“[Dirk Gently] would rather stretch his mind around seemingly impossible concepts . . . than believe in things that seem to run entirely contrary to human nature.”
“[Vlad’s] rise to power was basically predicated on everyone around him being kind of stupid and not figuring that something was up with the guy who went around ripping hearts out of chests at his own wedding.”
I disagree about the second part, but am totally on board with the first. The Doctor and Rose was silly.
By the way, I’m glad you included the Legion still in that photo collection. They’re probably my favorite under-served DC team, and I was rather impressed with what Smallville did with them. Now if we can just get someone to do a good live action series, maybe in the Arrowverse . . .
At the beginning, I agree. My understanding is that as the producers became more amenable to the tights Welling became less (or maybe just held to the same position he always had), and that by the time his last contract was written he explicitly said that no way, no how was he going to put on the suit.
Actually, I understand it wasn’t so much corporate interference as a clause Welling insisted on in his contract.
Given the number of police shootings we’ve had in New Mexico lately, “legal intervention” as the most distinctive cause of death here makes perfect sense.
The problem is it’s the biggest thing that was *explicitly* stated about her backstory. Even connecting the Red Room to the girls from Agent Carter is only implied (I think; I don’t remember them ever calling it “The Red Room” in Agent Carter). The only things said or shown were that she was trained as a spy in the…
Wait . . . how the heck can it be a sequel to both the movie and the novel? They end in *very* different places!
It’s that f@$*ing picture. Damn thing freaks me out every time I see it, even now.
There are two fairly obvious ways to get Wells back with the SuperSTARs: Either Barry time travels and saves the real Wells, or, and after last night I think this is more likely, Eobard absorbed the real Wells’ personality along with his form and he reforms - at least until he realizes that Eobard is secretly doing…
I loved that scene, but am I the only one who was laughing out loud by the end of it? I mean, it wasn’t implausible, but it was just so over the top. And it kind of made me think, “Is this how Daredevil wins? By just utterly refusing to lie down and bleed like a sane person?”
For some reason seeing the title as part of a trailer makes it seem more like a legal case. And here I thought I’d finally gotten over that perception.
Considering that he responded to a comment about people's reaction when they found out he did her voice with "I don't do the voice, dahling!" in the Edna Mode voice, I don't think much warming up will be required.
I still maintain that the Dream Lord probably is the Valeyard. The timing is right (if you assume the Master meant "incarnation" when he said "regeneration"), and I can totally buy that he would want to hijack his own body in the past given half a chance.
Is that Trace Beaulieu as the robot? (/me checks IMDB.) Hey, it is!
I don't think the cast overall was the problem with either version. I actually liked Terry Farrell's Cat almost as much as Danny John-Jules'. I think the main problem was the half-assed Americanization managed to drain most of the good British humor and add some bad American humor. That and they were trying too hard…
Dragon did a joke Monster Manual once that included things like pigeontoads, bubblegum dragons, and blink wooly mammoths.
Doesn't Roz al-Ghul waitress at the diner outside Nanda Parbat?
