So based on the opening scene, I'm guessing there was a discussion that went something like this:
Director: We've shot and edited the episode you wrote and it's only 20 minutes long.
Writer: What? How is that possible? It filled like at least 30 pages, one-sided.
Director: How big was the font?
Writer: I don't know, like 20-25 pt? What does that have to do with anything...?
Director: Look, we need them to do more in the episode to pad the run time, what have you got?
Writer: Oh, what if at the start of the episode they sing karaoke?
Director: Alright, so what are the characters talking about as they take turns singing?
Writer: What? No, I mean that is literally the scene; just them singing karaoke. Like have Kara and that William guy sing a Toto song - "Africa" or something.
Director: Right, but I mean that's only going to be good for a couple of minutes of material....
Writer: Nah, that song goes on for a while.
Director: You mean we should....
Writer: Have them sing the whole fucking song? Yeah. Maybe twice.
Director: Oh, say, before Winn leaves, maybe we should mention what his Legionnaire nickname is. Got any suggestions?
Writer: Not off the top of my head. They like calling their heroes "something" Lass or Lad, right?
Director: Something like that; they're often very literal names.
Writer: Right. So how about Computer Lad?
Director: Is that the best you can come up with?
Writer: Possibly. I'm super high right now.
Director: Yeah, no, I could tell based on how red your eyes are and the words you've been saying.
Writer: Yeah, you look like a talking lizard right now.
Director: I assure you I'm not. But back to Winn's codename, will people even still be considering the informational devices they use "computers" a thousand years from now?
Writer: Maybe, what do they call them now?
Director: Phones.
Writer: Right. I have one of those. In fact, I wrote the script on my phone.
Director: Well, let's use "Computer Lad" as a placeholder for now and I'm sure we'll come up with something better to use by the time we film it.
Writer: Yeah, I'm sure we will.
That's a pretty shitty laser defense system if literally everyone it targets manages to deflect the laser.
Wait, so the DEO has some sort of WMD as their power core that detonate in the event their servers go down? Even if they're referring to the physical placement of the servers and the effects of destroying them causing the "core" to go critical; it seems like a pretty serious design flaw that everything in a 3 mile radius gets destroyed if something bad goes down at the DEO. Especially considering how often something bad has gone down at the DEO; you know, the place they house super-dangerous criminals with powers?
You know a great place to build a facility that could destroy everything in a 3-mile radius if it's ever compromised? 4 miles away from anything and anyone you don't want destroyed in the event its ever compromised.
What is it with these shows and landlines? First Mary wacks Alice over the head with one in the Batwoman episode that immediately preceded this episode; which then turned out to be an active phone for Alice to use. Now there's one in the DEO, apparently placed there by Lex... you know, the tech genius....
Why do they keep referring to the internet as the world wide web? Does anyone under 70 still call it that?
You know, this whole thing of Lex being in charge of the DEO would make a lot more sense if they simply had him be President in the rebooted timeline. The idea of the DEO being somehow privately owned by Lex makes no fucking sense.
Why would the downloaded consciousness of a super tech smart psychopath restrict his AI to just one server instead of copying his code and running himself across all servers he can access at the DEO and make it that much more difficult for the DEO agents to isolate him and stop him? I mean, that's the inherent danger of him getting access to the internet, right? He gains access to the outside network and he's everywhere, not just one server.
Plus, how much storage would an AI of someone's consciousness, even a facsimile of a human consciousness, take up that it fits on a laptop hard drive, much less a single server?
Wait, Winn is the only one who knows the code? Why isn't that the first thing he says or for that matter, why was anyone else planning on going?
And Winn also has tech that lets him crawl around inside technology that he's conveniently neglected to mention until it was absolutely necessary to use; and not, I don't know, a few hours earlier when trying to figure out how to stop this cyber-threat.
How does Alex not know the DEO has Lexosuits? When everyone was given their pre-Crisis memories, did they lose their Post-Crisis memories?
Director: We've shot and edited the episode you wrote and it's only 20 minutes long.
