With Marvel commandeering the big screens for years to come, DC playing catch-up, it just feels too much that the small screen is taken over as well. And I like both Arrow and Flash got much better in the second half of te Season. Gotham was the only one I couldn`t really connect to, other than maybe the psychotic teenage love of baby!Batman and baby!Catwoman.
I do like the more clear-eyed view of human nature and the problems of various themes that is en vogue at the present, though.
There is just so few shows/writers that can pull it off, though. The only show that successfully managed this year was IMO tiny 100 on the CW. I was impressed how it grew into its own. After finding the Pilot and first few eps of Season 1 pretty dreadful. It even has a little bit of Sci-fi vibe.
I think I know what you mean; the same plot would work as well with a setting without spaceships and all that. There's no real feel of the vastness of the universe and all of the mysteries, worlds and beings out there to encounter. These narrative worlds are both rather claustrophobic and finite.
Yes, exactly. There are other shows that are genre in terms of "these things don`t happen in the real world" but I want true full blown space adventure.
