But at least Benedict bothered to fake an English accent, which is more than Tobolowsky did here.

She did look amazing with ‘70s hair.

I had the same reaction — I was hoping to see the actors bring their own interpretations to the characters, rather than just doing broad imitations of the original stars. Harrelson’s imitation of Carroll O’Connor was particularly stilted and weak. Foxx made a pretty good George for the most part, but his “strut” was…

“Again, I don’t know how they did that or why they didn’t keep reversing time until he was trapped in the box again, but here we are.”

Yes, and he played a half-dozen different roles in Big Finish’s Doctor Who audiobooks (including a Time Lord and a UNIT commanding officer) even before he was cast as the Doctor.

One of David Tennant’s finest line readings of all time: “Et tu, Headless Man-Horse?”

Catching bullets is one of the classic Superman/girl tricks (the Flash too), so I doubt it’s an homage to any one thing. But it’s a nice callback to an early season 1 episode where, IIRC, James (or maybe Winn) pointed out to Kara that it was better to catch bad guys’ bullets than let them potentially ricochet…

I think the writing and character work on this show are generally much better than they were on the cheesy original, but I agree that it would be nice if they focused more on the Power of Three, on the bond among the sisters rather than their separate, parallel storylines.

This is the drawback of modern serialized TV — with the need to keep multiple parallel storylines going simultaneously, there isn’t enough room to let a single high-concept episode-of-the-week premise get fully developed.

The NC-17 rating was introduced in September 1990, and Henry & June was the very first film to get it.

“while he temporarily subdues his loudest naysayer”

“And his cell needed to be built with multiple doors, to prevent anyone from listening in.”

Not until the end of the book, though. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are the Musketeers; D’Artagnan is a wannabe trying to earn his place alongside them. (And technically there was a whole company of dozens of Musketeers, but A, P, & A were the ones D’Arty befriended.)

Yes, The Twilight Zone was one of the few pre-ST:TNG genre shows in the US that lasted five years, a list that also included Dark Shadows (Wikipedia says it has 6 seasons, but it ran almost continuously and ended just under 5 years after it began), The Six Million Dollar Man, and The Incredible Hulk. The only…

There was a fair number of SF shows in the years before Star Wars, like the superhero shows I mentioned, Space: 1999, The Starlost, Planet of the Apes, The Invisible Man, Gemini Man, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, not to mention kids’ shows like Shazam, Isis, Ark II, and Land of the Lost. Keep in mind that the reason…

Yes... I grew up as an SF fan in a time when most SF/fantasy shows lasted no more than a year. The longer-running ones were mostly reruns like Star Trek and Lost in Space. Well, aside from superhero shows like the bionic shows and Wonder Woman, and eventually The Incredible Hulk.

“That five agents at the DEO know Supergirl’s secret identity feels like a pretty massive thing for the show to just offhandedly reveal.”

I know, and it’s very weird to me that an African-American character would be named after the president of the Confederacy. It seems in rather poor taste.

I figured that was supposed to be due to the best-bros bond between Nate and Ray.

I don’t think all the Legends “speak cat”; it was only Charlie and Constantine who were able to understand Cat-Zari, presumably because they’re magically attuned.
