I’m sure the radioactive mutants from Donald Trump’s World War III will have some great myths to create about it.

I saw a book by him in the store recently, ostensibly about grilling, titled “Guy on Fire.” I pointed it out and said to my wife, “Yeah, as greasy as he looks all the time, I’m not surprised.”

As much as the CW has been plumbing the depths of the DCU for characters, I would love to see the development of a Question TV series. Bear with me here. We’ve introduced Renee Montoya in Supergirl but she doesn’t start out as The Question. Let’s have a new player come in as Vic Szasz. Let him play the role for a

Speaking of the show not taking itself too seriously anymore, let’s hear it for the subtle introduction of District Attorney Adrian Chase, AKA Vigilante!

I thought it was a real missed opportunity for hysterical amusement that Legends of Tomorrow didn't make Hawkman into Kenny and kill him off once an episode.

Well, I don’t know if I might be the only person (ever) to have seen the movie House II: the Second Story, but John Ratzenberger has an entertaining, unforgettable turn as an electrician and “part-time adventurer,” who I recall saying something to the effect of (read in your best Cliff Clavin voice): “Looks like you

The Ted Kord Blue Beetle.

I’d pay money to see another Last Starfighter. Maybe The Next Starfighter? Gunstars 4-evar!

Fancy Lee is the Boba Fett of Killjoys. People will be talking about him for years after the show is done. MARK MY WORDS!!

Cat Grant had the line of the episode (and maybe the season) when she stopped, stared at Winn, Barry, Jimmy, and Kara, and said “You all look like the attractive, racially-diverse but nonthreatening cast of a CW show.”
