Arrow - They keep dragging this out so as to build up to Legends. You get the feeling stuff has been crowbarred in at the last moment the dialogue and even the actions scenes are so crap now. And Arrow never struggled with action scenes. A lot of the scenes clearly haven't had any processing work done, to the extent it looks like B footage. Other scenes have had way too MUCH work done. You can piss off with your lens flare.
Flash - Another mess. More crap dialogue, characters being totally forgotten about and making totally illogical decisions etc. Again, all for Legends.
Gotham - Every moment of brilliance is immediately ruined in the next scene.
SHIELD - One of the best episodes in a long time because it's so focused.
Supergirl - It's only the first episode, but at the moment this often feels like a romcom. Everyone's as subtle as a housebrick to the face. The action scenes are great though.
Between the writing and the actress it's not yet clear why you should give a crap about her. Hopefully that will change.

Just as much as I was shocked when I realised Malcolm in the Middle's dad is Walter White.

I read that link last night. It does seem somewhat of an arse-about-face move on the part of CBS, but if they want to try and push people to their online TV service, how else are they going to do it? There's more than a year yet before it starts screening, so I guess things can (and likely will) change, but I guess the crux of the thing is that there's simply not enough content on the CBS online site to get people to pay the current price. It'll be interesting to find out how the rest of the world will be presented with the show, which is still to be determined. Mark

It's Bryan Fuller - he who did Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. The guy's got a good pedigree. Mark

I know of 'em but that's all. It was the talk of spinning it out already that really caught my eye.
