So I'll admit, the cliff-hanger with Not-Alice-Beth is intriguing; not sure they'll actually pay it off decently, but they have my interest to see how this is going to play out.
That said, if this is really supposed to be a version of Beth who didn't become Alice, would she really not know who Sophie is? I mean, admittedly, most of the time watching this show I can't remember what Sophie's name is; and it was really only through inference of the context of whose custody Alice would be in that I understood her name was Sophie. But this is supposed to be Kate's twin sister, one who has allegedly had a close relationship with Kate over the last 15 years; so are we to believe that Kate would never have confided in her about her past relationship with the woman who went on to work for their dad? Even Kate's step-sister Mary knows who Sophie is.
Okay, random question for everyone out there - has the volume for the CW shows seemed unusually low lately, particularly for any Dish users out there? I'm fairly certain it's neither my hearing nor my tv itself, because when I switch it over to Roku, I've always had to turn it way down from where I normally have the volume set when watching stuff from my DVR. But lately, pretty much since the CW shows came back from break, I've had to crank the volume up even more than usual to properly hear it; even more so than other programs....
Yeah, I just bet that cat didn't try to get out from the bag or wherever lil' Beth stuffed it; or made any sound.
Sure, Beth wrote a 300 page dissertation on astrophysics or whatever, but the only password she could remember was "waffles". And mind you this from Kate's perspective from when they were kids 15 years ago, when you didn't need nearly as many passwords as you do today, let alone the absolute necessity for those passwords to actually be fucking strong. They might as well have said her password was Password.
Gee, I wonder if Kate mentioning survival training and saying "Let Alice go. Let Alice go." is a code....?
Not going to lie, there hasn't been a lot of complain about with this episode. The plot device of an alternate Beth landing on New Earth is more than a little convenient, but I've seen worse. It's basically the Iolas treatment from back in the days of Hercules. I'm just hoping this isn't a contrived one-off where Beth is around just long enough to fulfill the necessities of this plot, only to bugger off back to her Earth. I would kind of prefer they just embrace there being two Beths, one good, one batshit crazy - or just kill off Alice.
Okay, I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that they would create a scenario where Kate could literally save Beth from a car.... It's a convenient parallel, but effective.
I have mixed feelings about whether Batwoman's earned the city's trust to such a degree as to have protester storm the GCPD demanding to turn on the batsignal. On the one hand, she managed to bring in Alice where others failed, but on the other she's still fairly new on the scene and not that long ago the city was making a big to do about decommissioning the batsignal.
I think a more effective way to have gone about it might have been something akin to something I know they did in a Green Lantern comic and they may have done it in a Batman comic too - where in lieu of the police shining the batsignal, individuals just start shining their own homemade ones from their windows. I'm not sure that it would have the same impact; and arguably that scenario or the case of what they did here, should probably be reserved as the climax for a bigger moment where the city throwing its support behind Batwoman has greater meaning.
Jesus, it took all of five minutes of torment and hard time for Jacob to crack.
Wait, Mary is just now working out that Beth is from a parallel universe? I get that they can't tell her about Kate's role in Crisis, but what did they her in the first place to explain who she is?
And how much did Kate tell Beth about everything?
Of course they're going to have the two Beths causing some sort of problem....
