And even further, in The 100.

That was the most disappointing episode of an otherwise great season so far. He's just a generic cliché Russian villain, there's nothing menacing about him. I hope the writers step it up.

He's not a captain in the 100 though, he is in both BS and AoS.

This was exasperated, imo, by Radcliffe interfering and his threatenins attitude never resulting in actions.

I have the books, but I haven't read them. And after watching the first season, I'm not sure I want to. The show was very slow, and a lot less interesting and exciting than I hoped it would be.

Legion
I honestly don't know what to make of it. It was a visual feast, but it was so confusing that I'm not fully invested yet. The problem with the unreliable narrator trope is that it can become self-indulgent, with style over substance, which is what happened to Mr. Robot. But I trust Noah Hawley; after all, Fargo is a masterpiece, and it was great to see Fargo actresses Rachel Keller and Jean Smart again. Hopefully this won't divert his attention too much from Fargo season 3...
Bottom line: I liked it enough to keep watching, but I'm not sold yet.
One thing though: the girl's name is Syd Barrett? Seriously? Not exactly what I would call subtle

Watching Jam on YouTube. What ever happened to Chris Morris? This is still the funniest, darkest thing I've ever seen.

I hope season 2 of The Expanse doesn't do that thing season 1 did where they seemed to put all their budget in the first four episodes and let it fizzle out.

This weeks episode of Legends was a fucking, pun intended, hot mess.

Yeah, the...uh...fuck I cannot even be bothered to remember their actual names. Vixen gives in and she and metal-skin guy get it on and then an hour later or something she's telling him "Our friends our out there, in danger!" or whatever. Oh, now, she realizes. And gratuitous love-making like this - (while ignoring obvious problems and more important things they should be doing - instead of each other) in every show - is just part of the massive writing-problem that seems to be plaguing these superhero shows. Now, because there are more guys on board than women, I'm not surprised that, unlike on Arrow, one protagonist hadn't had sex with most of the female characters, already.
