Spoilers Batwoman - Season 2

Mary is a medical student.

She's not allowed to treat patents.

Her tools and drugs, are suspicious, and probably not that clean?

People should have died under her care that would have been fine in a real clinic with a real Doctor.
 
I could see her disagreeing for those reasons but it seemed an odd place to hang "I will never forgive you".

Not really, because it underlined that he doesn't understand her and is just continuing his old patterns that caused their rift in the first place. In its own way, the suggestion of making her clinic "legit" was as much a rejection of its purpose as shutting it down in the first place was.

This is no doubt overstating it, but as an analogy, imagine that a daughter came out as a lesbian to her father, he refused to accept it and they had a big fight over it, and then his idea of a peace offering was "Let me get you conversion therapy to turn you straight." It's trying to "fix" her by his standards instead of trying to understand hers.
 
Even if was a fairly surface level treatment, it was nice to see them address an issue like private prisons.
Sionis setting Jacob up to get addicted to the snake bite was a pretty crappy thing to do, but he is our bad guy, so I that's to be expected.
I'm not surprised Angelique got attacked once she left the prison.
It was nice to see Luke get a badass heroic moment with the lightning gun at the end.
 
I'm not surprised Angelique got attacked once she left the prison.

Which is the problem -- it was way too predictable. They knew she was being targeted for assassination, so why weren't they in a bulletproof van, and why didn't they have a bigger escort? It was too contrived.
 
-Did that voice recorder have VCR tracking lines when Alice rewound?

Heh.

- I like Black Mask/Sionis as a villain so far

He's definitely a believable threat if he's willing to keep Jacob addicted to Snake Bite.

- I'll never forgive you for trying to make my clinic legal and legit, I hate you!

Well, with the Mary character, its all about her, so the moment she sees Jacob walking up to her and clearly saying he's not there to cause a problem, she refuses to hear what he's saying and how he's trying to reach out. That. and her reasoning for rejecting real doctors and making the clinic legitimate were absurd. As it stands, she could spend a very long time in prison for running an unlicensed clinic (she has Jacob and Crows to thank that she did not end up in jail). Being a legitimate clinic does not prevent or control who she chooses to treat (really, the writers need to spend a day at real, barebones clinics serving poor communities, like many I know of in the struggling areas of East Los Angeles--they attempt to see & treat just about anyone, insurance or not.

By investing her own ocean of money into it, she could easily offset the cost of treating the uninsured, or anyone else not being served by the hospital "families" in Gotham.

Oh well, Jacob--hurt by Mary--found it easy to get back into shooting-up / fantasizing about the father he wanted to be.

Isn't it DEG? But yeah, even though I get the reality of how these shows function I kept thinking about Black Lightning as well. I was wondering if we might at least get a mention of Gambi or ASA or something but no.

Nope. In addition to the timelines being all over the place, series-to-series continuity / recognition was not that hot to begin with, hence the reason no one on Superman and Lois say nothing about Supergirl...unless you give the showrunners the benefit of the doubt and theorize that she's not referred to because in their moment in time, they already know what happened to her (i.e., how her series will end), and that cannot be spoiled now.

People should have died under her care that would have been fine in a real clinic with a real Doctor.

Well, its not "fine" when it happens at real hospitals, but yes, in the real world, the totality of Mary's actions in that clinic would have led to her sporting an orange jumpsuit by now.
 
Well how does Mary dispose of the bodies when her patients die with out seeming like a serial killer?

If she has a favourite dumpster, or a secluded jetty on the docks, if she's winding up with one or two corpses a month, the cops or Batwoman are going to notice and begin an investigation onto who is making all these dead people.

Oh god.

She sells the bodies.

Harvests the organs, and send them out into the world to save people.

Actually since she doesn't need the money, she could break the black market in half by underselling the competition.

If she's selling livers for hundreds of dollars instead of thousands, the entire industry could collapse.

A total victory for the good guys!

That sounds like something that would work for an alternate universe episode.
 
In all honesty her disposal method is probably to pay off the coroner to include her dead with the dead from the hospitals.

In Gotham, everyone is on the take.

Batwoman
Season 2 - Episode 11 - "Arrive Alive"

Luke Fox:
Refreshing--Luke still being the character he was meant to be, by using his AI to control the Batmobile in lieu of Wilder's less than superheroic driving skills. Amusing scene.

Wilder/BW / Sophie:
Thanks to Wilder's obsession with her gal-pal, she's screwing up Sophie's investigation. BW is not a detective (even with the intel Luke gives her), and is still new to the job, so her desperation to find Angelique coupled with inexperience makes her a liability, hence Sophie's "you have no idea what you've done!" Of course, the writers always intended BW to step up and prove her worth, by having Sophie forget her career of sense and training to partner up with Wilder after mean 'ol drug-addled Jacob kicked her off of the case. What a surprise.

But Luke's placement of the Bat-A.I. has been discovered, and now Sophie knows BW's true identity. This should be good going forward...in theory...

Roman Sionis/Black Mask: So far,he's a pretty decent villain. I hope he sticks around more than one season, and at least gives the addicted Jacob a chance to face off with him.

Enigma / Alice:
Well Alice is still running around murdering people. The central issue wit this series is that the misguided writers believe the audience is going to have even a moment of sympathy for Alice when she's unrepentant, and knowing this series, will never be made to pay for her crimes.

Enigma's wholly nonsensical psychobabble aside, there's no reason for Alice to remember Kate at all. The notion that Kate was any sort of a compass for a mass murderer is ridiculous in and out of the show's universe. The one surprise was Enigma unlocking the suppressed memories of Alice & Ocean's relationship. What Enigma's endgame was by setting them "free" (so to speak) raises many questions.

Still, they do have real romantic feelings for each other, but where can that possibly go....

NOTES: The series returns on May 2nd...at the bad slot of 9 p.m.

GRADE:C+.
 
Man, Ryan is really sloppy about leaving evidence behind. As soon as the camera lingered on that blood she spilled, I knew it would be a plot point later on. But I can't believe she left the Batmobile AI plugged into Mary's car. That's just careless.

There were moments earlier when it looked like Ryan was about to tell Sophie she was Batwoman. But I guess she still has too little trust in "Crowphie."

Sophie looked amazing in braids. She always looks amazing, but it was nice to see her with a natural hairstyle for once.

I wasn't sure if Enigma would tell Alice the truth about Kate not being dead after all. But I guess a psychiatrist (and an arch-criminal) is good at keeping confidences.
 
Part of me was hoping the bat AI would have a bat symbol on it when Sophie found it just because it would be so amusing. They were a little deceptive in the trailers making it look like street racing.
 
Ryan's DNA will be in the system because of her jail time. Russell Tavaroff will find it.
