Midlife Crisis

Well that's the Crisis cliffhanger until the next two episodes in January. It's been underwhelming so far. They claim that the Crisis is urgent and important, yet the heroes split off into mini-groups to do stupid side quests like trying to revive Oliver. They have plenty of time to kill and don't seem in any hurry at all. It's so meandering, slow, and unfocused. The third episode is possibly the best of the lot, but it's still full of people wandering around the ship pursuing their own private agendas, or trekking to Purgatory. Why is the Monitor spending so much time gathering Paragons, or rather delegating the search to some of the heroes, but not all of them? Why didn't he come prepared with all the Paragons before the Crisis started? Why allow heroes to waste time on reviving Oliver? Why not explicitly forbid it and punish them for their selfishness and inability to let go of one man who willingly sacrificed himself? He's apparently been preparing to die his whole last season, and yet they want to drag out his death even more with a futile rebirth? Way to cheapen his death, guys.

Plus all they keep talking about is each Earth dying, but what about other fucking planets like Krypton, Mars, etc? It's supposed to be entire fucking universes dying, not one damn planet! Stupid damn crossovers with too many characters and too little actual work to do. Stop doing these pointless things. Why can't this be over already?
