The only thing I'm actually curious to know about this movie is:

Diggle whispering in Ollie's ear to let him know about crimes in progress, and Ollie then making lame excuses to his family, reminded me of something, and it's only just struck me what it is:

If we're nominating other books, would it be kosher to mention my own?

There were three people there — Walter, Donald, and the child. We saw all three of them on the video at one point.

Too many people take the wrong lesson from Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein's mistake wasn't that he tried to improve on nature; it was that he gave up on his creation and rejected his responsiblity for it the moment he finished creating it. If he'd stuck with it, if he'd nurtured and managed the project he'd undertaken…

If Judi Dench could play M in two James Bond continuities, then Simmons could play JJJ in two Spidey continuities. On the other hand, ever since seeing Gerald McRaney as the cantankerous, sarcastic spy boss in Undercovers, I've felt he'd make a fantastic Jameson.

I think you mean it doesn't feature a tidally locked orbit. Tidal lock means one side always faces the star.

It was the evolution of the cartoon mouse, Mus jerricus. In order to protect itself, it employed cunning stratagems to get the sabertooth cat repeatedly beaten up by the bear dog.

I agree completely. Maxine knew that Reese was "The Man in the Suit" (which is a lousy superhero name, by the way). It's just that the actress (Gloria Votsis from White Collar) didn't play the subtext very well.

Right. The problem isn't with carbon dioxide itself; the problem is that there's too much of it, that the excess is creating a harmful imbalance. Of course, the idea that something taken to extremes can be bad, that moderation and balance are what we need to restore, is something that people like Michelle Bachmann…

That's the voice they're using for Axe Cop? I'm underwhelmed. In my mind's ear, Axe Cop's voice is Jeff Bennett doing his Charlton Heston impersonation.

I think you mean "sights," not "sites."

It's common for character names to change this early in a production. Sometimes it's to fit the actor (like when TNG security chief "Macha" Hernandez became Natasha Yar when Denise Crosby was cast, or when DS9's Julian Amoros became Julian Bashir when Alexander Siddig was cast), sometimes it's because there are legal…

You mention two different works called The Year 23: A Record of the Future, but with different authors and publication years, one from Suehiro Tetcho in 1885, the other from Ryuso Gaishi in 1883. Is this correct? If so, why did they both have the same title?

Letting Mitchell get recaptured was part of Rosen's strategy. The convoy was the bait for trapping Scipio, and Parish was meant to get his hands on Mitchell so he'd discover that Rosen had wiped his memories.

If this were true, wouldn't there also be an equivalent anomaly for the Voyager probes, which are even more distant?

The stability issue could be solved with the same kind of computer technology that lets Segways and the like stay upright.

I thought the Technosphere was Krang and Shredder's home base... ;)

How exciting to see my own Only Superhuman on your release calendar! For more information:

Why the heck did Nick and Hank, who are homicide cops, get this case before the body was found, when it was just an embezzlement case? That was very contrived plotting.
