geebsTV commentary:
Runaways- The parents on this show are pretty interesting as well. You know, Gertrude's parents don't seem so bad, they just seem like weirdo hippies. And Nico was saying she feels alone in her house, but while her mom is indeed pretty cold, her dad seems okay and supportive. Chase's mom also seems nice. They seem the least evil of the adults.
Next come the Wilders, who are undoubtedly bad guys. But they come off more as people who want a good life for themselves and their son, but are willing to do anything to do that. Finally, you have Karolina's mom, who's creepy as hell being Miss Cult Leader, and Chase's dad, who's an arrogant dick. I'm not sure which I'd rank as the worst.
Interesting changes from the comics though. I guess with 6 kids, and their parents, that's a lot of characters, so they just have Molly's parents be dead and have her living with the Yorkes instead.
They also add a sister for Nico, Amy, who died before the series, who's death split the gang. So instead of them being from different schools who only see each other when their parents meet, the kids being from the same school allows them to interact more.
Which, hilariously, since they can just hang out at school to try and figure out what exactly is going on, they don't end up running away, despite that being the name of the series.
Anyways, I've only seen 2 of the 3 eps, wonder what Amy died from? Was it a random accident? Did it have something to do with the Gibborim?
Also, apparently Marvel has some rule against magic in their shows? Things approximating magic have to be just really advanced tech. Although it definitely seems like there's been mystical stuff on their shows- Ghost Rider, the Darkhold, the Hand? Though I guess they weren't exactly slinging spells around. Perhaps you can allude to mysterious powers like Ghost Rider turning into a burning skeletal demon, or the Hand being able to bring people back to life. But if you have the Staff of One doing all the stuff it does, it has to be a high tech object?
NCIS- I knew it! The lady hostage was secretly the bad guy's accomplice! I mean, she tried too hard to actually find stuff when she was patting down Gibbs and Bishop.
But hey, looks like the twins have come- Delilah named the boy after Mcgee's father John, and Mcgee named the girl Morgan after the random security guard he just met during the case of the week.
Flash- Heh, wonder if Devoe caught the reference later? Thawne-Wells telling Devoe he was a fan of his work at the press conference before the particle accelerator explosion. Did he figure out that this was a fake evil Wells from the future who knew what he'd done?
Glad Barry was able to prove Devoe was evil, I'd hate for them to draw it out for more than an ep.
