NCIS- Argh, are you serious!? The second part of the season premiere ends with Tony calling Gibbs, presumably to ask what's what. And Gibbs is all, "He should know you're alive!" and Ziva's be like, "And he will!" and that's where it ends. Seriously, no face to face reunion? Though I guess its sounding unlikely as apparently there's bad blood there irl?
Supergirl- At least that didn't take long. So Kara finally reveals her secret to Lena. Which throws Lena for a loop as he had been stewing over the whole Kara lying to her this whole time thing. But lest you think everything is hunky-dory, Lena is still mad, and she's still determined to get revenge.
5 will get you 20 though that eventually she'll change her mind, but then her new AI will go forward with getting back at Supergirl. Also, looks like they're starting the set up for the big crossover early, with someone grabbing Eve, who has been apparently lying low as a random diner waitress.
Batwoman- Not bad. I thought this was fine, though there have been better Arrowverse pilots. Heh, since I was totally unaware of aspects of Batwoman's story, I had no idea her twin sister actually didn't die when they were kids. So when they hinted Alice was Kate's sister, I had no idea that to a Batwoman reader, it was quite obvious!
Black Lightning- Wait, why do people think they're different? Like people are all, where are Black Lightning and Thunder, and this other black woman who's superstrong and bulletproof shows up calling herself Blackbird, and no one is suspicious that she's Thunder?
Flash- Heh, better get cracking!
Riverdale- A fine tribute to Luke Perry. Interesting that they randomly got Shannon Doherty to play some random lady whom Fred died saving from being hit by a car. But yeah, that's how he died, he stopped to help her fix a flat tire. And some kid went for a joyride in a car, and accidentally hit him when he pushed her out of the way.
Archie was all ready to kill the kid's father when he thought it was the father who did it, but since the kid was only doing something that Archie could have done a thousand times, Archie calms down and basically forgives him.
But yeah, the town comes together to give Fred an amazing send off. Also, I totally forgot V's parents were in jail, so it surprised me when they were separately reading the obituary Jug wrote from their jail cells. And apparently Hiram paid for Fred's funeral, which Veronica finds out, but they don't explain why.
Which is one thing I had been wondering for this ep, how this grieving would go when more than a few of these characters tried to kill Fred (both V's parents, and Betty's dad too?)
