I would have watched yesterday if I didn't have to go out. I have to go out today also. The series was a missed opportunity to because of writing and budget.

Hopefully, you will get a chance to watch soon!

I was caught off guard by that almost kiss, wtf?

so does Isaac like Tom or Zenzi? or both?

tom/rowan, tom/isaac, isaac/zenzi, zenzi/congressman.. this is so messy

OMG me too! I mean...Tom/Isaac was always a possibility...but they downplayed it so much in favor of Zenzi/Isaac (which I prefer)...that it came out nowhere so randomly?!!

**AlwaysCB** · 07-14-2022, 06:34 PM

yeah it was weird and in front of everyone

it was awkward. I also prefer isaac/zenzi

**broken crown** · 07-14-2022, 06:39 PM

It felt like such a forced moment? And then of course Zenzi sees! Such predictable "drama".

- It ONLY TOOK SEVEN EPISODES...but FINALLY they are showing that TRB is a threat. Of course, it has nothing to do with Tom...but the Congressman...who apparently ACTUALLY DOES CARE about Zenzi.

- The Susannah twist was actually fantastic. I think she's a great character even though she's apparently up in there in TRB hierarchy.

- Loved seeing Quinn again.

- The showrunners/writers really love 2019 since they set the Isaac flashbacks in August 2019. Tom had some INTERESTING hair and was actually completely over the top. And three months later he's way more put together when he visits HB?

- No ND mentions or easter eggs at all...although they did say the phrase "ace of spades"...but that was purely coincidental.

- Rowan has magical blood? Lino has magical super-strength? I'm sensing a pattern?

- I couldn't care less about Tom's love life. I am not here for the love square.

- I loved learning more about Isaac though.

- I'm still suspicious of Lorraine.

- The writing in some scenes in

(Tom didn't need to be shirtless and he doesn't have to mention sex every other scene).

- LOL at Tom thinking his little squad is going to take on a global terrorist group.

- The elements of a really great show are there...but it's a shame they'll never get to figure it out.

I swear I'm going to start having nightmares about 2019! Yeah, We're supposed to believe he changed that quick?!

Yeah, shirtless Tom and another sex mention weren't even needed In this episode. Like we said a while ago. Why are they adding comic book-type subplots to this show? That's even more convoluting than the S3 Nancy Drew arc. I don't care about TRB or these ridiculous love squares. They screwed TRB up too much and waited too long. At least the flashback wigs were better than Arrow.

And they mentioned PreP and condoms. MV's ad-libbed the line "Y'all should be praying not twerking."

Maybe Tom Swift actually takes place in an alternate reality and the one we saw on ND is actually his variant??

Your guess is as good as mine?!? Soooo weird.

Great line!

Given all the magic/superpowers, it's a possibility.

**broken crown** · 07-14-2022, 07:22 PM

I mean that's basically what's going on with Superman and Lois and actually makes things ALOT easier to swallow!

Muffy_Simba · 07-14-2022, 07:34 PM

Just too much was going on.

**broken crown** · 07-14-2022, 07:49 PM

Way, way, way too much stuff going on. It makes the show so confusing!

Muffy_Simba · 07-14-2022, 09:12 PM

Even if the series went on to have five seasons. It would have still been impossible to handle that many subplots and genres.

**broken crown** · 07-14-2022, 09:14 PM

Yeah it would have been. I'm not even sure what they could have done considering they don't treat TRB as much of a threat? Maybe someone in the group will be revealed to be part of TRB after all?

The Road Back was Barclay this entire time.
