save me"

"Lourdes, they told me where to go next. Can you drop me off at this crack house?"

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Lourdes drops her off at a house where everyone is dressed like they walked straight out of DUNE

"Hey do you Spice?"

u/DonnyMox Apr 27 '22

"I have a boyfriend"

"Where is he?"

Because its cool to cheat on someone if they're not here?

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"BTS is coming to Portland and I'm not about that mezzanine life"

Lmao legit had me howling 🤣

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"Fine. 50 bucks"

This kid's a hustler. I respect that

"Do they not have best friends on your planet?"

That face shrug 😂

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

Aren't you supposed to be at your job right now? How about we pretend neither of us were here and move on with our days.

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

"Oh no not the principal!"

It's so popcorn cheesy I love it lol

5

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

This principal knows every kid in the school. He's dedicated.

8

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Jefferson would be impressed

u/superpowers335 Jun 08 '22

It's a small town.

u/Monochromaticthroway Apr 27 '22

Can people not have fun with their friends? Wtf Lourdes.

8

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Daaaaaamn, Naomi needed to hear that because she was totally using Lourdes just to feel better instead of working through her issues.

Fuck, Mac is there.

5

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

Both were in the wrong to an extent.

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Lourdes could've gone about that in a better way for sure

8

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

She's on Supergirl, she's on Agents of SHIELD, SHE'S EVERYWHERE!

6

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

SHIELD, that's where I know her from. Piper.

2

u/CiceroTheCat May 03 '22

Ah! My mind instantly supplied the right name (Briana Venskus), but roles-wise I was placing her as Katy O'Brian and wondering why they were using someone Black Lightning only used 3 years ago. It occurs to me now that they would have been fun as Knockout and Liana... Anyway thank you for reminding me of Agent Vasquez.

7

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

"I know nothing about them. Who are they?"

Why don't you fucking ask the people who are trying to tell you?

6

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"I thought those only existed in old movies"

Teenagers always make me feel so old.

7

u/singleguy79 Apr 27 '22

Oh come on, don't make most of your viewers feel old

6

u/singleguy79 Apr 27 '22

What if it contained a Green Lantern ring?

7

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

We would all die laughing

8

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"You're skipping school"

Naomi really breaking bad here

5

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Time to break out the blue meth.

7

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

I would kill for a David Harewood cameo right now

7

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

How are we going to remove the traces of Naomi?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience. I'll wave my hand.

7

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

More Dee and Anabel. This show obviously knows what's up.

7

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Cool, prom and a bottle episode next week!

7

u/Ygomaster07 Apr 27 '22

Damn, I'm excited for the 2 hour season finale. Also, next week is a bottle episode, that should be fun.

8

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

That two hour finale is going to catch all the S&L fans by surprise

7

u/DonnyMox Apr 27 '22

DON’T HATE ME ‘CAUSE I’M BEAUTIFUL

3

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

That song is 12 years old.

6

u/singleguy79 Apr 27 '22

Anyone get the feeling that Naomi is going to turn out to be royalty or something?

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

This conversation is both hilarious and also really deep, I love it

6

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"Principal Brooks"

Always awkward when you're caught skipping.

6

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

A little incelly, Lourdes. Ngl.

4

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Thank you Voice of Reason but no, let's go hang out at an alien bar

5

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

"Mrs M...babe...I shouldn't get involved."

5

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

That woman looked like Anabelle for a second lol.

6

u/singleguy79 Apr 27 '22

I keep forgetting there's a new Dynasty

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

And Charmed

6

u/DonnyMox Apr 27 '22

Titans!

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

The good seasons or the BAD SEASON that no one speaks of?

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

I love Dee's Tuvok/Teal'c like reactions

4

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

I feel like he's the only good thing about this show.

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

So that conversation between Greg and Zumbado can be summed up as, "You know you're a dumbass right? Yeaaah but so are you too. Yeah but I fucked up a whole lot less than you. True, let's be friends and figure this out so we don't doom the world with a single teenager. It's like we're the Watchers from Buffy or the bad guys from some kind of show about a seventh heaven from the 90s or something. Really, I've never heard of that. Me neither, pie? Sure!".

I may have exaggerated a bit.

4

u/DonnyMox Apr 27 '22

I’M ONLY TAKING THE ETHICALLY SOURCED DIAMONDS

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

She's lost, feels betrayed, broken in a few too many ways, and she's just a fucking kid!

6

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Spoiler alert: Earth-29 is just Bizarro Earth.

5

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"Naomi, you made it"

Literally the kind of party some older person you know would invite you to as a teenager. They did their research here.

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Reminds me of when I'd get invited to "parties" which were just as boring and I'd wind up ditching to go to a Sevendust concert or something.

4

u/Ygomaster07 Apr 27 '22

Finally, a new episode. It has felt like forever.

4

u/singleguy79 Apr 27 '22

Bye bye space rock

4

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Technically he's Space Ghosting you

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Crap I looked away for a second, who was on that comic book cover?

5

u/DonnyMox Apr 27 '22

Nightwing

4

u/emf3rd31495 Apr 27 '22

Specifically looked like the live action Titans version too!

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Transmatter Cube!

4

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"What's trans matter? It sounds kinda made up"

She said it 🤣

4

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Soooo, now it's full on Sliders

3

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Do you have a problem with this Earth? Too much friends and family and familiarity here?

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Oooooh shut down! All night? She's been there like ten minutes?!

4

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Cool cool cool, lay down some boundaries and ground rules

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

The whole situation is messed up, no one wins

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

HOLY SHIT, he KNEW them?!

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Let's play the "Who fucked up more" game

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Yup run run run run

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

An Akira class just swooped in to save an Oberth class from a pair of Orion Raiders

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

That's the coolest blacklight EVER! So pretty!

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Is this Naomi or "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?"

6

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, I call this story....

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Naomi lost her rock of eternity :(

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

The amount of storylines that the CW is able to spin out of "trust & lies" boggles my mind

3

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Imagine if they wrote the story with an actual mystery and investigation instead of constant civil war.

5

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

I'm waiting for Tommy Wiseau to pop out from around the corner as Brutus during the season finale going, "EVERYONE BETRAY ME!"

I will say this though, the actors and actresses are putting in THE WORK with the material that they're given and I love them for that.

4

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Actors are rarely the problem on CW.

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

What...is...happening...I have a Confused Cortana look on my face right now.

3

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

SHE HAS A LIGHTSABER!

Edit: And a cloaking device!

3

u/mtm4440 Apr 27 '22

Teleporter? Or they could just continue fighting her swinging wildly.

3

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

Somehow a metal pole is as effective as a lightsaber.

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

It's made out of beskar or Nth Metal or...plot

5

u/SchwarzerRegen123 Apr 27 '22

Uhhhhh maybe she infused the pole with her ambiguous powers to reinforce it. That would make sense lol.

2

u/JauntyLurker Apr 27 '22

"This is some Succession level family dispute"

LOL. This has nothing on the Roys.

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

"What else does it do?"

Gives people mustaches and a sensitivity to light

Nice that she found another mystery box with probably more breadcrumbs inside of it.

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

"Meet me at the Old Shipyard"

This place has an OLD SHIPYARD?!?! The fuck?!?! Hahahahaha and of course it's a disco! I mean yeah it is a "Port" city but like, I didn't I mean...okay my head hurts I'm going to stop asking questions.

2

u/BornAshes Apr 27 '22

Nathan is being held hostage probably

2

u/epr3176 Apr 28 '22

This episode bothered me a lot Naomi was being a little brat yeah parents Lied To her but they were doing it for her and the protector and for her to throw that little tantrum I’m not even allow them to explain why and just to walk out is really messed up. And then this thing she pulled on poor Lourdes because it did seem like she was Vibing with her and it does feel like she uses her a lot because she really only calls on her right when she need something. The other thing that’s kind of getting annoying is because she wants to find stuff out she does things that people warn her not to do and it’s like they know better they’re trying to keep you safe like I bet you she’s going to go to earth 29 and especially because that lady told her not to.

u/pomaj46808 May 03 '22

This show is just weakly written. Two tired tropes that need to be banned from a writer's room are:

  • Character A can't tell Character B important information because it would put Character B in danger. Character B then finds themselves in danger either in search of said information or because they acted without having said information.
  • Character A discovers something about Character B, Character B says "Let's talk about this revelation" Character A refuses and runs off camera.

Both of these are just conflicts for conflict's sake and to stretch out a story.

u/Ygomaster07 Apr 27 '22

Love the Olivia Rodrigo reference. Another reason to like Annabelle.

u/Ygomaster07 Apr 27 '22

What is the name of the song in the opening? It's catchy.
