I like Nia, but it’s too bad she has to be stuck with one of the worst superpowers for heroes (it’s nice for villains, as they usually get a version that’s actually useful).

The thing I noticed about the trailer is the book The Monitor is carrying. I’m wondering if that book belongs to Destiny and therefore confirmation that The Endless exist in the Arrowverse. 

Perhaps she learned from this guy.

Missed opportunity not naming the dragon Tad Cooper.

The Kerblam system wasn’t entirely innocent though. I find killing an innocent person to try to stop a fanatic by making him feel bad to extremely dubious reasoning. In fact, it’s surprising it wasn’t depicted as backfiring by making him hate the system even more.

It just occurred to me that the argument about aliens being so powerful that humans can’t compete is pretty much undercut when a bunch of guys with baseball bats are still apparently a threat to the majority of them. 

I’m enjoying this season, but I’m not enjoying the way they’re setting up Lena for a heel turn. I’m holding out hope that the introduction of Lex Luthor will be partly about her seeing the monster she could become and turning away from it. 

There’s a very good reason it wasn’t just mail bombs.

So we’ve had Doug Forcett, Donkey Doug and Doug Shellstrop. I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a pattern here. 

It was an interesting surprise to me that they dispatched Mercy and Otis like that. The way it was set up made it seem to me like they were always going to be the puppet masters behind Lockwood with their own agenda and I definitely did not see that coming. If anything, I thought it more likely that he wouldn’t make…

“They give the space car a 6 percent chance of hitting Earth in the next 1 million years, and a 2.5 percent chance of smacking Venus in that span.”

I never got the impression that they were just going to be left to starve to death. They said they would put them in the room, then find a way to humanely kill them. I assume that’s being left up to the local spider expert. 

It seems to me that in a species where either partner might change gender at any time, bisexuallity would be the norm. 

So the same thread that gave out on Hueys uniform was, nevertheless, strong enough to tie up a giant?

“Like the popup headlights on cars from the 80s and 90s”

Looking forward to this.

For some reason the version posted on i09 is darker than the original posted at Marvel.com. She’s a little more visible there.

My one nitpic is that I wonder how it is possible that Scrooge nearly bankrupting himself to build an entire space fleet can be treated as if it was a secret. I would think that would have been a major news item at the time and common knowledge to anyone who follows his exploits like Webby does, and there is no way…

Watching this, I was reminded of this gag forklift training video I saw ages ago. Turns out it’s because it was made by the same people.
